Teresa Gabriel Roldán came to California with her parents and siblings when she was 14 years old. Like any good teenager, she absorbed the American culture like a sponge and having Hollywood a stone's throw away, the Mexican living in Pico Rivera was immediately infected with the worm of acting.

"I have been doing theater since I was 17 years old," explained the young woman born in Guanajuato about her passion. "I went to see a play in Los Angeles [and] a friend told me that they were giving acting classes and that's how I started doing theater and how I started to form my acting career."

The problem? Gaby, as her friends call her, had arrived without papers. That did not stop her artistic vocation, but it did place more obstacles in an already complicated career.

"In my theater group there has been an opportunity to go to another country, to Colombia … to Mexico," Roldán explained to People en Español, who appears on the cover of the November issue of the magazine dedicated to DREAMers and the future of DACA.

"When I have participated in assemblies and they are invited to go to another country, the first thing that occurs to us is that I cannot leave the country and we always have to find a replacement," he lamented. “You feel a limitation in those things. Of not being able to go out, to see other things, in that aspect it has affected me as an actress, definitely.”
