In her own way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freedia is the queen of bounce, a subgenre of hip hop originating in New Orleans, her hometown and from where the artist \u2014 and also influencer, businesswoman and LGTBIQ+ activist \u2014 has expanded her kingdom and has rubbed shoulders with stars like Beyonc\u00e9, Lady Gaga and Drake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the Queen Diva, who this year has been promoting her CD <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central City<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is visiting Havana. She landed this week in the island\u2019s capital with her music, her entourage and her overflowing authenticity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is essential to know oneself very well and always try to be oneself,\u201d she said this Thursday to a group of Cuban entrepreneurs and artists in one of the exchanges that she has held these days in Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Musico_otm_1_35.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia exchanged with Cuban artists, activists and entrepreneurs at Bar Tempo.

Visits to cultural enterprises and private businesses, musical sessions and exchanges with other artists, twerking lessons, fashion parties, tastings and talks.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Musico_otm_1_31.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia exchanged with Cuban artists, activists and entrepreneurs at Bar Tempo.

She has not been to Havana simply to fulfill an agenda and pose for photos, but to immerse herself as much as possible in those realities, even with the visit\u2019s quick pace, although perhaps a broader audience would have allowed her a more precise and comprehensive portrait of the country she claims to have fallen in love with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m in love with Cuba. Being here has been a wonderful experience. Being able to know the culture, the music, the feeling, the way of people on the street; it\u2019s been incredible,\u201d she told <\/span><b>OnCuba<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this Thursday after her meeting with entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Musico_otm_1_81.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia.

Her return, she told <\/span><b>OnCuba<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, could even be as close as next January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding her visit to the city of Havana and her impressions on the exchanges held here, she assured our media that she felt \u201cat home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have been to many places, I have acted in and visited many places, but the feeling you get here is unique. The character of the people, the way they relate and connect with others is special. Cubans\u2019 way of being has made me feel like nowhere else in the world, like at home,\u201d said the Queen Diva.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Musico_otm_1_57.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia exchanged with Cuban artists, activists and entrepreneurs.

Despite the differences, there are also many similarities. In their interests, in their projection. It has been an experience that has helped me to get to know that reality, to connect with them, and to see how two peoples that are different can be so similar also from a human point of view,\u201d she commented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big Freedia thanked \u201cthe kindness and affection\u201d of those who opened their doors to her and shared with her their experiences and their art in Havana. She did not want to go without leaving a message to the Cubans and, in particular, the communities with which she exchanged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy message is that they continue forward, that they do not stop fighting for their rights, and that they do not stop working or doing for them, and for the well-being of the country. That entrepreneurs continue creating ventures, that the LGTBIQ+ community continue fighting for a greater space in society, that artists continue developing culture; that is important. Even when the government is in control, the power is always in the people and in their will to do and move forward,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Musico_otm_1_62.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia.
