Building on Her Father’s Sacrifice: Monet Bacs’ Fight for the American Dream
Episode 298
Monday, 5 May, 2025
What would you sacrifice for freedom? For Monet Bacs, Strategic Director at the LIBRE Initiative in Arizona, her father's answer was clear—everything. In this moving episode, host David From sits down with Monet to explore the legacy of her father, who fled Guatemala in search of opportunity, safety, and a future he couldn’t find at home. Arriving in the U.S. as a teenage exchange student who spoke no English, Monet’s father built a life rooted in hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering belief in the American Dream. “I’d rather be homeless in America than live under tyranny,” he once said—and he lived those words, choosing struggle in freedom over comfort in oppression. Monet also opens up about her grandfather’s horrifying experience in communist Cuba and how her father’s heartbreaking death during COVID, amid a broken healthcare system, ignited her passion for meaningful policy reform. Today, she works through the LIBRE Initiative to empower Hispanic communities with access to economic opportunity, education, and better healthcare—carrying forward the legacy of sacrifice and service passed down by her father. It’s a powerful story of resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to honor freedom. 🔗 Learn more about the LIBRE Initiative at: https://thelibreinitiative.com
