Hada María Morales—Daring Others to Succeed |
People from all over the world arrive to the United States with the hopes of achieving the American Dream and are often confronted with a harsh reality. Nicaraguan Hada María Morales's story started off the same way but quickly took many turns. Ultimately she found herself in a position to help others overcome the obstacles that impede stability in a new country. Morales arrived in Florida in 1987, along with her three daughters and her husband, Raúl, to open a small business in Miami. A housewife and stay-at-home mom, Morales says those first few years were "a difficult transition because [in Latin America] you have family to help you." But soon after, Morales found her first calling and became active in the community
organization Woman for Human Rights, giving motivational speeches to victims of domestic violence and encouraging them to take a stand for their future.
