A young Cuban woman living on the island has gone viral on TikTok after posting a powerful video in which she makes it clear that her presence on the platform is not intended to find a partner or seek financial assistance. The message, aimed at her followers and those sending her romantic proposals, has sparked a wave of reactions on social media.
“Gentlemen, I want to make one thing clear,” she begins in her video. “The fact that I have TikTok in Cuba and use it in various ways, the fact that I socialize here does not mean that I am looking for a man, a husband, or anyone to send me money.”
The young woman, identified on social media as @izzys33, was straightforward in expressing her frustration with being asked for her phone number. “I have been offered it here, and I have said no. What TikTok offers me is more than enough,” she stated.
The video, which has received thousands of views and comments, features the young woman defending her independence and clarifying that her interactions on TikTok are purely social and personal. "Don't ask me for my phone anymore," she concludes emphatically.
The publication has generated divided opinions among those who support its stance and appreciate its sincerity, and those who believe the message could have been conveyed in a less direct tone. However, for many, the message reflects the reality of many Cuban women who confront these types of dynamics on social media.
The video has sparked comments such as: “I support you 100%, everyone decides how to use their social media” and “So brave! Not everyone has the courage to say things as they are.” Others, however, criticize his attitude, suggesting that a public platform will always be open to this type of interaction.
