Three months ago, on April 23, 2019, Yubreilis left Güiria, a town on the west coast of the state of Sucre, for Trinidad and Tobago. Her idea was to find a job there so that she could be able to provide for her three daughters. The boat in which she and 37 others were sailing capsized. She is one of the eight survivors.
I was ten years old when I decided I would be a journalist. I graduated from the Andrés Bello Catholic University in 2005 and I have been writing from Cumaná, state of Sucre, ever since. I am also a mother, a citizen, a reporter, a human rights activist and a union delegate.
