Cuba Rises Resilient from the Ashes of the Blackout

¡Hola, mi gente! The vibrant island of Cuba is slowly but surely bouncing back from an unprecedented blackout that swept across its streets and homes, leaving millions in the dark. However, as the sun rises on a new day, so too does the spirit of resilience within our communities.

The massive power outage was a wake-up call for many. In true Cuban fashion, we say, “a ponerse las pilas!” It’s time to roll up our sleeves and unite. Communities are coming together—neighbors sharing generators, families pooling resources, and local businesses opening their doors to offer respite and support. This is what it means to be Cuban: finding light even when it feels like there’s none.

As we navigate the aftermath of this challenge, stories of fortitude and determination are emerging. From grassroots movements working tirelessly to restore power to those whose lives have been disrupted, to individuals stepping up as leaders within their neighborhoods, the power of collective action shines through.
