Travel to Cuba with President Obama
Donation protected
Hi! I am Shelya Paz... 
I left communist Cuba 15 years ago to live here in the United States with the love of my life, a songwriter. I always wanted to be in the media but the Cuban government decided I should be trained as a teacher, instead.
When I arrived here my husband encouraged me to follow my passion. So, I am self-taught as a social media journalist . I have been covering stories for my site, Entertainment Circle Network, which is part of my small, but blossoming bilingual Paz Communications, Inc. production company.
Fast forward to now:
I have been fortunate to be contacted by the White House and invited to travel with President Obama to Cuba March 19th to March 22nd, 2016. So, time is of the essence. This is a great honor but with that comes the reality of the exhorbitant expenses. I am racing against the clock to make that plane on Saturday and cover all the costs.
As you can imagine, I must pay all the expenses myself. It is not cheap to fly with the president. I will be with the President Obama as an eyewitness to events and give first hand accounts of how the United States and Cuba are reconnecting to hopefully reopen doors to allow the Cuban people more freedoms.
This is a crucial story in the history of my beautiful and previous homeland, Cuba. And, now, my beautiful new homeland, the United States, is creating opportunities for those struggling in Cuba to perhaps achieve their dreams. The United States has afforded tremendous opportunities to me for which I am deeply grateful and I hope the same will happen for the 11 million living in Cuba.
The travel costs are exorbitant and beyond my reach.
But, I feel so strongly about covering this eventful trip that I have raised half of what it will take to travel there with the White House Press Corps.
This is a true honor and one that I want to share with everyone. I will be posting numerous stories, first hand accounts and talking to everyone and anyone who want information about the developing relationship between the two countries.

I am a struggling business woman who had a dream and it is coming true. Now, I have this great opportunity to share a historic event. Please help me as I need to raise another $7,000 to cover all the costs of travel, communications, hotel and accomodations. Everything is exhorbitantly high priced. I have reached out to numerous friends, family, sponsors and acquaintances who have helped but I have now reached the moment where, if I do not raise this money, I fear I will need to abandon my plans.
I hope you feel this is as important as I do because I will bring you the news and information, unfiltered, and from the point of view of someone who has lived on both sides.
I am extremely grateful to you for reading this post. I will continue to post stories and information about this journey and hope you will become a part of this amazing moment in time.
Thank you so very much,
