Before we started the program we didn't know we could start our own business with an ITIN. The program was a perfect fit because we were looking to take the next steps to establish our business.

I knew that if I ever had an opportunity, like this one, to connect with an organization that cared about mobile vendors I would be first in line to support my people. We still face discrimination, but we know our rights now. We know we deserve dignity and respect.

As a newly single mom, I needed to find a job where I could work remotely from home while taking care of my daughter. After contemplating my limited options, I started my online accessory store. I was overwhelmed at first because I had to manage my business from beginning to end all by myself. But now, I feel empowered because there are people who love my accessories. I hope my business grows, so that I can hire people who share my passion.

Use your story as a weapon to conquer the world.
