The young woman was one of thousands of Cubans who took to the streets to protest on July 11, 2021, and the regime’s violent repression changed her forever.

After crossing the border into Texas, he first settled in Kentucky with his brother; Then he went to Miami, a city he loves and where he feels at home.
“Miami is the free and prosperous Cuba that all Cubans dream of. And that we at least have the opportunity to live it here. It is living proof of everything a Cuban can do in freedom,” he said.
From his work in the series “Tras la Huella” and the Word Soup for Children, he recalled that doing television in Cuba is almost a feat at the moment.
“Television needs money and resources, and if you don’t invest in them, you won’t get the expected result. From the perspective of studio maintenance, transportation, salary, food. It’s quite complicated…” he explained.
In Miami she had the opportunity to do theater and play a small role in the film Plantadas by Lilo and Camilo Vilaplana.
“I am very proud to have worked with them and these wonderful and talented actresses and to be part of a film that denounces the Cuban dictatorship and highlights the work of all these courageous women who were deployed here,” she emphasized.
