The Cuban authorities detained him twice while trying to defect to the United States with his friends. Eventually, when he was 21, Diaz successfully defected to Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic, from Holguin, Cuba, with his childhood friend Leandro Linares.

Yandy Has Not Met His Mom For Nine Years

Diaz last saw his mom, Elsa Maria Fernandez, in 2013 before he fled his home country, Cuba. Diaz wants to get his mom out of there and bring her there with him in the United States, but first, he has to get clearance from the Cuban authorities.

However, he thinks he still has to wait for some more time.

As this continues, Diaz and his mom’s Mother’s Day has never been memorable in these nine years. Yandy tries to connect with her through video calls or text messages every day.

Diaz is his mother’s only child. Especially after his father left, Elsa and Diaz’s grandmother were the only ones to look after him. She worked nearly twelve hours daily in a cigar factory in Sagua la Grande to provide for his needs.
