In the latest episode of DNA of a MAKER, actress, author and activist Diane Guerrero opens up about her experiences growing up as a child of undocumented parents and then being separated from them at the age of 14.

Guerrero, perhaps best known for her work on Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, shares her story to help others understand the plight (and positivity too!) of immigration survivors.

At 34, the biggest lessons she’s learned along the way is to lead with love. Learn more about Guerrero and how she handles slights (by not taking things personally), prioritizes forgiveness and deals with perfectionism.
