Polvo de hadas–“Fairy dust,” Santiago de Cuba, 2013 Photo: Alain Gutierrez

For October we chose this photo by photographerAlain Gutierrez because of our love of street photography in Cuba. On the calle Enramadas in Santiago de Cuba, a group of girls buy pizza for lunch. The vendor jokes with them, spilling salt. “Cubans don’t like being salty! So Solavaya!”

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.
