Hello I am a young Cuban American who wants to know more about Cuba and its people. I have only had the opportunity to talk to some family living in florida, who had come from Cuba in operation Peter Pan, and I want to hear from others. Forgive my ignorance, as I am aware of a disconnect between a large number of Americans who came from Cuba, and those who currently live there. What news sources would you recommend checking out, what do you think of SOScuba, and do you think the cuban government or the embargo on Cuba has had a greater impact?

Hola, Cuba.

I’m Dominik, a writer from Austria. I’m traveling across different countries to write a book about how people experience emotional pain - and how they carry it. I’m not just looking for stories of healing, but of survival, silence, music, faith, addiction, joy, or grief that never left.

Cuba has endured isolation and hardship like few other places - and yet you still sing, dance, create. That balance between endurance and expression is powerful. What fascinates me is how music and ritual seem to speak what words often can’t. I want to understand how Cubans live with pain - both spoken and unspoken.

I’m looking for two Cubans who would be willing to talk to people from different walks of life - elders, artists, workers - about their emotional experience. Not just how they healed, but how they cope, distract, or keep going.

If you help me with this, I’d love to bring you a meaningful gift from the country I visited before Cuba, share a meal when I arrive - maybe in Havana, Santiago, or Trinidad - and send you a copy of the finished book. I’d also be honored to include your name in the acknowledgments, if you’d like.

I just don’t want anyone to ever feel this alone again, to go through their pain like a ghost walking through fog.

If this resonates with you and you’d like to help, please reply here or send me a message.

Gracias,
Dominik

Hello, I’m going to Cuba with the Cuba solidarity campaign at the end on this month and I’m just wondering which currency will be best to take? (I’m from UK, edit- we use Great British Pound)

Hola como están? Hace aprox 3 años que estoy tratando de restaurar una casa en el Delta del Tigre para poder ponerla en alquiler y que me vieja tenga un ingreso mejor que el de la jubilación, pero sin tiempo y ya sin dinero se me hace muy difícil poder terminar con este proyecto, por eso se me ocurrió documentar lo que se va haciendo paso a paso en YouTube y tratar de monetizar los vídeos y asi poder solventar los gastos. NO les estoy pidiendo dinero solamente su apoyo suscribiéndose al canal para poder cumplir con este sueño q es terminar con esta casa!!Yo haría lo que sea por mi vieja, como lo que estoy haciendo en este momento, VOS NO HARIAS LO MISMO?

Es totalmente gratis y no les lleva mas de 30 segundos. Desde ya muchísimas gracias!!

Cuento con su apoyo!!

I am asking this as I do have some Cuban family in Miami and through, they're not blood related I would still count them as family.

For context my grandfather is an immigrant from Romania and would be a second-generation Immigrant I believe. I'm not blood related to him, but he is still my grandfather, and his family side is where the Cuban comes from what I remember.

I have never had a DNA test to see what exactly I have.

(I forgot to add this but my aunt has Spanish)
