#ImaniBashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to #Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the #CubanRevolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation.

For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing #AfroCuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions.

Her argument on the #blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the US. It has never put #US safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says.
