Living in the Shadows of Potential- I came to the U.S. on a student visa to pursue a Master’s in Data Science, hopeful and ambitious. Post-graduation, my visa expired. Suddenly I was undocumented—no legal status, no right to work formally, and stripped of any health coverage. I ended up managing a small freelance consultancy, low-wage tutoring gigs ($12/hr), and late-night deliveries. I juggled classes, clients, and side hustles without safety nets.

I also tutor in cash, wage is $12/hr. I’m a workaholic, chasing degrees and side projects, glued to the dream of a better life. But without health insurance and terrified of hospitals that could ruin me, I live in constant fear of getting sick.

“Living Between Borders”: Immigrant, No Insurance, Workaholic Student- I moved to the U.S. from West Africa on a student visa, chasing two dreams: finish my master’s in Computer Science and build a brighter future for my daughter, Ena (age 8).
