Camila Cabello’s Early Life:

Camila was born in Cuba, and lived there until the age of 7, spending her childhood between Havana and Mexico City.

When Camila was 7, she and her mother packed their bags and left the comfort of their cities, families, and southern environment to chase the American dream, leaving behind Camila’s father to continue his job in Cuba. Facing the trouble, anxiety, and extremely long and difficult process of being granted permission to enter the US, Camila and her mother made sacrifices and worked with the intense changes.

After working as a successful architect in Cuba, Camila’s mother had to make a career change when she came to America. She took a job stocking clothes at the local Marshall’s in Miami, while taking English classes at night. By chance, two Cuban woman met Camila’s mother and asked about her story, learning about her struggles and her past career. As it turns out, the women knew of a job opening in architecture, and hired Camila’s mother to fill the position.
