In the ninth episode, meet Rosa, a babysitter from Dominican Republic. A single mother and former teacher, Rosa came to the US with her two sons in 2016. Adjusting to life in the country, she has found a sense of community and fulfillment among other immigrants. Work leaves little room for Rosa to pursue her dream of learning English. Still, she jumps at any learning opportunity. Rosa also makes sure to support other immigrant women along the way (this is Spanish-English episode).

Real People. Real Lives. Women Immigrants of New York is a storytelling project from New Women New Yorkers that elevates immigrant stories, moving beyond statistics and political rhetoric. The third, 2020 edition of the project highlights a diverse group of immigrant women living in New York City – frontline workers, journalists, stay-at-home moms, artists and entrepreneurs, among others – on a series of podcasts to be released weekly from December 18, 2020 through March 8, 2021. Participants talked about their immigrant experience and reflected on ideas of home and belonging within the backdrop of a year like no other in New York City - marked by the pandemic, racial justice protests and a presidential election.
