Influencer's Cuba Trip Sparks Debate: A Cuban's Counter-Narrative

A recent video by a Cuban woman challenges the rosy picture of Cuba painted by popular YouTuber Luisito Comunica. The woman, who remains anonymous, points out the stark contrast between the readily available street food Luisito enjoyed and the daily struggles of ordinary Cubans. She describes long queues for basic necessities like bread and milk, illustrating the scarcity and hardship faced by many. "In Cuba, there's no free market; everything depends on the state, and the state fails every day," she states. The video also shows unsanitary conditions in which milk is delivered to the public, further emphasizing the difficulties. Her personal experiences provide a powerful counterpoint to Luisito's seemingly idyllic portrayal. This video underscores the need for influencers to present a balanced view of the countries they visit and sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by the Cuban people.
