@ashleytheebarroness: The confidence required to look at Celia Cruz and decide she wasn’t marketable should be studied. #celiacruz #salsa #afrolatina #historytok #fyp
Thank you for using your platform to share stories about black women in Latin America. Please, look up the story of another great one: Elsa Soares from Brazil.

She always dreamed to return to a FREE Cuba.. When she got sick, she recorded a song called “Por si acaso no regreso”.. (Just in case I dont return).. It is one of the saddest songs she ever sang. Thank You for sharing Ashley. AZUCAR!!!! 🩷🩷🩷

Celia was a queen! Her documentary is so good. It’s sad that racism is so universal. But SHE MADE MOVES and made waves that that not everyone could swim in!!

Something that puts a thorn in my heart is knowing that even after her music was banned in Cuba, Celia never stopped loving her Cuba. When she performed at Guantánamo in 90's, she picked up a small amount of Cuban soil and asked to be buried with it someday. That's how deep her love for Cuba ran. A true legend. 💙
