Today, she receives millions of visitors per month. Reporting on her daily life in Cuba and harshly criticizing socialism, Yoani gained fame and international awards. Some say she is a CIA agent, while others believe she fights for freedom of expression. For the first time since the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and thanks to the migration reform of 2013, Cubans have the opportunity to travel abroad and come back without the government’s permission. Yoani was one of the first to make such a trip. Her tour started in Brazil, where she met politicians, activists, students, and the press. Collection: Language Resource Center
