In an interview with Hansel Porras García for Yucabyte, the actress assures that the decision to emigrate was essentially for family reasons. But it still gave him mixed feelings.
“I felt a little selfish and cowardly for not staying and continuing to fight with those there (…) Shame for several reasons: First, because I “abandoned ship,” he said.
According to the actress, she left Cuba to seek a better future for her children. “They wanted to leave Cuba and they would do it with or without me. “Young people are losing hope on my beautiful island, that is the sad truth,” he said.
He admits that his emigration “is very recent” and that he therefore “misses everything very much, from the people, the family and the friends, to the potholes in the streets, the weeds that the whole neighborhood complains about, to “to the cobwebs on some corner.” from the roof of the house.”
“I think about Cuba and my eyes still get wet,” he admits.

“Everything depends a lot on the will and commitment of each individual, on the willingness to make sacrifices and work hard, because there is hope for good results,” he told the aforementioned media.
In this sense, comparisons with Cuba are inevitable: “It is very difficult for people to motivate themselves to do a job – even if it is what they like to do – because of the lack of resources,” he said.
Likewise, he acknowledged that “it is the sad reality of Cuban workers, almost all Cubans,” and specifically mentioned the specificities of his sector.
“Those who have another option leave, those who have no other option continue to “slump down” and disappear; They get old and often they don’t support the institutions, they receive honors, yes (some), but they don’t eat flowers and medals, they don’t repair the house and they don’t buy medicines.”
Cuban actress Yaisely Hernández now works as a receptionist in a clinic for one of the most prestigious companies in Miami specializing in health services. However, his dream remains to act again.
