In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Cuban-American refugee, advocate and content creator Amanda Diaz speaks in her own words to Glamour about her family seeking political asylum, growing up in the U.S. as a first-generation immigrant, how learning English from YouTube accidentally sprung a vibrant career in the fashion and beauty space, and how Amanda is taking after her parents as activists, including a visit to the White House just last week to meet with senior administration officials and Dr. Jill Biden to discuss issues specifically impacting Latinas and Cubans across the country.
