Shadow returns with a very special message and introduces a new series from Stormfire Productions.

About Once Upon a Time in Havana: How can an island, only 90 miles from the U.S. southeastern coast, feel so far away? Lisette Alvarez guides you through their journey as the first person in their family to return to Cuba after over 60 years, all within the context of U.S.-Cuba geopolitical history.

This 12-episode true story is released just in time for the anniversaries of two major U.S.- Cuba events: the 10th anniversary of the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Havana, and the 25th anniversary of the Elián González crisis. These moments of history, and more, will be discussed in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HAVANA. 

Episodes are released weekly beginning August 15, 2024.

Kalila's latest client is faced with a crossroads regarding his future, and Kalila herself finally faces the past.

CONTENT WARNING: Active revisiting of Kalila's memory of her abusive relationship with Samuel Argent, which includes gaslighting and "negging" behavior, as well as a veiled reference to Kalila's past D&E, an abortion procedure. This occurs after Kalila's client scene, during the second half of the episode with Kalila and Aphrodite. These are extended, emotionally-taxing scenes that run through the rest of the episode. Please take care of yourself.
