These conversations are about creating a space for you to link up with friends, old and new, who feel the same way (and maybe some who don\u2019t). They\u2019re about discovering how each of us can join the thousands of people making Miami-Dade County a better place to live for everyone. <a href=\"https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/news\/heading-into-2020-my-miami-story-conversations-to-ask-where-are-we-as-a-community\/\">Read more about this year\u2019s theme.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This conversation is just the spark.
