"Stop begging and get to work": Cuban in the U.S. delivers a powerful message
"I pushed forward, I put myself out there, I never asked anyone for a dime."
In a recent viral video, social media personality 'cubanita09' has sparked a heated debate with her impassioned plea for personal responsibility and dignity. Speaking directly from her car, the woman, who identifies as a single mother, criticized individuals who resort to begging for money online, stating, "The one who needs the most is the one who asks the least." The video, uploaded on September 8, 2025, from the United States, quickly garnered thousands of views and hundreds of comments, with many viewers expressing strong agreement with her stance. 'cubanita09' shared her own arduous journey, recounting how she was once homeless with her child but never sought financial assistance from others. "I went out to the streets to look for metals," she explained, "I stripped cables from televisions to sell the metals. I made still life art, I sold jewelry." She further detailed working double shifts and leaving her child alone at home, all to avoid begging. Her message extends to parental responsibility, as she asserted, "If you didn't know how to choose the father of your children, you have to assume that yourself." This direct approach has resonated with many who feel a similar frustration with online begging culture, while also prompting discussions about the complexities of financial hardship and societal support. The video serves as a powerful personal reflection on resilience and self-sufficiency, challenging viewers to consider their own approaches to adversity.
