Cuban in the U.S. shares her entrepreneurship story from the island: "I started working when I was 14 years old."

Marlan Vázquez, the young Cuban known as @marlan_estudio on TikTok, shared a video recounting her life experience of starting to work at the age of 14 in Cuba.

In the video, recorded while driving, he recounted how, after his parents' separation and the lack of financial support from his father, he decided to use the money intended for his 15th birthday party to buy a nail table and start his own business.

Despite her mother's disbelief, she continued working to escape misery. She started doing nails from her boyfriend's living room, and over time she diversified her venture by selling second-hand clothes to increase her income. "I've never regretted what I've done," she said, highlighting that she has always achieved her goals on her own, "bleeding" and without asking anything from anyone.

The video has generated a wave of reactions among its followers, many of whom applauded her strength, sacrifice, and maturity in forging her own destiny or shared personal experiences: "Those are tests that thanks to that you are independent"; "You are a warrior and fighter, that’s why life has rewarded you"; "I used to do my nails and sell clothes in Cuba to buy little clothes, struggling to get ahead on my own"; "The pain is evident in your eyes, but you are strong"; "My story is so similar to yours, blessings"; "What an interesting story, I identified with you," some said.

"I congratulate you, you are a warrior and a fighter, that's why life has rewarded you"; "Your story helped me a lot in a difficult time in my life"; "You are worthy of admiration, keep growing"; "From adversities we become strong, blessings"; "You are an example of overcoming"; "Keep fighting, life will reward you"; "You will go very far with so much effort and sacrifice"; "You are a great example for other women," others added.

This video adds to the series of stories that Marlan has shared on social media about his journey from the tough beginnings in Cuba to becoming a resident of the United States, an achievement he celebrated with great emotion in another viral video.

Its story continues to inspire thousands of followers, who see her as an example of struggle and personal growth.
