Cuban Heritage and Identity: A Journey Back to Havana
Imagine being the first person in your family to head back to your home country in over 60 years. The first to experience the culture and set aside everything you've heard for an an immersive experience, a chance to create memories and form your own opinions.
Growing up as a Cuban-American-Canadian, Lisette Alvarez's journey to Havana, Cuba was like opening a door to the past. The first in their family to go back in over 60 years. Through the lens of this journey, Hema & Lisette explore complex themes of Cuban identity, politics, and cultural heritage, including the racial dynamics of Cuban-Americans and the ongoing U.S.-Cuba relations.
Hema and Lisette met at the Podcast Movement conference and reconnect in this episode of The Moreish Podcast to talk about Lisette's trip to Cuba and what it's like growing up between 2 cultures.
Lisette shares a bit about their two related podcasts, 'Once Upon a Time in Havana' and the upcoming 'Havana Syndrome,' shedding light on their immersive and personal experiences in Cuba.
