The activist Diasniurka Salcedo Verdecia, who left Cuba due to harassment from the regime, shared a personal achievement on social media this Wednesday: she has resumed her career as a hairstylist in Miami, stating that her people from "Patria y Vida" would receive a discount.
"The 'Homeland and Life' crew with a discount percentage, I'm serious!" Salcedo emphasized on Facebook, a social network where for several years she has highlighted the abuses committed by the dictatorship against the citizens and against herself.
“You're in Miami, and you want to get your hair done, just message me, and we'll schedule it,” noted the activist who worked as a hairdresser in Cuba, a profession she is passionate about and has recently resumed in the United States.
"I became a hairdresser because the regime wouldn't let me work in my field of study due to my differing views. I started out in a pigsty, which I transformed into a modest hair salon. Now, looking at where I am, studying in this great country that is giving me the opportunity to live, be happy, and free," was an emotional message posted by the activist who has helped many Cubans.
"Where there is a will, there is a way!" was another message that Salcedo recently shared on social media, encapsulating his life over the past few months in just a few words. After successfully leaving Cuba, he faced a challenging journey to reach the United States with his family.
Recently, another Cuban activist demonstrated how he is achieving his dreams after escaping the Cuban regime.
Pedro López shared on social media this Tuesday that he has started working as a lathe operator in Germany, a profession he practiced in the Caribbean nation before being forced to emigrate to escape persecution and harassment from the regime.
"Once again in what I'm passionate about, thank you Germany," the Cuban wrote on Facebook, a relative of political prisoner Andy García Lorenzo, who was detained during the 11J protests. In 2023, he sold his turning workshop in Santa Clara to flee the regime's persecution alongside his family.
