The Cuban model and influencer Nagdaly Wong, known for having been in a relationship with reggaeton artist Bebeshito, moved thousands of followers by sharing for the first time a video of her migratory journey to the United States, a trip she undertook entirely alone and which, she confessed, changed her life forever.
“I kept this video for two years because I didn't know how to watch it without breaking down”, wrote the young woman alongside the images. “Today I share it to remember where I come from and everything I survived. Leaving alone, leaving everything behind, was a very tough test spiritually, humanly, and emotionally”, she expressed with a honesty that touched the hearts of many.
In the video, Nagdaly is seen in the rain, surrounded by nature, sleeping in various spots, crossing dirt paths, or finding food along the way. The images portray, with both rawness and hope, the journey that thousands of Cubans have taken in search of a better future.
"All Cubans are far from home, missing our family and our land, but we are grateful to this great country that welcomed us when we needed it most," added the model, who concluded her post with a message of love and gratitude to her mother: "Infinite health to the warrior who gave me life."
One year after her arrival in the United States, Nagdaly experienced her most awaited moment: the reunion with her daughter. In a post she shared in mid-2024, the model displayed the emotional embrace at Miami airport along with a message that moved many: “Arriving here alone was very hard, but today I complete the greatest of my happiness. After almost a year without seeing you, I finally have you.” She also reminisced about that moment after sharing how she experienced her journey.
Today, based in Miami, Bebeshito's ex continues to grow as a model and influencer, inspiring many with her story of strength and faith. "My greatest crown is not on a runway, but in having survived," she wrote. A phrase that, like her story, reflects the strength of those who left alone, but never stopped dreaming.
