In light of the recent unrest in the United States following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbury, and so many who came before them, Startup Cuba will be taking part in #TheShowMustBePaused as part of Blackout Tuesday, an initiative led by two black women in the music industry.
As a result, we are postponing Tuesday evening’s event with Chef Louie Estrada. If you’ve registered for this event, your registration will forward to the new date, Tuesday, June 9th at 4pm EST.
It is important that we all take the day to stand with the black community and reflect on the work we can do to amplify the voices and ideas that can lead to a more just society.

El Equipo
Hola todo el mundo. Sometimes our stories are sourced from multiple people on our team. Or, we like to keep you guessing... You know... anonymous. And, for that, soy el escritora; "El Equipo." We exist to amplify the voices of writers, photographers, and content creators in the space between the United States and Cuba, and we also feature stories from Puerto Rico, Latin America, and the Latinx community in the US. Topics of interest are personality-driven and include pop culture and music, featured current events, climate and the environment, and travel and tastemakers. Oh, and of course we're always 100% independent. No governments, businesses or other influencing factors play a role in our work.
