It is a narrative frequently fragmented by systemic censorship, social stigma, and marginalization. On a personal level, it is often tucked away in the privacy of hidden affections, fractured family ties, and the heavy burden of unshared experiences.

Frequent and severe power outages, including a total blackout this week, along with shortages of food, water, and medicine, and increased political repression, have forced many Cubans to seek a future beyond national borders.
