Gilt and Glamsquad co-founder Alexandra Wilkis Wilson and her partner Lisa Myers officially launched their $ioo million growth equity investment fund and announced their first investment in Dormify, an e-commerce platform for dorm room and Gen Z home decor.
Their new firm, Clerisy_. provides a platform for institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals to invest in promising, innovative consumer companies that have established traction but need additional capital and expertise to scale, the company said in its announcement last week. The firm's name is derived from the word "clerisy," meaning a group of learned, collaborative, innovative people.
Before forming Clerisy, Wilson, now a Miami resident, co-founded and served as chief merchandising officer of luxury e-commerce platform Gilt.com and co-founded and served as CEO of Glamsquad. Her experience includes strategy, marketing, sales and operations roles at Allergen, Bulgari and Louis Vuitton and she has advised and/or invested in more than 5o early-stage businesses. Myers previously served as a partner on the flagship buyout fund at L Catterton, the world's largest consumer-focused private equity fund, and is president of Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.. a $240 million SPAC in which L Catterton is a minority shareholder and which recently announced its intended merger with private aviation firm Wheels lip.
"Lisa is based in the Bahamas and I'm based here, so we really view Miami as our headquarters. She brings the investor expertise and I'm the one with the operator background - the investor-operator duo is unique. We're a growth fund investing in companies with more than $10 million in revenues who are looking to scale, and we usually invest in consumer-facing tech. These companies already have product-market fit and they're looking to grow. We're particularly interested in health * wellness, beauty, and the commercialization of healthcare: Wilson said in a recent Refresh Miami interview.

5 Code/Art's virtual festival for K-12 girls is right around the corner
Code/Art is gearing up for its first all-virtual Codg/Art Fest, an annual creative coding conference for K-12 girls and STEAM educators, which will take place March 20. Code/Art a nonprofit founded by Amy Austin Renshaw, aims to increase the number of girls studying computer science by delighting and inspiring them with the creative possibilities of coding.
This year's speaker lineup includes Danielle Fienberg, Director of Lighting at Pixar Animation Studios, and Emma Yang, the 16-year-old founder of Timeless, an app that helps friends and family stay connected during the early stages of Alzheimer's by using AI-based facial recognition technology. The conference will include a full day of activities, including coding workshops, a STEAM Expo. an interactive art display, a pitch competition and a career panel.

More than 100,000 M-DCPS students to receive free internet Investing to bridge the digital divide
Selena Stanley, Miami Times Staff Writer Mar 16, 2021
Booker T. Washington High School/Gregory Reed
More than 100,000 Miami-Dade County students in need will receive free internet for the next two
years through a new initiative called Miami Connected. Announced at a press conference in
Overtown on Monday, the program is a major step forward in tackling Miami's digital divide — or lack
of internet access in underserved communities.

The news comes as another issue looms large over Miami's public schools. More than 10,000 students have "gone missing," having not shown up to class since last March, according to school
officials. The digital divide is partly to blame, with many students seemingly getting lost in the mayhem of attempting to attend school remotely. Local leaders say they are committed to ensuring
too much damage hasn't already been done, but uncertainty remains.

More than one in five Miami-Dade residents do not have reliable access to the internet, making
Miami the second least-connected large city in the U.S. according to Achieve Miami, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to advancing educational equity in the county; K-12 students have been
especially disadvantaged by Miami's digital divide over the years.
The county's curriculum already involved assignments that were easiest to complete with internet
access at home, driving many kids to public libraries to do their homework. When schools
transitioned to remote learning last March, children in households lacking connectivity had a difficult https://www.miamitimesonline.com/news/more-than-100-000-m-dcps-students-to-receive-free-internet/article_519c8f64-8736-11eb-9b92-7f534daeff00.... 2/7

time attending class. Some families adapted, calling on friends and relatives for support. Others
relied on makeshift learning labs — facilities run by nonprofit organizations with available computers
where students could be dropped off to attend remote classes. But a number of students had to
navigate their situations alone.
That's what drove Achieve Miami to develop Miami Connected in partnership with The Miami Foundation. Achieve Miami was awarded $5 million in CARES Act funding, which was initially used
to purchase devices for students last fall. Remaining funds (of an unspecified amount) are being
dedicated toward this effort, which Miami Foundation CEO Rebecca Fishman Lipsey reported
through her organization's PR firm as having an estimated total cost between $15 and $30 million —
a very wide range.

A total of $11 million has been raised for the initiative to date, including $5 million from Citadel
Group CEO Ken Griffin, who supported a similar program in Chicago, as well as contributions from
The Miami Foundation ($300,000), the City of Miami ($50,000) and The Children's Trust ($150,000 a year for three years). Achieve Miami Founder Leslie Miller Saiontz, tech group eMerge Americas, TD Bank and the Miami Heat, have collectively contributed an unspecified amount, which Achieve
Miami and The Miami Foundation declined to itemize prior to deadline.
Miami Connected will launch this month, working with wireless provider Comcast.
"The initial rollout of Miami Connected will be to the 22,000 students who attend Title I schools in the
following four high school feeder patterns, Booker T. Washington in Overtown, Homestead Senior in
Homestead, Miami Edison in Little Haiti and Miami Northwestern in Liberty City," said Sarah
Emmons, Achieve Miami's executive director. "Any student who attends a school in one of these
four feeder patterns will be eligible."
Phase Two of the rollout will expand Miami Connected to 67,000 additional students on a school-by-
school basis. Miami-Dade's highest-need communities will be targeted again, in other school feeder
patterns. The joint initiative's mission is to make Miami-Dade the most technologically inclusive
county in the nation.
"Our community has been through a lot this past year, but I want you to imagine with me what it was
like to navigate this past year without high-quality internet in your home," said Fishman Lipsey.
"Over the past year, Internet was a basic human need, and the truth is it will remain a basic human
need in the future."
In addition to providing free Internet service, Miami Connected will teach students and their families
the skills necessary to become more digitally literate. This aspect of the program will be achieved
through a community advisory group that will execute grant programs.
"Our responsibility at The Miami Foundation is to identify issues that matter most to the future of
Miami, to serve as a backbone and to act ... This is what it looks like to solve real problems,"
Fishman Lipsey said.
"This is the right investment for our community," said Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho. "We recognize that eradicating the digital deserts in our
community may seem like a simple idea, but we are on the verge of actually getting it done."

