The Cuban content creator @miss_kuba posted on TikTok a video lasting over seven minutes featuring a series of reflections and life advice that have resonated with her followers, particularly among Cuban women living abroad.
The video, labeled "listen, don't let them trip you up", covers topics ranging from personal relationships to money management and the identity of Cuban women abroad.
One of the most impactful messages was her defense of female friendship over romantic relationships. Men come and go. A good friend stays, the creator stated, encouraging her followers to value and nurture their friendships.
Regarding money, @miss_kuba was direct and straightforward. Don’t spend the entire year just to speculate in Cuba, she warned, criticizing those who sacrifice their economic stability abroad to invest in businesses or resales on the island.
The creator also addressed the topic of traveling to Cuba with a deeply emotional perspective. Go to Cuba to see that person who gave you bread, she stated, reminding her followers that the true reason for returning should be the love and gratitude towards those who supported them.
The video garnered thousands of views and sparked a wide-ranging discussion in the comments, where many Cuban women in the diaspora shared their own experiences and expressed their gratitude for the advice from @miss_kuba.
