In this episode of The Immigrant Experience in America, I sit down with Erika Warner, a Latina entrepreneur, educator, founder of Inglés Pa’ Mi Gente, and mom.

Erika’s journey began when she immigrated to the U.S. as a child, navigating the emotional and linguistic challenges of learning English in a world that didn’t feel like home.

Today, she runs a thriving six-figure business teaching English to Spanish-speaking immigrants, people who share her story and her struggle.

But Erika’s success didn’t happen overnight. Her story is one of slow, determined progress: raising a family, carving out space in a new culture, and building a business that gives voice to a community often overlooked.

In this powerful conversation, we explore:

💬 What it means to live between two worlds as an immigrant parent
🌱 Raising children while raising yourself
🎯 Turning lived experience into a mission-led business
🔥 Balancing burnout, guilt, and ambition as a working mom
📈 How she grew from kitchen-table videos to 230K+ followers and a top-charting podcast

Erika’s story is a reminder that immigrant success doesn’t always follow a straight line, but it’s always worth celebrating.

Tune in to hear her truth, her grit, and her wisdom.
