Our roots being our beginnings and start to everything
Vanessa being an American born Cuban and the daughter of refugees, who had to flee the island
She talks about losing her strength, and even if you are with someone, how you both can change and drift apart, it does not mean that you are bad people, it just means that you have both just evolved in different ways
Learning about so many different religions, this making Vanessa realize how similar we all are as people
People saying that they are Cuban, but they are not political, because this can be a very instance subject - But that already being a statement within itself. Everything is political whether we like it or not, by the decisions that we make
Wanting to hear the roots of people’s stories, but also learning that exchanging each other stories can actually make you both learn from each other and embrace each other’s cultures
Learning that your silence is just as powerful as your words
We talk about her book, grandfather and the meaning behind her book "What The Bread Says" and so much more.
{Thank You So much, Vanessa, for your words being so powerful and embracing a nation}
