Description

"


Green Card Brides offers a personal and poignant exploration of the American Dream's elusiveness. The narrative follows the author's struggle to make ends meet while working long shifts as a caregiver and Uber driver, all while applying for legal status in hopes of bringing his wife and children to join him.


However, this book transcends individual experience, serving as a clarifying backdrop for the global migrant crisis and a rallying cry for change. The author shares not only his own story, marked by taking on 3D (dirty, dangerous, and demeaning) jobs to survive, but also the stories of other migrants encountered along the way.


Through these tales, "Green Card Brides" provides a rare and emotional insider's look at what it's like to leave everything behind in pursuit of a better life, only to face constant obstacles. The author's harrowing journey as a Black African essential worker highlights the need for a shift away from corporate greed and exploitation, advocating for a different political conversation about why so many migrants look westward for better lives.
