Cuban defends her fellow countrymen in the USA: "It's easy to judge the Cuban for their chains and living in an efficiency."

Lisandra Morales, a Cuban in the United States, sent an emotional message full of reflection to her followers on TikTok (where she is identified as @lisandra_morales). In the video she posted on the social network, she talked about what it means to be Cuban abroad and how many people judge them without fully knowing the circumstances they have faced for being born in Cuba.

“The first part is for those who are not Cuban and the second is for my compatriots.” During the first part of the video, he mentions that many criticize Cubans for wearing gold chains, for buying luxury cars while living in "efficiencies," or for having managed to bring their entire family from Cuba without having economic resources.

"Do you know what is not easy? Being born in a land that you did not choose to be born in, and when you were born, basic needs were not met for you," says the Cuban, recalling the difficult conditions in which many of her compatriots grew up: the lack of food, water, electricity, and in many cases, even a decent roof over their heads.

For her, the attitude of Cubans arriving in the United States is a reflection of their need to show that they have succeeded in getting ahead, even though appearances do not always tell the whole story. "Before judging, try to see the person in front of you first; they are just as human as you. They have as much pain and emptiness as you do, regardless of what their chains may say," she expresses in the video.

It also highlights the resilient and cheerful character of the Cuban, who despite difficulties, "is laughter, is dancing, music, is the one who laughs at his own problems." It recalls how, even in the middle of blackouts, without water or food, Cubans find a way to celebrate and dance in the streets. "It's called a defense mechanism," he explains, adding that Cubans have gone through difficult situations that many struggle to understand.

In the second part of her message, directed at Cubans, the young woman calls for solidarity. She reminds them that they are no longer in Cuba and that in the United States "there is enough for everyone." Urging her fellow compatriots to be more generous and to set aside competition, she comments: “Give light to others. You can make a difference. Make a difference.”

Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of sharing opportunities with other Cubans who are looking to forge their own paths. “Open the door for them, tell them where the job you found is, who the boss is, and what the phone number is. It's called brotherhood, and many of us lack it,” he concludes with a tone of hope and unity.

This message has gone viral, generating thousands of reactions and comments from Cubans both on the island and in exile, who identify with the words of Lisandra Morales.
