"A lot of people are afraid to dream big because they think they will fail, but if you don't ask for it, you won't get it."

Rocío Medina van Nierop co-founded Latinas in Tech to empower Latinas across the globe to grow in their tech careers. Frustrated that the majority of Latinas in tech get stuck in entry-level positions, Rocío is on a mission to empower Latinas to ask for the raise, to encourage more well-represented individuals to be allies to Latinas in their companies, and to ultimately close the Latinas in tech pipeline gap.

On this week's episode of The American Dream, Rocío challenges Elias with the statement, "The American Dream is broken."
