Meet Cecilia Brentlinger, an on-demand driver.

On-demand drivers face many challenges in their “everyday hustle”, from road rage, to personal safety issues, to low pay. Cecilia Brentlinger came to New York from Peru in search of a better life for her son. She started working as an on-demand driver for the freedom of determining her own hours, but quickly learned this flexibility comes at a price.
