CONSCIOUS CUBA, LLC
DALLAS, TX

Francis returned to the U.S. determined to enhance cross-cultural exchanges through the people-to-people program. Conscious Cuba was created with the intent to promote understanding from the ground up between two culturally and historically intertwined countries. Laura Reeder is from Dallas, Texas where she works in development, marketing, branding, PR, and events. She enjoys traveling, meeting new people, and has been lucky enough to live all over the US and Europe. It only took one trip down to Havana with President Francis Harrison for Laura to be hooked on Cuba. Laura fell in love with the sights, 1950’s cars, music, food, but most of all the people. She is passionate about the Conscious Cuba mission to bring North American travelers down to Cuba for a real cultural exchange. Denisse Cardenas-Coronado is a native of Charleston, South Carolina and a travel specialist and tour leader for Conscious Cuba. Her love of travel has brought her to the Conscious Cuba team as a travel specialist and guide helping you book your travel on our cultural exchange tours. Cuba’s close relations with the Soviet Union and the U.S. embargo ultimately devastated the island in the 1990s with the collapse of communism. A major economic crisis rippled through the nation causing underproduction of everything, especially food. The 90s were deemed the “Special Period” by the Cuban government and became the impetus for a mass Cuban exodus. Conscious Cuba makes a strong commitment to supporting local Cuban musicians and artists who are incredibly talented, dedicated and passionate about their careers. Below is a list of artists that we support, and a link for where you can find their work. Conscious Cuba Conscious Cuba
