A Cuban who publishes on TikTok under the name «La narra team camella» released a powerful message of empowerment this week aimed at women who suffer humiliation and psychological abuse in their relationships, and her call resonated strongly with thousands of followers.
The video posted on TikTok on Wednesday, labeled as "Couples Therapy," lasts one minute and 27 seconds and begins with a straightforward phrase: "Don't let your husband humiliate you, conquer the world that is yours, my queen. This is advice from someone who has experienced humiliation and psychological abuse."
The creator explained that the video was born out of a specific situation: during a group call with her community of women, she listened in real time as one participant was humiliated by her husband.
Her reaction was immediate. "Throw him out, camella, throw him out, shameless narcissist," she yelled at the woman during the call, before recording the message to share it with all her followers.
From personal experience, the Cuban woman resorted to animal metaphors to convey a message of strength: "Here, the big fish eat the little fish, and I've had to become a shark. You have to do it too."
Its central argument was female autonomy: "Take off the blindfold you have over your eyes. If you can't move forward with him, look, you can do it with him and without him."
The creator leads a community of women on social media focused on entrepreneurship and personal development, and in the video, she called on that network as a support system: "We are a community of women, and we need to give it our all, start our projects, and put in the effort, my queen."
He closed with an image that encapsulates his philosophy: "Become a lioness, for everyone wants you to be small."
The phenomenon is not isolated. In March of this year, another Cuban resident in Italy also went viral denouncing men who use immigration status as a tool of control over their partners. "That man is not your partner; that man is your jailer," she stated at that time.
Both videos are part of a sustained trend on TikTok where Cuban women—both on the island and in the diaspora—use the platform to highlight psychological abuse and build mutual support networks, filling a gap that institutions do not adequately address.
The regional context gives weight to these messages: the Pan American Health Organization states that one in four women in Latin America aged 15 to 49 has experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner at least once in her life, and psychological violence—which includes humiliation, control, and manipulation—is even more prevalent.
The World Health Organization warned in November 2025 that the progress in reducing this violence is minimal, only 0.2% per year over two decades, making messages like “La narra team camella” a culturally relevant phenomenon that thousands of women receive as support that they rarely find elsewhere.
