My Access Abroad

The Founders

My Access Abroad grew out of our own migration challenges from navigating undocumented status to finding work in the U.S. as an international student, these experiences led us to document how other underrepresented migrants in the U.S. built their lives, careers, and businesses. Today, we partner with institutions, governments, and organizations all over the world to reach investors, entrepreneurs, artists, students, and professionals on the move. We evolved into a platform that documents and harnesses migrants’ cultural knowledge to truly understand what it takes to access and succeed abroad.
