Café crazed 1st Gen Cuban-American raised in Miami. 62 and starting anew!! Spanglish speaking Mother of 3, Abuela of 6; a human shot of espresso and earnest in my extremism. An adventurer, dancer of life; loving its’ locuras and celebrating the "humanness" of all people. The binding ties of family, being female, getting older and day to day life while hopefully enlightening and entertaining- this is the reason for Babushka and her dance.
♪A BAILAR SE HA DICHO!!♪
If you've been following Babushka you know I'm all about the positive, wonderful things in life. So if you think this is a political statement JU SO FONII!!! Ok, si, maybe a little, but mainly it's about gratitude. Gratitude to a country that welcomed and still welcomes my people from Cuba.
Mil Gracias to you mi querido USA,
for as a first generation Cuban American I can never say it enough.
I know what my fate would have been if you hadn't welcomed my family.
MY CHILDHOOD
Children indoctrinated into Communism
MY YOUTH
Control in all categories
MY SHOPPING LIST
Rations Book
STORES TO SHOP
Slim Selection
And though we are all children of immigrants,
I only need to look 90 miles away to see where I would have been and know what I would have done.
Exodo del Mariel
Feliz Cumpleaños America, Happy 4th of July!
Celebrate your freedom with pride and cheer.
For my part, I'm adding gratitude to the celebration.
Bohemian Besos a todos. Cuidensen.
P.S. The photos were found on Pinterest, some on Cuban groups on Feibu. Perdoname that I didn't find or write down the exact sources. The author of the video is Gianluca Zanna, a former Italian Immigrant.
Bohemian Babushka
Groovy Spanglish speaking Grandma of 6 who loves life and all its adventures. Motivational while still keeping it real, Babushka shows how all things looked at with gratitude are good, and how to say to la vida- JU SO FONII!!!

Powerful photos. Too many people aren't as grateful as they should be to American.
ReplyDeleteSi Sujeiry- powerful for their truth. I agree, way too many take our liberties and freedom for granted; hope this shows how truly special America is.
