Diane Guerrero Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Named one of the top 10 Latina actresses to watch by Variety magazine, Orange is the New Black star Diane Guerrero draws from her personal and professional experiences to inspire audiences that success is possible—no matter the obstacles in your way. Her book, In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman's extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven't been told.
