MISSION:
I’m a Cuban-American living in New York. Battling 2 extremes. Miami and
Cuba. I don’t believe that the way to liberate Cuba is through isolation. Some of
the things I say piss off Cuban-Americans. Some of the things I say piss off
Cubans on the island too. I don’t take sides.

I’m only trying to machete through all the propaganda from both sides and
come to my own truth for you (the reader) and for me (as a Cuban-American).

I believe every human has the right to free health care, a decent roof over their head, a good education, the freedom to leave their own country, the right to protest and free assembly, the right to vote, and freedom of internet.

Word On The Street is about burying the hatchet between Cuban-Americans
and Cubans on the island. It’s about restoring relations. Our differences are not geographical. Our differences are generational. We represent The New Cubans.

EAST OF HAVANA:
Somewhere east of Havana, 30 minutes outside the bustling capital, is Alamar — an outer borough overlooked by tourists. After the fall of the Berlin wall, young Cubans gathered on the streets of Alamar, and began to use their poetry for social change. Inspired by 90’s Public Enemy era, young Cubans eventually adopted the art form to discuss/debate/share their personal neighborhood stories through music. This trend spread like wildfire throughout the nation. The youth are talking now.

It is our job to listen.

Stay tuned….
