About this audiobook
The Rise of a First Gen is the story of a Caribbean woman determined to rise to professional success, despite being unsure how to accomplish it. She was raised with the “typical” mindset and expectations of a first-generation American: excel in school, eliminate leisure activities, and work tirelessly until a supervisor acknowledges superior performance. However, along her journey to obtain the “American Dream,” she has to redefine her approach to her goals, learning the unspoken rules that apply in professional circles, and taking action in order to climb higher.
