The episode starts with a brief update from Christen on the global and national news surrounding displacement and a quick word from Nell on what's going on behind the scenes at The Off Ramp.
Then we catch with up with Lupe Franco as she shares her inspiring story of leaving her home in Venezuela and what it's been like to try and reinvent herself in the United States.
Once a high-ranking diplomat, she is unable to utilize her experience and education even though she moved to the Washington, DC area in hopes of doing just that.
Today, she has tapped into her creativity and is in the early stages of developing a skincare line. Her greatest challenge since starting over? Well, you'll have to listen to find out but it's probably not what you think!
