What’s Next for Cuba? A Cuban Explains What You Need to Know

I was born in Cuba and lived there until I was nineteen years old.

In this video I reflect on what concepts like international law mean to people who actually live under a dictatorship. Much of the global conversation about Cuba happens in academic, legal, or political circles far removed from the lived experience of the Cuban people.

For those who grow up under a system where basic rights are routinely violated, international law can often feel distant, abstract, and powerless.

This is a personal reflection on that reality—and on what might come next for Cuba.
