In this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Julissa Arce, a nationally recognized author, speaker, and social justice advocate, joins Momentum Co-host Chevon to discuss her journey from being undocumented and working at Goldman’s Sack to sharing her story with thousands of people through her writing.

Julissa shares with us the various nuances and sacrifices undocumented people have to go through in the immigration system. She also gives us insight into her thought process while writing her new book, You Sound Like A White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation, where she came to the realization that assimilation to whiteness is often mistaken for assimilating to American culture.

Hear more about the different obstacles undocumented people are currently facing by tuning in to Episode 1 of Race Forward’s new podcast Reflections: Immigrant Rights Movement – a limited podcast series.

And don’t forget to plan to attend Facing Race: the largest multiracial, inter-generational gathering for organizers, educators, creatives, and other leaders.
