    The Voice of Kirk Franklin

    At our 21st Annual Reclaim The Dream Memorial & Gospel Concert, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Grammy Award-winning gospel legend Kirk Franklin for an uplifting conversation on faith, purpose, and the power of music. Held in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, this gathering blends reflection with a call to action, and Kirk embodies that spirit. He reflects on his journey from church beginnings to redefining gospel music, and the responsibility of using his platform to inspire others. Rooted in the energy of this meaningful event, our conversation is filled with authenticity, joy, and purpose.

    The Voice of Florida State Representative Ashley Gantt

    In celebration of Women’s History Month, I sit down with Florida State Representative Ashley Gantt for an honest and uplifting conversation about service, sisterhood, and the strength it takes for women to lead. Representative Gantt shares her journey from Miami-Dade teacher to attorney, legislator, and trailblazer, opening up about balancing long stretches in Tallahassee with her legal practice, carving out time for rest, and the community moments that keep her grounded. We discuss the pressures facing Florida families, from rising insurance costs to the need for real bipartisan solutions, and the importance of protecting your peace when the work feels endless. Beyond policy, she reflects on being the first in her family to break barriers, the joy of inspiring young people, and the women who shaped her path—from her own mentors to icons like Harriet Tubman and Gwen Cherry. Filled with humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, this episode is a reminder that when women lead with authenticity and purpose, they don’t just make history, they make change.

    The Voices of Damien Escobar and Adam Hawley

    As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, I welcome world-renowned musicians Damien Escobar and Adam Hawley for a soulful conversation on artistry, purpose, and the power of music to bring people together. Fresh for their performances at our Sunday Jazz in the Park concert at Legion Park in Miami's District Five, both artists share the journeys that shaped them, from childhood lessons and early touring to discovering the sounds that defined their careers. We talk about the universal language of music, the healing energy of live performance, and the discipline it takes to balance constant travel with family, creativity, and self-care. Damien opens up about falling in love with the violin and carving out his own lane in contemporary soul, while Adam reflects on the full-circle moment of signing with Earth, Wind & Fire’s Maurice White and eventually launching his own label. Beyond the stage, this episode celebrates the cultural legacy of Black musicians, whose work transcends both genre and generation. Whether reminiscing about the songs that shaped them or the dreams that still drive them, Damien and Adam remind us that music is history, heritage, and heart, an enduring gift that continues to move us forward.

    The Voice of Sandy Moise

    As a new year begins, many of us set intentions for healthier lives and stronger communities. In this January episode, I sit down with my neighbor, educator, and environmental advocate Sandy Moise to talk about protecting and growing Miami’s green future. From our city’s ongoing revision to the tree ordinance to creative ways development and the environment can thrive together, Sandy brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for preserving what makes Miami lusciously green and special. We discuss the importance of tree canopy in combating heat, protecting wildlife during nesting season, and keeping our bay clean and vibrant. Sandy also shares stories from her own journey, from growing up surrounded by trees in Ohio to championing pollinator-friendly landscaping and advocating for cooling stations for outdoor workers. This thoughtful, forward-looking conversation is a perfect reminder that every small action, from planting a native flower to protecting a mature tree, can have a big impact in 2026 and beyond.

    The Voice of Florida Senator Shevrin Jones

    As we close out the year and step into a season of reflection and renewal, I am joined by Florida Senator Shevrin Jones for a heartfelt conversation on resilience, empathy, and public service. In this candid episode, Senator Jones shares how he has learned to see obstacles as opportunities, the importance of meeting people where they are, and the bipartisan wins that put families first. We talk about his work to bring millions in infrastructure dollars to his district, his fight for foster care reform, and his ongoing push for solutions to Florida’s property insurance crisis. Beyond policy, Senator Jones opens up about personal growth, his upcoming memoir And Then the Son Came Out, and the life lessons shaped by both triumph and loss. From stories of helping an 81-year-old woman find safe housing to navigating grief while in public life, his insights are a timely reminder that leadership is most powerful when rooted in grace, grit, and the greater good.

    The Voice of Cathy Leff

    As our Magic City prepares to welcome the world for Miami Art Week, I welcome my friend Cathy Leff, Executive Director of the Bakehouse Art Complex, to this November episode. We explore how this historic bakery-turned-arts hub is becoming a national model for affordable artist housing, public greenspaces, and community-rooted creativity. Cathy shares the vision behind Bakehouse’s evolution, the $2 million restoration project she helped bring to life, and how public-private partnerships are keeping Miami’s creative spirit alive and accessible. This conversation is a joyful, thought-provoking reminder that the most meaningful cultural movements often begin right in our own neighborhoods.

    The Voice of Thema Campbell

    As the Children’s Village begins its first month of programming, I continue the conversation on safe spaces for youth with my longtime friend, Thema Campbell, founder and CEO of Girl Power Rocks. For more than two decades, Thema has worked to mentor and uplift “at-promise” girls, equipping them with the skills, support, and confidence to thrive. In this episode, Thema reflects on her upbringing in Mama Hattie’s house in Georgia, where every child had a place of belonging, and how that shaped her vision for Girl Power Rocks. We explore the organization’s journey from humble beginnings to a citywide network of after-school programs, mentoring circles, and now the ambitious Mama Hattie’s House project—a future home for girls aging out of foster care. Recorded right as the Children’s Village opened its doors, this conversation highlights how organizations like Lotus House and Girl Power are working in tandem to ensure Miami’s children not only survive but soar. Thema’s story is a moving reminder that when girls are lifted up, entire communities rise with them.

    The Voice of Constance Collins

    In the wake of September’s ribbon cutting for the Children’s Village, I sit down with its visionary founder, Constance Collins, who also founded Lotus House nearly two decades ago. What began as a single building in Overtown has grown into Lotus Village—the nation’s largest women’s shelter—and that now includes the newly opened Children’s Village, a separate but neighboring facility designed to support children and families with comprehensive care. Constance shares the deeply personal story of how one encounter with a woman experiencing homelessness changed the course of her life, moving her from a career in real estate to full-time advocacy. Together, we reflect on what it means to see the Children’s Village doors finally open, the community partnerships that made it possible, and the hope it brings to children and families across Miami. From hydroponic gardens to wraparound therapeutic services, Constance paints a powerful picture of how investing in families can break cycles of poverty and create spaces where dreams take root.
