I've become really interested in the American dream and what it means. Being from Cuba, I explore this concept in-depth in my memoir, "Born Again in America". From a young age, my dad filled my head with all kinds of ideas and fantasies about this dream, and they only grew stronger once I arrived in the United States.

I have a vivid memory of my dad promising to build a home that would embody our hopes and aspirations for my mom and me back when we lived in Cuba.

This was just the beginning of my dreams. If you want to learn more about this topic, I highly recommend reading Chapter #2 of my memoir,

"Born Again in America."
