In her illuminating talk, Alina Fernandez, the daughter of Fidel Castro, shares her first-person, intimate account of growing up in Cuba. Through her insight as one of the Cuban elite, Alina guides you through her life in Cuba and describes the surrounding political environment during the 1960s and 1970s. Weaving in her unique sense of style and humor, she reveals suspenseful anecdotes, snapshots of Cuban society, her inside scoop on Cuban politics, and a detailed view of her father.

Alina Fernández is a Cuban‑American writer, speaker, and activist best known for her singular perspective as the daughter of Fidel Castro. Raised in Havana under the weight of her father’s regime, she ultimately fled Cuba in 1993, seeking the freedom to tell her story on her own terms. Her memoir, Castro’s Daughter, offers one of the most intimate accounts of life inside the Cuban revolution, blending personal history with a rare insider’s view of political power, secrecy, and control. Fernández’s voice has become an important window into the human realities of authoritarianism and the emotional cost of exile. Today, she shares her experiences with audiences around the world, reflecting on identity, resilience, and the meaning of freedom. With candor, humor, and hard‑earned insight, Fernández brings history to life through the lens of someone who lived it from the inside out.
