Influencer Amanda Camaraza: "It's incredible how among Cubans we say such ugly things to each other while receiving support from abroad."

The Cuban influencer Amanda Camaraza ignited her social networks with a reflection that resonated within the diaspora community: the contrast between the criticism she receives from her fellow countrymen and the support that comes from abroad.

It all began when Amanda reposted a criticism from a user who downplayed the progress of her venture, arguing that her success was solely due to the luck of a viral video and that without that exposure, her oil—her own product—would be unknown to anyone.

Amanda's response was direct and straightforward: "It's interesting how for some everything boils down to 'luck' when they see someone succeed. A video can open a door, but staying relevant, growing, and building something real requires discipline, hard work, and a mindset that not everyone possesses."

The influencer went further and pointed out a pattern that many Cubans in the diaspora recognize: "It's very common to see how some prefer to criticize rather than be inspired, especially when they see another Cuban thriving. But well, everyone reflects what they carry inside."

And she concluded with a phrase that left little room for doubt: "I remain focused on my own journey, growing, working, and achieving… while others continue to comment from the same place."

But the matter didn't end there; in another story, she shared messages of support, one of them from the Puerto Rican singer Jay Wheeler, known for hits such as "La Curiosidad" alongside Myke Towers. He commented on one of her Instagram stories with an enthusiastic "You crushed it! Congratulations! God bless...!"—a gesture that Amanda took a moment to reflect on aloud.

"Incredible how among Cubans we often say such hurtful things to each other, yet we receive support from abroad, from where we least expect it," wrote the content creator, accompanied by a meme of a crying white cat that perfectly captured the bittersweet tone of the moment.

"I am always grateful to all those who show me their love. But it would be so wonderful if we supported each other more and didn't judge others' efforts so much," she added.

The debate about the lack of solidarity within the Cuban community abroad is not new, and many question whether it is the Cuban themselves who are the most aggressive towards their fellow countrymen.
