A Cuban resident in the United States has touched her followers on social media after sharing her experience in a TikTok video, in which she recounts how she couldn't enjoy her breakfast after speaking with her mother in Cuba, who was facing difficulties due to a blackout lasting more than 20 hours.
In the video, the young woman, known on TikTok as @thaly47216, starts by describing her morning routine: "I'm in the morning preparing my breakfast. And I always call my mom in the mornings and ask her, tell me how everything is." However, the conversation with her mother that morning left her deeply affected.
Her mother, from Cuba, explained to her that she had only been able to have yogurt for breakfast because private bakeries couldn't make bread due to the lack of electricity. After hearing this, the Cuban in the U.S. confessed that she lost her appetite just imagining her mother's difficult situation. "Do you think I could eat my bread? Do you think I was able to get my bread? I couldn't," she expressed, visibly upset.
This account reflects the harsh reality that many Cuban families face daily due to continuous power outages, which affect not only daily life but also the food supply and well-being of the population. Meanwhile, relatives abroad live with the anguish of knowing that their loved ones on the island are experiencing hardship.
The video has generated a wave of comments and support on TikTok, where many Cubans shared similar experiences and expressed their frustration over the critical situation facing the island.
"How sad everything is, I can't eat either thinking about my family," "It's not easy, I understand you perfectly," "I even feel like crying, we left Cuba to be free and we are still imprisoned because we suffer from what our family, neighbors, and friends are going through," they have commented on the Cuban's post.
