Carla: Escaping the identity box

Undocu-Life: No Longer Dreaming

What does it mean to call three different places home? Carla Nicole Gott Ramirez — born in Venezuela and raised in Bolivia and the Washington, D.C. area, explores how she was able to embrace these multiple identities within her after migrating to the United States from Bolivia in 2001.
In this episode, Carla runs us through how her citizenship and immigration status dictated her schooling, finances, and travel opportunities. Carla discusses the conflicting feelings she had after she received her green card, why she currently calls D.C. home, and how she was able to re-discover her love for Bolivia as an adult through a platform she co-founded called, “How to La Paz.” Tune in to this episode of Undocu-Life to hear more about how Carla embraces all of her identities, and escapes the box that limits her to just being “Latina.”
