But Fernández is different: She's the daughter of Fidel Castro. "I'm surrounded by people that really hate my father and were really damaged by him," she said. Fernández spoke Wednesday to a crowd of nearly 600 people at the University of Florida in an event held as part of Hispanic Heritage Month. Since fleeing Cuba in 1993, she's written the book "Castro's Daughter: An Exile's Memoir of Cuba" and now hosts a radio show in Miami. She's a critic of her father, the leader of the Cuban Revolution who served as president until health problems led to his resignation in 2008. Fidel Castro's brother, Raúl, then took over. This month, the Cuban government announced some of the biggest changes to its economy in decades. It is laying off 500,000 workers and allowing citizens to work in some private activities. But Fernández questioned the scope of the reforms, saying they will allow people only to work in limited kinds of employment, such as cutting hair or cleaning houses. "They are the most bizarre jobs you've ever heard about," she said. Fernández, 54, is the product of an affair that Castro had with her mother, Natalia Revuelta, before he took power. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
