When Andreia Gibau first landed at Boston Logan Airport at just seven years old, she came across a pamphlet with a picture on the cover of a city with tall buildings and bright lights. It was so different than anything she had ever seen on her tiny home island in Cape Verde; it was New York City. And little did she know, that city was going to change her life. Andreia is now a speaker, philanthropist, and the reigning Miss New York USA. She is an inspiration to all immigrants, showing that anything is possible when you're not afraid to chase your dreams.
