It\u2019s a city of beauty and energy, where the ocean meets innovation, and dreams take shape. For many of us, Miami is both a beginning and a destination. Like me, many Miamians came from other countries and built lives and futures here.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Miami is dear to my heart. It\u2019s where my children were born and where my company, <\/span><\/i><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Half Moon Empanadas,<\/span><\/i><\/b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> came to life.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I arrived in Miami in 2006, knowing no one. I had no job or network. If someone had told me what the next twenty years would hold \u2014 the challenges, the blessings, the lessons, and the incredible people who would cross my path \u2014 I wouldn\u2019t have believed it. All of this can be summarized in one word: <\/span><\/i><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Miami.<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Miami Fellows Journey<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I became a Miami Fellow during a full, demanding chapter of my life \u2014 growing a business while raising two small children. The fellowship weekends were intense, yet they filled me with learning, inspiration, and, most importantly, deep human connection.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The people I met \u2014 my classmates, the speakers, the mentors \u2014 became part of my story. What I didn\u2019t realize at the time was how profoundly this network would shape my life and business years later.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is what makes the Miami Fellows program unique. It\u2019s not simply leadership training \u2014 it\u2019s an investment in people who are already serving and shaping our city, giving them the relationships, tools, and perspective to make their impact even greater.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When Fellowship Meets Purpose<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During COVID, when nine out of ten restaurants closed, Half Moon Empanadas faced a terrifying reality: shutting down stores and laying off staff. But the Miami Fellows network helped us survive \u2014 and ultimately, transform.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through a connection with one of my classmates, <\/span><\/i><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rashad Thomas<\/span><\/i><\/b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, we were introduced to the County\u2019s Emergency Department, which provided meals for seniors confined to their homes. Overnight, our kitchen pivoted from making empanadas to preparing thousands of meals for seniors.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That moment was about more than keeping the business alive. It became a lifeline \u2014 for our employees, for local vendors, and for the people we served. It reminded me that leadership isn\u2019t about titles or status. It\u2019s about service. It\u2019s about showing up for your community when it matters most.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is the ripple effect of investing in leaders. When you strengthen one person, you empower an entire ecosystem of change.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Power of Opportunity<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Half Moon story began in Miami \u2014 a city that celebrates resilience and reinvention. From the start, we dreamed big. I\u2019ll never forget competing for our first airport store at Miami International Airport. We were a small local business up against national giants. But I believed in the promise of this country, a place where hard work and integrity could open doors.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And we won.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That moment reaffirmed my belief in the American dream \u2014 and in Miami\u2019s power to nurture that dream. Today, Half Moon Empanadas is proud to be Miami-born and growing to more than 15 airports across the nation.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why to Invest in Leaders<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Miami Foundation believes that people build communities \u2014 and when we invest in leaders, we invest in the future of Miami itself.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Leadership is the thread that holds our community together.

They are educators, entrepreneurs, artists, advocates \u2014 people who love this city enough to roll up their sleeves and lead with purpose. The Foundation\u2019s commitment to this program reflects a simple truth: when you pour into people, they pour back into the place they call home.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A Call to the Next Generation of Leaders<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Miami is our home. And with that comes responsibility. The opportunities we\u2019ve been given must inspire us to give back \u2014 to invest our time, talent, and resources in the place that\u2019s given us so much.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whether you lead a business, a classroom, a nonprofit, or a family, each of us has a role to play in shaping the future of this city. Together, we can build a Miami that creates wealth and dignity for all \u2014 a city that respects people regardless of where they come from or the accent they carry.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We are the reflection of what this country will become in the years ahead.
