Most heroes don’t change history directly. They change the people who do.
POTUS Kennedy didn’t become stronger because President Eisenhower solved a problem. He became stronger because someone he respected refused to reduce him to his worst day. That’s heroism without a spotlight. No medals. No monuments.
Just a human hand on a shoulder saying: Stand back up.

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.

Criminal charlatans deceive to gain power, money, and fame. They are opportunistic and have secret plans with skills they lack.

Ever since the Habanero from Santiago, Desiderio Alberto Arnaz III left, our countrymen’s dream has been to return to a free and Democratic Cuba. Our Paradise Island. 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.
