04 - Mayor of Miami-Dade County Daniella Levine Cava
We were so grateful to Madam Mayor Daniella Levine Cava for choosing Lotus House to celebrate her one-year anniversary in office! We discuss why she picked us for this special day, her decades of service to women and children throughout her career, and her vision for the County. Last but not least, she chats with Zaniyah, 12-year-old daughter of an alum staff member, to answer questions we solicited from our younger kids.
We’ll be back with new episodes in the New Year! Until then, the warmest holiday wishes from our House to yours.
