Welcome to episode 116 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Griselda Abousleman shares her inspiring journey from growing up in Brownsville, Texas, as the daughter of immigrant parents, to becoming a business advisor, career coach, and author.

In this episode, Griselda reflects on her family’s migration story, the challenges she faced in her early years, and how education became a powerful pathway for her future. She opens up about her time at Stanford, the resilience and optimism that guided her through obstacles, and the role her family’s support played in her success.

Griselda takes us through her journey from student to professional, highlighting her work in supporting women in STEM and her mission to empower others through business coaching. She shares the story behind her book, “From the Border to the Boardroom,” and the lessons she hopes readers take away.

To Griselda, the American Dream means resilience, family, and creating opportunities for others.

With Love, Heidy
