Keila Genith's story
My name is Keila, and I am originally from Santander, Colombia. I came to the United States seeking safety and a better future for my daughter. Leaving my country was not an easy decision. After my sister was kidnapped, I was threatened by a guerrilla group on two different occasions. Living with that fear made me realize that I needed to leave Colombia to protect myself and my family and find a safer place to build our future.
When I arrived in the United States, I began working for a cleaning company. This job allowed me to provide for my daughter and cover our basic needs, but I wanted more than just financial survival. I wanted to create a source of income that would give me greater flexibility and allow me to spend more quality time with my daughter while continuing to provide her with everything she needs.
