Marylin Álvarez Domínguez

Marylin Álvarez Domínguez is a 50-year-old cosmetologist living in the densely populated Bahía neighborhood of Cuba. Amidst the worst energy crisis in the country's history, she has had to adapt her cooking methods due to severe shortages of both electricity and gas. With daily power outages lasting up to 10 hours, she relies on innovative solutions such as cooking with charcoal and utilizing makeshift electric stoves created by her husband. Marylin's determination to provide for her family reflects the resilience of many Cubans facing the ongoing crisis.
