Stories of Freedom: Celebrating Cuban Heritage Month Through Our Community
Every shirt we make tells a story, but the ones that mean the most… are yours. This Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to highlight the stories of our community — those whose parents, grandparents, and bisabuelas risked everything for a better life. These are their words. Our shared legacy.
1. "You might be too little to understand it all now but I hope one day, when you’re much older, you will visit the place I was born & the home I grew up in and experience a FREE CUBA— one which I hope I get to see too."
2. "I remember learning that we were being held captive by a dictator as a little kid."

4. It’s an extraordinary price to pay for the American dream, but it was one that they did not take lightly, nor do I take for granted.
5. He is why I scream “Cuba libre”! He is why I am adamant on making sure my people are heard!
6. This was hours before getting in a plane without my parents, a fake Spanish passport and with a name I had to learn.
7. He hid for 19 days… trial and error trying to build a motor good enough to travel the 90 miles (and mind you he is in hiding, building a loud motor as quietly as he can).
8. We were born free thanks to our Abuelos! My grandparents left cuba in 1969.
9. I was too young to know how lucky I was to get on a comfortable plane with an American visa in my hand.
