Rosa’s Story: Undocumented and Unemployed in the Pandemic: Episode 5 of our Podcast Series, “A Better Life?”

Rosa — an undocumented Mexican immigrant who cleans hotel rooms in Phoenix, AZ — lost her income just a few weeks into the coronavirus pandemic. But she quickly fought back. Reporter and Feet in 2 Worlds fellow Maritza L. Félix tells us her story.

Félix first reported Rosa’s story for Slate in late April.

A Better Life? is a ten-part series about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on immigrants across the U.S. Read more about the series here.
