From his humble beginnings as part of the city council, his skyrocketing popularity and his political elan brought him to Washington, D.C., after having been elected as his district’s representative. Prieto was equally successful as her sister as he found his calling in New York City’s political scene where he is a rising star. Olga has an older brother, Pedro “Prieto” Acevedo, whose story ran parallel to her story. To the casual spectator, Olga, at the age of forty, was seen as a success story of the proverbial American Dream. She fought for her dreams and became a successful businesswoman who has her own space, two huge achievements in a bustling metropolis like New York City. It was a world of glamour that she was tiptoeing on. She has managed the wedding of some of the power brokers from Manhattan to Dallas to Palm Beach.
Her ambitiousness led her to become an entrepreneur sought after by the elite and celebrities. Born and raised in South Brooklyn, Olga was the daughter of two Puerto Rican immigrants and was resolute in her goal of becoming a success story. Gonzalez’s debut novel commenced in 2017 in New York City where the eponymous Olga Isabel Acevedo has established a reputation as a top-notch wedding events organizer. Such can be gleaned from the story of the main character in Xochitl Gonzalez’s novel, Olga Dies Dreaming. But while many face their doom, there are also those who persisted and eventually succeeded. Most of the time these ugly realities start manifesting later. However, the reality of the American Dream is a far cry from the rosy lenses they were often advertised in. The story of migrants and refugees rushing to cross boundaries because of this promise has become ubiquitous. The promise of greener pastures and better opportunities in the Land of Milk and Honey is a strong selling point to everyone who were struggling to establish financial stability in their homelands.
Over the past few decades, many migrated to the United States in the hopes of having a taste of the American Dream.
