A young Cuban woman residing on the island has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a bold video where she makes it clear that she's not on the platform to find a partner or seek financial help. Her message, aimed at her followers and those sending romantic proposals, has sparked a wave of reactions across social media.
"Let me make one thing clear," she starts off in her video. "Just because I have TikTok in Cuba and use it in different ways, doesn't mean I'm looking for a guy, a husband, or anyone to send me money."
The woman, known on the platform as @izzys33, expressed her frustration about constantly being asked for her phone number. "I've been offered things here, and I've said no. What TikTok provides is more than enough for me," she stated confidently.
Social Media Reactions
The video, which has garnered thousands of views and comments, showcases her defending her independence and clarifying that her presence on TikTok is purely social and personal. "Stop asking for my phone number," she concludes firmly.
The post has generated mixed opinions. Some support her stance and appreciate her honesty, while others feel she could have delivered her message in a less direct manner. For many, however, her words resonate with the experiences of numerous Cuban women who face similar dynamics on social media platforms.
Comments on her video include: "I support you 100%, everyone decides how to use their social media" and "So brave! Not everyone has the courage to say things as they are." Yet, there are those who criticize her attitude, suggesting that a public platform will always invite such interactions.
