Camila Cabello Shares Powerful Essay on Immigrating to America

Further proving why she and her Fifth Harmony bandmates more than deserve their spot in the future of Hispanic Heritage Month, Camila Cabello wrote a moving piece about her and her family's experiences immigrating to America.

Over at PopSugar, the 19-year-old Cuba native shared how her family moved between Cuba to Mexico, only for her and her mother to make the move across the border with her dad joining them at a later date. 

Some of the more poignant moments include a detailed description of what it's like waiting for permission to enter the States: 

"After she sat down with the immigration officer in a tiny office, we and a bunch of people from other countries with similar hopes were placed in rooms with tiny beds in them, a hotel full of these rooms. It was me and my mom and two other families in a little room waiting for somebody to come in and let us know if we were going to be granted permission to enter the US or be sent back. Some people spent days there, some spent weeks in agonizing anxiety over what the answer would be."
