Survivor story: Daniela ionescu
Daniela Ionescu shared her story with YAAS of what it was really like to grow up as a young woman living throguh Romanian communism. YAAS’ mission resonated with Daniela because she noticed a troubling trend: she hears young people in Romania today saying, “Ceaușescu and Communism were good.”
Most strikingly, she shared that watching certain events unfold under the former United States administration brought back chilling memories, “I began to say, this reminds me of communism.”
Survivor story: Gabriela Blanco
Gaby was born in 1990 in Havana, Cuba, during a time of extreme hardship following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Her early years were filled with love and strong family values, but also economic struggle.
Her family’s ultimate goal was to leave Cuba, a dream her father pursued and overtime, he fled to Bolivia and Peru before finally reaching the United States with her siblings.
Gaby was separated from them for almost 10 years, a painful separation that deeply impacted her view on the importance of the nuclear family.
