Two Cuban-American senators have built their brands on exile, but lost touch with the soul of their own culture.
Rubio and Cruz’s version of Cuban identity is political theater. The real Cubano is far more generous.
I knew Celia Cruz, but not as well as my mom and aunt. Celia was a Cuban singer, born 100 years ago in October 1925, in Habana, and is known as the "Queen of Salsa." I dedicate this to her living spirit. My late aunt introduced me to the song posted below.

When I became an American citizen, I chose No Political Affiliation. Despite this, I was recruited by Republican POTUS George HW Bush to lead TV Marti News as G-15/10 at USIA.

Roomie: “Damn the Dodgers.!!! We supported them through all the bad years. And then they finally win the World Series and they pack up and move to California. The hell with them and their progeny!!!”
