• September 2017
As an immigrant forced to leave a country she loves, entrepreneur Amara Barroeta brings the strength, courage, and resilience of Venezuelan women to her adopted nation, the United States. She has learned that with the support of their communities, immigrants can and will contribute to the rich culture, and prosperity, of their new homes.
Originally from Venezuela, Amara emigrated to the United States in 2010. The increasing political unrest and corruption in her home country led Amara to make the difficult, but heartfelt, decision to stay permanently in the United States.
