Life does not always smile at those who decide to emigrate; for many, the challenges continue after leaving Cuba, but that does not mean that the desire to fight and move forward fades away.
Through her TikTok account, Daiana Díaz, a Cuban worker, reflects on the obstacles that many emigrants face during their first years in the United States and responds to those who tell her that the solution lies in starting her own company.
"How can one start a company with almost two years in Orlando, Florida, earning the minimum, and how do you save money, what do you do if you don’t have a document for a year and a half? That’s why I say not everyone has the same luck, and sometimes we cannot comment because each person's destiny is different," he says in one of his videos on this social media.
Daiana added that experiences tend to be diverse when there are children to support or sick parents in Cuba to assist, the latter being a tangible reality for many Cubans who leave their loved ones behind.
"With a minimum wage, you pay what you have to pay in this country, which is everything, because this country is like this, it's a barbaric consumerism, and you have nothing left," assured the woman who acknowledges, however, that studying English can make a big difference when it comes to job searching.
"Not everyone can do well because everyone is different," and although he points out that not everyone can create their own company in the United States, he acknowledges that it is not impossible: "Everyone wants to have their own business, which is not easy."
Several of his followers agreed with his words, but most recommend that he keep working because the first years are the hardest but in the end, the fruits are seen.
