Inocente Azucar is an undocumented Latina artist whose story of struggle won people over when it was packaged into an Oscar-winning documentary last year. After years of living in the U.S. under the threat of deportation, Inocente announced that she’s been granted permanent residency and is now the proud owner of a Green Card. She’ll now be able to travel to Mexico to see family she hasn’t seen in more than 15 years.
