Wow !!! Talk about traumatizing. Keep telling your stories. Flor. Doing so is not only producing excellent content, but may also be very therapeutic for you as well. Stay strong.😘😘❤️🇨🇺🇯🇲
Flo thanks for sharing with us. I visited Cuba in 1976 to represent Jamaica in the 18th Caribbean Table Tennis Competition and was beaten in the semifinals by Rawl Betancourt who won the Gold for the Boys under 17 champion. Internationally, it was a politically charged era but we totally enjoyed our stay in a hotel in Havana. As a young man it was an unforgettable experience. We love our Cuban brothers and sisters. Wishing you the very best for you have given us a slice of real life in our sister island. Bless you.😊
I love your content, my grandfather is Cuban from Jamaican parentage who lived in Cuba and later moved back and resided in Jamaica so, I always loved to hear about life in Cuba.
Big up sis. I’m Cuban and Jamaican too, you have a lot of your people there in JA but some of them don’t know the heritage. Try keeping safe and nuh badda mix and mingle too much.
I love your content. Your accent is very pretty. I am first generation American. My parents are Jamaican. I love Jamaica, it’s very much my culture. Plenty of my family left Cuba and went to Jamaica. I have family just like you. ❤
Please continue to share your stories and opinions…you have a gift! we appreciate your perspective and narrative skills. Don’t watch “waste-people”….a suh dem tan!
Flor, thank you for sharing your story. Me encanta tu contenido❤️ I’ve had the privilege of visiting Cuba twice before and trust me it is a CULTURE SHOCK. As a Jamaican growing up I heard stories of Cuba and thought they were exaggerations until I saw how dire the situation is for myself. Many things that we take for granted in Jamaica 🇯🇲 here would be luxuries over there in Cuba 🇨🇺 !
Wow what a story and I love Jamaica so much I come back-and-forth there throughout the years and you look way younger than 41 wow so you look beautiful gonna subscribe to your channel
Many countries are headed to this loss of freedom if certain extreme left leaning Marxists are allowed to rule. My aunt had to run from Cuba during the revolution. The situation traumatized my family for generations. She hid her wedding ring under her tongue. You think it is bad now try living under a socialist, communist government. Jamaicans work hard and try to appreciate what you have. You have a treasure on earth. Cut down on the complaining, help your brother and sister and praise God! Not everyone who says they are fighting for your rights is truly doing that. The people of Cuba are restricted while the Castros lived in a palace. Why didnt they live among the people if all should be equal? Communism and socialism are scams to tear your rights away and a vehicle to set up dictatorships. Thank you @Florkubana for sharing.
@@kastro1821so what.!!!capitalism is not much better. They lend $5.00 and in return they want 15,00.Now that is how those country improve their standard of living. Our population is just below three million. Take away the elderly, children and the disabled and Please tell me how much revenues you think that Jamaica and the rest of developing countries can really make to live and care for their people.we do not have the equipments most of the time that is required to build like the first world countries. That is why we have to accepted help to build the kind of country that you all want like America ,Canada and the list goes on. One more they didn't achieve their wealth in sixty years. Think on these things before you all make naive comments. History of those countries is on UA-cam and Google spent a little time then you will learn how corrupted those countries were while they were building their country .we are forced to develop to their standards and we are doing it without free labour or labor or stolen properties. We should be commended instead of being criticized by our own people. Thank God my mother is living a much better life than her grandparents and her mother had while they were alive and living in Jamaica.I am quite sure that she is not the only one who will attest to that. 🤔🤔🤔🇯🇲
Jamaica is currently ranked 24 and the USA 55 in freedom of press and freedom of speech. Interestingly up to 2021 jamaica was ranked at the 7 of the most freest country in the world and the US 26.
Thanks so much for sharing this statistics I was not comparing Jamaica to anywhere else and the reason why I said what I said it was based on my experience on the DMs I have received after expressing myself on social media, statistics will say something but in reality, the reaction of the people in the place where you are is different. To give you an example I made a video talking about the fact that a child in Jamaica had died because of the lack of ventilator at the hospital and I receive so many DM‘s threatening me that I fear for my life although I was not even in Jamaica at the time And this was coming mainly f from a particular political party , but I did not compare Jamaica to the United States
I visited Cuba in 1999 and met many locals and visited the schools etc. after arriving home they stamped my passport that I landed. I had so many issues with that. I had to prove that I went as a student and I had to present the boarding pass to the US embassy.
A lot of people who think they have a lot of friends actually don't. At least you know who you are and I'm sure you'll find the right friends organically...
@@Florkubana You better be kidding me, Cliff Hughes is the CEO and top radio host of Nationwide Radio in Ja. He aired your video last week during his program on UA-cam
@@lawrencedavidson6195I am absolutely sure you have never been to Tivoli and I have and there is no comparison to what this lady is talking about living in a society such what she has described. We Jamaicans who grew up in Jamaica almost had to go that route as the PNP government was hell bent in making jamaica another Cuba. The PNP wanted to make Jamaica one parry state with Marxist lennist as it's manifesto. We have people like Trevor Munroe who today is hiding his true color and was part of this process to make Jamaica a communist state. When I was in high school my Spanish teacher was a Cuban who came to jamaica and became a citizen after the 1959 revolution and it was the best decision that he had ever made. RIP Mr Machado as he taught me alot about life in Cuba.
@@Wes20231 I was referring to the trauma of the children after the "Tivoli incursion" where dead bodies were left in the road and children were stepping over them on their way to school. Do you remember that?
Rastas have been beaten for decades for wearing African and Ethiopian colors. And dat's dih least of InI traumatization. Using InI image as target practice?
Wow !!!

