Abraham Jiménez Enoa

Abraham Jiménez Enoa is a freelance journalist and co-founder of the online narrative journalism magazine El Estornudo. He was also a columnist for The Washington Post from 2019 to 2023. Jiménez Enoa is an outspoken voice within Cuba's media community, providing fresh perspectives on challenges for independent journalists and reporting on issues rarely covered by state media, including racism in Cuba. In 2020, state security officers strip-searched and handcuffed Jiménez Enoa, interrogated him for five hours, and threatened him and his family over his writings about life in Cuba in his monthly Washington Post column. The persistent harassment and censorship forced Jiménez to flee to Spain in 2021, where he is currently living in exile. He is the author of two books, The Hidden Island, and Landing in the World, Isla Familia, a documentary about his treatment by the Cuban authorities and his exile from the country, was released in 2024.
