A First Generation CEO's Journey with Liz Ramírez

Growing up in Imperial Valley, Liz Ramírez's parents instilled in
her the value of learning. "In order to break barriers, I needed an
education," she recalls. Ramírez shares the story of her struggles
and successes as a first-generation immigrant navigating her way
through college at UC San Diego. Family, community service, and
mentorship all played a role, and she stresses the importance of
staying connected to people who can make your dreams possible.
Currently CEO of the Chicano Federation, Ramírez continues to give
back to and be an advocate for others in her community and beyond.
