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.

If you can, please consider donating to the National Network of Abortion Funds. Safe, compassionate, quality abortion care should be fully accessible. If you can’t, spread awareness of and fight against insidious laws that stigmatize and limit education on, access to and financial support for abortions.

Episode Transcript

Description of potentially triggering content (contains spoilers):

• Timestamp of case file: 12:58-28:45.
• Context: Client has lingering pain in hips, Kalila works with them to understand it is from the anger and fear of stigma after having an abortion years ago.
• Trigger warnings: discussion of abortion & related societal shaming, medical abuse/gaslighting, mention of past abusive relationships, a brief mention of transphobia (client is nonbinary), and allusions of being pressured into sex without protection.
• Discussion of abortion includes conversations about societal shame about having the procedure and abusive "emergency pregnancy" centers. The client does NOT have personal shame about having the abortion, only shame about their perceived mistakes leading up to it.
