I visited Cuba in 2016, my main mission was to photograph 1950’s Classic Cars that dominated the Havana City roads.

 My three-week trip was magical, I meet local Cuban artists and spend my entire trip learning about Cuba and developing life long connections. My professional research visa to Cuba on my first visit, got me involved in interviewing and learning about the history of the classic cars still driving on  the Havana streets today.  On my return trip to Cuba a couple years later  I decided to gather children’s clothing in California to bring for families in need in Havana.  After a few social media posts reaching out to my community in San Francisco I was able to gather 44 kg of nice quality clothing to take  and gift.

My wonderful friends in Cuba helped me once I arrived to distribute the items to many families (mostly within the deaf community).
