For Ada Ferrer, making sense of the ties between the United States and Cuba has always been crucial. Brought to New Jersey as a baby, she became an immigrant before she could even talk, joining what is now a diaspora of over 2.9 million people. Ferrer went on to become one of the country's leading historians of the Caribbean island and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.

As the Trump administration continues to threaten the island with military intervention and shortages of fuel, electricity, and food intensify, Ferrer joins Jorge and Paola to unpack the latest chapter in the decades-long relationship between the two countries and what the worst-case scenario could be for Cubans. They also discuss her new book, Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter, tracing her own family history from slavery to the pursuit of the American Dream.
