Meeting Yoani Sánchez, a Cuban blogger who has achieved international fame and multiple international awards for her critical portrayal of life in Cuba under its current government.
Sánchez is best known for her blog, Generación Y (Generation Y), which, despite censorship in Cuba, she is able to publish by e-mailing the blog entries to friends outside the country who then post them online. The blog is translated and available in 17 languages.
Time magazine listed her as one of the world’s 100 most influential people, stating that „under the nose of a regime that has never tolerated dissent, Sánchez has practiced what paper-bound journalists in her country cannot: Freedom of speech.“
Great article!
