In February 2017, I went to Havana for 5 days and I had an amazing time. During my trip, I met a boxing trainer (Afro-Cuban) where I dontated boxing equipment and school supplies. In return, he graciously showed me around Havana for my entire trip giving me a true Afro-Cuban experience. Learning the history and contributions of Afro Cubans but I dont want to ignore what i learned from Afro-Cuban Elders shared the
mistreatment, racism, ongoing prejudice, discrimination, whitening of the country, and why alot of afro Cubans favored Fidel Castro.
One of my best trips ever and he gave me some real history on Cuba as well as life as an Afro-Cuban.
