The National Immigration Law Center’s Freedom to Thrive Podcast is powering pro-immigrant narratives one story at a time. The podcast sheds light on immigration truths missing from the national dialogue, while centering the humanity of immigrants through storytelling. On the show, Victoria engages in conversation with cultural influencers, artists, activists and people at the center of policymaking.
In Season One, we explore how we can create a society where everyone, regardless of how much money we have, what we look like, or where we were born, has the Freedom to Thrive.
The podcast host, Victoria Ballesteros, is a national immigrant rights leader, award-winning writer, storyteller, mom, daughter of Mexican immigrants and creative force behind Freedom To Thrive:
A Vision For All of Us. Victoria has developed several
impactful narrative and culture change initiatives including
#ImmigrantsAreEssential, which won a 2021 Shorty Award and
2022 Gold Anthem Award for Human & Civil Rights. Join her for
an engaging, informative and inspiring conversation!
