See out for details. And we continue here with our American stories. And now it's time for one of our favorite recurring segments. Our American Dreamers series, which is brought to us by the great folks at Job Creators Network.
And they're working hard in Washington, DC and state capitals across this country, trying to work for policies that help small business owners become bigger business owners and get their part of the American dream. And now we bring you a powerful immigrant story. My name is Gladys Gonzalez, and I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. My life hasn't been easy.
And maybe because of that, I learned many lessons. I have learned that life can change from night to day, for better or for worse, like it happened to me when I was working in Colombia, and I was so happy there. I had a VP position or a bank with headquarters in New York at the time of the drug dealers war. In 91, the first drug dealer had to come to the States in extradition.
Our view is the right approach is to bring to justice narcotics traffickers to coordinate and cooperate as best as we can with Colombia. The drug dealers said for every drug dealer that you send to the United States, we are going to kill seven Americans or people that works for Americans. And at that point, the bank decided to close business in Colombia. I had been working for them already nine years. It was a nightlife.
My salary was in dollars. So I had a very good life. I had time to share with my family.
It was beautiful. But unfortunately, I had to leave the country. So I decided to move to Utah. I really had a hard life in the United States at the beginning. I had this hope that because I was an executive in an American bank in Colombia, I will be able to get a good job soon here. But it didn't happen. I didn't have an MBA.
I didn't have a title from United States only from Colombia. So I ended up cleaning floors. And for that, I was very qualified.
I started from the very bottom of the ladder. I had three jobs at the same time. One of my jobs was taking care of people with disabilities. When I was finished with that job, I will go to my second job that was to clean offices. Then I will go home to sleep for a couple of hours and get up the next day to start my routine again.
On Saturdays, I had my third job delivering delivering bundles of newspapers to kids carriers so they could drop the newspapers in their neighborhoods. I learned firsthand how hard the life of an immigrant could be. Many times, I remember my kids telling me, Mom, what would have been worse for us to stay in our country facing the drug dealers and guerrilla war or moving to USA to face this tough life? And I will tell them, don't worry, we will make our way out of this someday.
We just need to be patient. I got to the conclusion that only in having a business, I will be able to succeed. And I started looking what type of business I could have that will help me to succeed.
So I started by, what is not available in Utah? And I thought, hmm, there is no a Hispanic newspaper here. So probably that's what I'm going to do. So I started the newspaper and the first newspaper took us a month to do it. So you can imagine how fresh the news were. Since the beginning, my dream was integration. So I decided, okay, we will have bilingual editorials. And so I thought, how can I make people start placing advertising? And I said, I need to get a couple of companies that are powerful here. So I went to visit with them, and I told them, I will donate the full page in my newspaper. You don't have to pay me anything. But if you want to outreach the Hispanic community, I will give you the ad for free, but you gave me the ad totally ready. And for them, it was a good deal.
So they say, okay, let's do it. My next challenge came when I didn't have cash flow. So I started thinking, okay, I will have to close the newspaper.
And at that point, I visited with late Senator Pete Suazo. And I told him, I have to close the newspaper. And he told me, no, you cannot do that.
That's the voice of the community. So he told me, how much money do you need? And I said, $10,000 cash flow. So he told me, have you been rejected by any bank? And I said, yes. Do you have a letter?
Yes, I do. And he said, well, that's all we need. There is an organization called Youth Microenterprise Loan. So we can apply with the letter of denial due to a business plan. And I'll help you to present to the committee. I got the loan. And the day that I got the loan, I took a photocopy of the check. And then at nine, I wrote an outline of my vision of what will be a business center resource for minorities, where people will be able to get education, how to write a business plan, how to apply for loans. And at the same time, I will team up with banks to have source of capital available for them.
In 2002, when Pete Suazo died, I decided that I wanted to honor his legacy. And I asked authorization to his family to use his name and to create the Suazo Center nonprofit. And we have served between 7,000 and 8,000 companies since the inception of the center.
One of those companies is actually a change of nine supermarkets. It is owned by a Mexican woman. And we helped her with the first little store and later on when she wanted to open the first big supermarket in a Latino mall. A team of eight people were helping her to create all the business plan.
And she got a loan for $700,000. Today, she gives employment to over 500 people. For me, the American dream is not about what the government does for us or who is the president. For me, it is about contributing our talents toward big causes. It's about alleviating the suffering of those in need. It's about being a valuable part of the country that is now at home.
It's learning the language and not having fear of expressing ourselves even if we have a strong accent. I consider myself that I have fully lived the American dream. I continue living the American dream. And you've been listening to Gladys Gonzalez, founder of the Suazo Center, which helps Hispanic entrepreneurs create their own American dream. Gladys was an executive at a bank and came to the country, and that expertise and experience just wasn't honored. And so she was cleaning floors, but with patience and with diligence, ended up living her own version of the American dream. A great immigrant story here on Our American Stories. Hello, iHeart listener.
We have a confession to make. Both iHeart and this commercial you're listening to right now would probably sound a heck of a lot better on the new Roke Pro Series TV. It's got side firing speakers that fill your room with sound. Dolby Atmos audio that puts you right in the middle of the entertainment and the ability to pair seamlessly with your home theater sound systems that already have surround sound and booming bass. If all that sounds too good to be true, it'll sound even better on the new Roku Pro Series. Your hearing isn't better.
