Yosvany Bello Roque, a Cuban who sold guarapo from a food truck in 2023, has taken a significant step in his life by opening a small restaurant in Hialeah, Florida, along with his family.
Journalist Javier Díaz shared on Facebook the memory of how he met Bello, who gave him a guarapo during their first encounter.
Díaz also mentioned that when he visited the new restaurant, he was surprised to see that he was wearing the same sweater as that first time, and although he couldn't accept the invitation to lunch, he still enjoyed another delicious guarapo.
Despite not having legalized his status in the country yet, the Cuban continues to strive to support his children and his new venture, the journalist noted.
This entrepreneurial Cuban shared with Díaz that his dream of "moving forward" in the United States is to have a food truck line: "we already have three, which means we are doing quite well," he noted.
From his life in Cuba, he recalled that he worked in agriculture until one day he set off for the U.S.: “that opened doors for me and has given me a great opportunity.”
In addition, he stated that the initial years in the United States have been very challenging, especially due to missing family and children a lot. "Eventually, you adapt, and everything goes well."
Bello's story is an inspiring example of how immigrants work diligently to achieve their dreams and make gradual progress.
This is the case of a Cuban couple who emigrated to the United States and set up a small mobile stand selling guarapo in Florida.
A similar story is that of Marleny, a Cuban entrepreneur in Miami, who decided to make a living with a food truck serving delicious tamales throughout the city.
Another Cuban, also an entrepreneur, started a business selling ice cream, a story that served as inspiration.
