A young woman who tearfully and publicly confessed to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that she was an undocumented immigrant was praised by Clinton for being incredibly brave.

Actress America Ferrera moderated the event Thursday at the Lower East Side Girls Club in New York City, billed as the first in a series of the Clinton Foundations No Ceilings conversations aimed at bringing together women and girls from around the world to discuss female empowerment and growth.

Ferrera turned to the group of women in attendance for questions to ask the hosts, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. Among the women who raised their hands, one in particular stood out.

You seem like you have something you want to say, Ferrera said, pointing at a young woman in the audience.

As she stood up, no one expected the life-changing statement she was about to make.

My name is Nova. Im 19-years-oldand I have a very different glass ceiling than some of the girls are exhibiting here, she said.

Nova paused, took a deep breath, and then revealed her secret.

For the first time publicly. I want to say that I am an undocumented immigrant.

As the gravity of what she had just said sunk in, the young womans eyes swelled with tears.