I WATCHED YOU EVERY DAY AN EVERY NIGHT YOU ARE NEW TELEVISION 📺💗🇯🇲🙏✅
I enjoy your stories

So do you know of many Cubans who became citizens of Jamaica?
Jamaica is currently ranked 24 and the USA 55 in freedom of press and freedom of speech.
Interestingly up to 2021 jamaica was ranked at the 7 of the most freest country in the world and the US 26.

Girl , you are like a TV....watch u all the time , very , very interesting
Keep being yourself don't stop
Thank you my friend. Mucho Love
Cuba is just 90 miles from Jamaica. But we know very little about Cuba, especially the day to day happenings.
Cuba got the most beautiful females on planet Earth
My husband agrees lol
My dear problems dey in any country. Never forget where you came from.
Indeed, Agreed with you 100%
I visited Cuba in 1999 and met many locals and visited the schools etc. after arriving home they stamped my passport that I landed. I had so many issues with that. I had to prove that I went as a student and I had to present the boarding pass to the US embassy.
A lot of people who think they have a lot of friends actually don't. At least you know who you are and I'm sure you'll find the right friends organically...
Cliff Hughes sent me here to take note of life in Ja vs Cuba
who? lol
@@Florkubana You better be kidding me, Cliff Hughes is the CEO and top radio host of Nationwide Radio in Ja. He aired your video last week during his program on UA-cam
@@FlorkubanaHe is a popular journalist
How did you end up in jamaica?
Story time loading
Share your stories, you are living in a free country. Plus! your stories are interesting.
Thank you so so much for the encouragement, it means a lot
Here in Jamaica when I was a child I used to hear a lot of things about Cuba ,but any way you're so pretty you could become miss Cuba 🎉😂😂
Thank you so much, but do you know that Cuba does not participate on any miss World or miss universe events
Growing up in Jamaica traumatized me
I can imagine
Cuba is definitely different. Americans take so much for granted on freedom of speech alone (and no, I’m not diminishing the sh*t here)
Indeed, I have many stories of my life in Cuba on my TikTok I will share them here
I am happy you unknowingly escaped , but Jamaica is also very much filled with trauma that will give you a different type of PTSD .
Speak for yourself. PSTD!! Lol.
Especially children in them inner cities like Tivoli..
@@lawrencedavidson6195I am absolutely sure you have never been to Tivoli and I have and there is no comparison to what this lady is talking about living in a society such what she has described.

Imagine how bad your home country is to think Jamaica is a step up.
It’s a BIG step up.
😂 Jamaica has everything you find in first world countries people just highlight poverty and crime for UA-cam views
Hater!
Rastas have been beaten for decades for wearing African and Ethiopian colors. And dat's dih least of InI traumatization. Using InI image as target practice?
Now that you mention it
Wait freedom of speech is not real in Jamaica?
Based on my experience no
Ur lying abt ur age!
I wish lol
Omg WTF 😂 they’re so dumb abt the America flag thing😂
the were on edge to say the least lol
