Cuban model Lisandra Silva spoke on an Economina podcast about the cruel messages she received after revealing her son Noah following his birth. It was a difficult moment that the entrepreneur reflected on to address the criticism surrounding people's appearances, whether they are adults or children.
After introducing her son Noah on Instagram, the child of her relationship with Raúl Peralta, the Cuban faced unpleasant comments regarding the boy's appearance. In response, the former reality star addressed the criticism by replying to those who sent her such messages. Years later, she reflected on this experience and shared how she navigated that period of her life.
"There's nothing wrong with your child. You see everything perfectly and then you show it, because you want your followers, the people who have seen you for nine months with a belly this big, to finally meet the greatest treasure of your life. And seeing such comments that are completely out of this world leaves you bewildered. I felt a sense of sadness for the people from whom these comments came," Lisandra Silva began expressing.
"They are people who are asleep, who see no more than what a human being is—a beautiful little thing, an innocent creature of God. How can you express such an opinion? Commenting on the physical appearance of a person, especially a child, is extremely delicate. They need to think beyond that; this person has a soul, feelings, and is going through millions of things you are unaware of," she added.
"What you think about that person reflects your own feelings, what you hold in your mind, and what you carry in your heart. So, when you have a thought or an opinion about someone, take a moment to reflect on why you think that way."
"If you don't have anything good to say, it's better not to say anything at all," concluded Noah and Leiah's mother.
In response to his words, some applauded his reflection, while others questioned the portrayal of minors on social media.
