Winner’s Bio

Abraham Jiménez Enoa is a Cuban-born journalist and author whose work has exposed the realities of life under authoritarian rule in his native country. From Havana, where he was raised in a family deeply entrenched in the Cuban revolutionary state, Jiménez Enoa studied journalism at the University of Havana, graduating in 2012.

He was a co-founder of the independent magazine El Estornudo—the first Cuban outlet devoted to narrative journalism—and became a columnist for the Spanish-language page of the Washington Post in 2020.

Jiménez Enoa’s reporting and commentary have appeared widely—in publications such as The New York Times, BBC World, Al Jazeera and regional outlets—and have drawn global attention to issues of freedom of expression, racial inequality and political repression in Cuba.

In response to his work, he has been exiled from his native country.
