Home Runs
Women like new Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng are scoring unprecedented positions this year.
Can you hear the roar? From the election to higher education, is the year of the woman. My heart can’t help but swell up with pride when I hear yet another woman smashing through the glass ceiling. We’ve got U.S. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris heading to the White House, Madeline Pumariega starting her new gig as president of Miami Dade College in January as well, and Daniella Levine Cava being sworn in as the Mayor of Miami-Dade County on November These achievements are all firsts for women, and I have to hand it to Miami for its progress when it comes to inclusion.
There was one other big announcement this year that really hits home for me. As some of you know, my father was an umpire in Cuba. His passion for baseball was very much a part of my childhood, so I’m beyond thrilled that the Miami Marlins just tapped Kim Ng to be the team’s general manager. This is a huge leap for Major League Baseball, as she’s the first woman to hold the position in its history.
Ng, who turned 52 on Tuesday, has spent much of her life involved with the sport. She began her baseball
Miami, Mi Amor
An ode to our vibrant city’s many charms and its new chapter.
Miami is my home. It’s where I grew up, received my education, discovered my career, built my business, raised my family and invested my time and energy into the community. I’m not alone. People have been seduced by its charms going back to early settlers at the turn of the 20th century. They love to vacation here, too, and attend tony events like Art Basel, but many are just discovering our best-kept secret—that it’s also a great place to live and work. Florida has been one of the fastest-growing states for years, and the pandemic has compounded the trend, especially in South Florida.
Every day I hear about a new company, celebrity or mogul relocating to Miami, or at least strongly considering it. Mayor Francis Suarez has been very vocal about collaborating with big tech and startups to establish headquarters or open satellite offices here. He even exchanged words with Elon Musk, who’s already put down roots in the Sunshine State with his SpaceX program.
Goldman Sachs is also scouting South Florida to potentially relocate its asset management arm. The firm’s openness to leaving Manhattan ma

Congratulations to Miami’s very special YoungArts on its big birthday!
YoungArts, one of the world’s biggest champions of the next generations of artists, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Miami-based organization, it was founded by Lin and Ted Arison to foster U.S. artists aged in various disciplines including classical music, jazz, voice, dance, theater, visual arts and film. Each year, hundreds of winners across the nation receive financial awards and a week in Miami to study and mingle with star experts, many of whom are YoungArts alumni themselves. Just to give you an idea of the talent, Viola Davis, Andrew Rannells and Tarell Alvin McCraney have participated in this program, first as teens, and then as instructors. YoungArts also has enough cachet to get famous non-alums like Mikhail Baryshnikov, Debbie Allen and Wynton Marsalis to share their insight and experiences with the kids in master classes. The nurturing doesn’t end there. Winners are eligible for nomination as a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, among many professional networking and career development opportunities and services.

The de la Vega Household: Transforming Real Estate with Artistry
Key Takeaways:
Hot Take Alert:
Apparently, the secret to leading a luxury real estate powerhouse is not a MBA degree, real estate legacy, or even a magic lamp, but a family recipe. It turns out, blending Mayi’s eye for the aesthetically pleasing, Daniel’s tech savvy and the bond that comes with being family can whip up a boutique brokerage that rules Florida&#;s East Coast with an iron (yet beautifully manicured) fist.
While most of us struggle to organize a decent family game night, the de la Vegas are busy redefining the paramete
