In a video posted on her TikTok account @marlan_estudio, Marlan seized the opportunity to showcase the fruits of her labor since arriving in the United States. "I got my first car.

Furthermore, she mentioned recently securing her permanent residency, signing her first lease, and overcoming her fear of public performance. "If I'm doing well, my family in Cuba is doing well," Marlan expressed, referring to the financial support she has been able to provide to her mother and brother from afar.
Empowerment Through Perseverance
Her message, which combines gratitude with perseverance, has struck a chord with her followers, many of whom relate to her story of overcoming adversity and making sacrifices. Through this video, Marlan not only addresses the user's question but also sheds light on how Cuban emigrants discover new opportunities and face challenges abroad, and the significant impact these accomplishments have on their loved ones back in Cuba.
