MIAMI -- One of Cuba's most renowned dissidents is speaking in Miami.

Blogger and activist Yoani Sanchez will speak Monday at the Freedom
Tower, where thousands of Cuban exiles were processed after fleeing the
1959 communist revolution.

Sanchez has gained thousands of followers worldwide for her candid
descriptions of modern life in Cuba on her blog Generation Y. In 2009
she was named one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by
Time magazine.

Sanchez is currently on a world tour after being allowed to leave the
communist island for the first time in nearly a decade. She has traveled
to Europe, Latin America and the United States.

She arrived in Miami on Thursday and has described this stop as the most
emotional of her journey.
