A young Cuban woman, just 21 years old and residing in the United States, has gone viral on TikTok after sharing an emotional message of gratitude and personal overcoming.

In the video posted by user @yadenismedina, the young woman showcases her car while expressing her pride in what she has achieved in just three years of living in the North American country.

"Three years in this great country and thanks to God, my two houses in Cuba, my car, and my family are living as they deserve," he wrote about the images.

The clip, which has already garnered thousands of views, reflects the effort of a Cuban who emigrated at a young age and succeeded far from the island. With an encouraging tone, it sends a message to other compatriots:

"Let's aim for more goals, achievements, and dreams. We are here borrowing; make sure to take care of your things."

Her testimony has sparked a wave of reactions among Cubans both on the island and abroad, many of whom congratulate her for her perseverance and view her as an example of what can be achieved through hard work and determination.

The story of this young emigrant adds to that of thousands of Cubans who, from exile, seek to build a better life and provide stability for their families in Cuba amid the deep economic crisis the country is experiencing.
