With Miami Workers Center I learned to help other domestic workers like me to fight for what they deserve: good pay, sick days, etc, but the most important is that the jobs that domestic workers do are valuable and please put some respect on our name.

Fighting for the community is my blood, my work and my life’s sacrifice. My community is in need of housing justice and so I am going to continue fighting until we all can have a dignified place to live.
