The Cuban people have an amazingly strong and unbroken spirit.

I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.

Cuban Americans have little in common with immigrants from Mexico and Central America, and often their priorities don't align. If it seems like Cuban Americans don't have to play by the same rules as everyone else, that's probably because they don't.

I definitely will reach out to Cuban in the near future for advice going forward. Now that I'll be on the business side of things - and he's had a lot of success with that - that would be a guy to go to.

The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore.

To our brothers in Latin America and the world, we must convey that the Cuban people will overcome.

I am Cuban, my parents are Cuban, and I was not adopted.

I'm from a Cuban family, so we're used to talking really loud. You come to a Cuban restaurant anywhere in Miami, and we're practically screaming at each other.

You're going to tell me that things aren't right in Cuba, and so we shouldn't engage. It's lunacy. Look outside your door and see the inhumanity of Americans... that we perpetrate on a daily basis in our lives... and then tell me that you're going to isolate Cuba as an example. I'm sorry; that's unacceptable.

I might be a Cuban American, but I'm also an Afro-Cuban American.
