The Cuban singer Seidy La Niña raised her voice firmly after receiving a homophobic comment on one of her posts, in which she recalled the traffic accident that nearly cost her life eleven years ago.
“God gave you another chance, but it wasn't to go around making tortillas,” wrote a user, disparagingly, after Seidy posted a video of herself enjoying time in a pool with another woman.
Far from staying silent, the artist shared a video in which she responded with authenticity and courage: “Sometimes I wonder if the people who have the internet, if the people who are involved here on social media, have a perfect life, if they never make mistakes, if they don't live,” she began by saying.
Seidy recalled how her perspective on life changed after surviving the accident: “Before the accident, I had many taboos, I worried a lot about what others would say, thinking ‘oh, I can't do this because they'll criticize me.’ After the accident, many things changed within me. The first thing God gave me was the freedom to understand that not everyone is going to love me and that not everyone will agree with what I do.”
Conscious of others' judgment but determined to live fully, she declared: “I want to make mistakes, I want to fall, I want to get back up, I want to be afraid to try new things and do them. And maybe it won't go well for me, but that's okay: I did it. Life can end in an instant, and I don't want to die with something like that in my heart, something new to try. I prefer to fail than to die with unfulfilled desires.”
This response comes in the midst of the promotion of her new song "Alcohol y papaya," for which she also stars in the music video alongside another woman, an audiovisual piece that has once again sparked debate on the artist's social media.
