Hi there, my name is Jacqueline, and I am the creator of My Revolution NYC.

Quién soy? Soy una Argentina que también es Boliviana, navigating life in the city that never sleeps. By day, I work, and by night, I lie awake overthinking how I can make a difference for myself and those around me.

I created My Revolution NYC during the devastating COVID-19 pandemic as a way to generate mutual aid funds for immigrant families being separated all across the United States. Reflecting on my personal experiences helped me figure out what I wanted to work on and what kind of platform I needed to build.

The biggest takeaway for me as I continue to work on My Revolution NYC is that I can make a difference in someone's life, regardless of my legal status. I think that for a very long time, I felt I was limited because I did not have a permanent solution for my status, but as time passed, I have learned more and more that if not now then when? As immigrants we are more than just a piece of paper saying we belong, and if I can help others see that, then I have truly formed a revolution!
