At 23, she took matters into her own hands and began a career in music talent management, passionately advocating for rising Latinx artists. Her swift success transformed her into a pillar for first- and second-generation Americans as well as a breadwinner for her undocumented family.<\/p>\n<p>Three years later, Doris abruptly receives news that forces her to reconsider working in music. At this moment of crisis, Doris finds Jacks Haupt, a promising Chicana singer, desperate to break out of her home in Dallas, Texas. Beyond shared moments of joy and hope, Doris and Jacks bond over the ever-present guilt of being the first American-born members of their undocumented families and the financial risks of pursuing their dreams. What&#8217;s more, their success is inextricably tied to their family&#8217;s hopes for citizenship and family reunification.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3544832553\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Mija<\/em> is a moving love letter to immigrants and their children and to the daughters that fight for their families, their dreams, and themselves.
