Contact Ana
Ana is available for speaking engagements, in Spanish or English, about Cuba and the Cuban American experience, the artist-driven pro-democracy movement on the island, and her writing journey, from writing commentaries for NPR’s All Things Considered, to writing her memoir, Property of the Revolution.
Ana speaks regularly with high school students in history, English, and advanced Spanish classes. Teachers usually have students watch or listen to Ana’s NPR commentaries and PBS storytelling prior to her visit. Students, teachers and the author then have lively exchanges about post-revolutionary Cuba, the immigrant experience, Cuban culture, and the power of writing to heal and enrich us.
