Our Story
1959 was a very dark time for the Cuban people. It was a time of unimaginable loss where terror reigned. Most Cubans lost everything. The communist regime confiscated homes and businesses. Castro’s revolution campaigned to make everyone equal. He did so by changing the monetary system so that everyone became ‘equal’ and destitute overnight. Those who disagreed with the revolution were either jailed or killed. My parents left everything they had ever known behind to protect us and fled to the USA. We escaped with only the clothes on our backs. Our abrupt departure from our homeland was a matter of survival. I was four years old.
The USA, the land of the free, opened its doors to us and turned our darkness into light. With arduous work, my parents created a good life for us. Recently, I noticed a shift in our nation. Darkness, depression, and violence are taking a grip on our beloved nation, just like they did in Cuba.
I knew I had to do something. It was time to act so the “Be Sparkled” series was born. It’s time to bring God back as the center of our nation. Our kids are under attack. We must guide them to know God’s love and joy. With God at the center of their lives, they will be victorious. It’s time for us to sparkle again and spread His joy and light to future generations throughout our world
