After His Father’s Murder, Carlos Frías Found Solace In Miami’s Ventanitas
About this episode
The episode explores Fernando Frías' journey from Cuba to Miami and his search for his homeland within the Cuban-American community.
Fernando Frías was a successful cafe and restaurant owner in Havana, but when Fidel Castro came to power, the government nationalized Fernando’s businesses and imprisoned him when he tried to leave the country. Eventually he got out, settling near Miami like so many other Cuban expats. Even though Fernando never went back to Cuba, he was always searching for pieces of his homeland in the Cuban-American community in Miami.
