Moraima Carballo

Mory Carballo's passion for teaching, music, and art has been a driving force since childhood. Her exceptional teaching skills were apparent in Cuba, where she inspired and motivated her students. Mory's love for teaching and her students' affectionate nickname for her, "Maestra," fueled her determination to continue to follow her passion. She took a bold step and moved to the United States to pursue her dreams. Mory's unwavering dedication to her craft is truly inspiring.

Having spent the last fourteen years in Florida, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery through writing her book. The experience has been nothing short of rewarding as she has been able to share her story of transition from Cuba to America through literature. Her memories of Cuba are still fresh, from the tobacco scent to the family reunions where her father played some musical instruments in the background. She hopes to inspire others to pursue their passions and share their unique experiences with the world through her writing.

Mory's admirable journey of learning English as a second language and adapting to American culture serves as an inspiration. With hard work and determination, she achieved her goals, from earning an associate degree in arts to building a career while raising a family. Mory's unwavering perseverance and dedication proved that dreams do come true, and that anything is possible if one is willing to put in the effort.

Mory's Memoir, Born Again in America, (a nation where dreams still come true) is a reflection of the unwavering pursuit of dreams, the beauty of life, and the power of love.
