Teresa Padrón, former manager of El Taiger and one of the most prominent voices in the fight for justice following his tragic death, shared an intimate confession that has moved her followers on social media.

Through a post on her Instagram profile, the Cuban businesswoman publicly acknowledged the emotional and physical toll she has experienced over the past year, marked by grief, media pressure, and her unwavering defense of the artist's legacy.

"This year, I forgot about myself," Padrón wrote in a message filled with vulnerability and reflection. "I forgot about my needs, my peace, my mental and physical health. Today I recognize that it's time to look at myself again, to embrace myself, to think of myself with the same dedication I have always given to others."

Far from abandoning her commitment to the causes she supports, Teresa explained that this stage represents an act of self-care and inner reconnection. "It doesn't mean I will stop fighting. It means that now I also choose myself, that I will learn to take care of myself, to respect my limits.”

In recent months, Teresa has been leading public campaigns and legal actions to have the case re-evaluated regarding the murder of the Cuban reggaeton artist José Manuel Carvajal, known as El Taiger, demanding that the only accused face more severe charges.

Her constant activism, the trips to Cuba to support the artist's family, and her media exposure have made Teresa a key figure in El Taiger's circle, but they have also exposed her to public scrutiny and emotional strain.

"To continue being strong on the outside, I must first be strong on the inside," Padrón concluded, reaffirming his decision to prioritize his mental health while remaining committed to the causes he advocates for.

With this message, Teresa not only highlights the importance of self-care but also the silent burden that comes with leading a public fight amid personal pain. Her testimony serves as a reminder that even in the midst of battle, it is also okay to pause, breathe, and return to oneself.
