This book is my personal story of just how elusive the American Dream can be. I share my struggle as I work long shifts as a caregiver and Uber driver to make ends meet while I apply for legal status, hoping to bring my wife and children. But this is more than just my story. It serves as a clarifying backdrop for the global migrant crisis and a rallying cry for change. Here, I share not only my personal experiences as someone who has to take 3D (dirty, dangerous, and demeaning) jobs to survive, but the stories of other migrants I have met along the way as well. It is a rare and emotional insider's look at what it's like to leave everything for a better life for your family, only to be blocked at every turn. My own harrowing journey as a Black African essential worker points toward an enlightened path away from corporate greed and exploitation, introducing a different political conversation about why I, and so many fellow migrants, are looking westward for better lives.