Regarding the 10,000 missing Miami-Dade County students, Carvalho told the Miami Herald last
month that the district has a "pretty good sense" of where they are, and shared that about 76% now
attend private schools or have left the county. He also said the true estimate of students the district
has had no contact with, and whose whereabouts are still unknown, is about 1,700.
School districts employ a team of social workers and resource officers to search for students in the
event they stop going to class. After a child accumulates more than 20 absences, a red flag is raised
and a case file is opened. This year, caseloads have doubled or tripled because of disruptions
caused by the pandemic.
District 2 school board representative Dorothy Bendross-Mindingall will propose a new strategy at
the next school board meeting to help find the missing children.
"As a [prior] principal at Lillie Carmichael Evans Elementary School in the heart of Liberty City, when
children didn't come to school, I went to their homes and got them," Bendross-Mindingall said.
"What I'm going to offer is an opportunity for our parents, who might not be employed at this time. I'd
like to employ some of them to go out and knock on doors," providing support to the district's social
workers and officers, she said.
Steve Gallon III, school board vice-chair and District 1 representative, expressed concern about
children who remain unaccounted for.
"Any inability to locate and engage students in learning remains concerning," he said. "We will
continue to be vigilant in ensuring that we account for all students, and ensure that they are
engaged in meaningful, consistent learning activities."
Although Miami Connected may not solve every problem the school district faces, Booker T.
Washington Senior High School principal Kevin Lawrence is "optimistic."

"I'm not going to sit here and say it's going to solve every single problem, but it's at least here to
provide kids with resources that they normally would not have," he said. "And that, to me, is more
important than anything else. It puts us in a better place to provide more support. This is just the
start."
Lawrence became the school's principal last July, after serving in the same role for Horace Mann
Middle School in El Portal. He said that prior to the pandemic, students with internet issues could go
to a teacher's classroom, study hall or tutoring after school to work on assignments. Shutdowns, due
to the coronavirus, immediately exacerbated the impact of the already existing digital divide.
"Over the last 10 years, the way we've taught and the way we've learned has totally changed,"
Lawrence said. "There are some variations of internet services that students would need for school,
even kids in elementary school, especially how students do research now, rely on search engines
like Google for most things."

Mela Fleary, a sophom*ore at Booker T., says attending school has been difficult because of connectivity issues. She is in the school's astronomy magnet and engineering program. She is also
captain of the girls volleyball team, a dual enrollment student at Miami Dade College and a member
of the National Honor Society. Usually a very active student, connectivity issues made her feel
uninterested, especially after she contracted COVID-19.
"When I was out sick with COVID-19, it was hard for me personally because there were issues on
Zoom," she said. "The Wi-Fi might be stable one day, but the next day it crashes. So having [Miami
Connected] is reassurance, knowing I will have extra backup and support when doing homework."
Giolany Mendes, another student at Booker T., said connectivity issues were discouraging and led
him to fell behind.
"I wasn't doing in-person learning at the beginning of the school year," he said. "I came back [to
school] because I had issues with online access and I wasn't used to the Zoom thing. It threw me
off. Being at home felt better at the time, but my grades were poor. I didn't have a problem with
coming back because I knew that they would get me the help that I needed."
Miami Connected is a solution long overdue for underserved Miami-Dade residents. But cleaning up
the fallout of the digital divide and tracking down off-the-grid students will take time.
What happens after the two years of free internet access ends? Funding partners haven't figured
that out yet.

Senate Republicans advance bill that would reshape Bright Futures scholarship program

3/18/2021 Florida Senate Republicans advance Bright Futures redesign I Miami Herald
Following a rewrite and uproar from dozens of students and parents, Senate Republicans on Tuesday advanced legislation that could reduce amounts covered under the state's popular Bright Futures college scholarship program.
The largely unpopular bill was pulled from the Senate Education Committee agenda a week ago to give its sponsor more time to adjust some of the more contentious items.
Many of the key policy ideas in Senate Bill 86 were left untouched. But a new, longer version now requires state education officials to put together a list of degrees that don't lead directly to jobs, and that list is tied to Bright Futures scholarship amounts.
Students seeking degrees that are on the list would get smaller scholarship amounts. The goal is to "redesign the program to connect the world of work and the world of education," said Sen. Dennis Baxley, the sponsor of the bill.
"I am saying have a pathway plan that connects between these two worlds or you are not going to have the full package," Baxley said.
Baxley, R-Ocala, called Bright Futures — a program that rewards high school graduates based on merit and high academic achievements — an "entitlement program."
His bill also includes language that would take away scholarship funds for any credits that students earned through Advanced Placement and related programs they took in high school — something the state has encouraged them to do over several years.
"We are not going to pay for that same course again," said Baxley.
At the same time that Baxley proposes scaling back Bright Futures awards, he also is sponsoring legislation (SB 1728) that would allow out-of-state students to pay in-state tuition rates at public universities if their grandparents live in Florida.
A BIG IMPACT
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article249979249.html 2/8
3/18/2021 Florida Senate Republicans advance Bright Futures redesign I Miami Herald
Bright Futures currently benefits roughly 112,000 Florida students. Dozens of those Bright Futures recipients, their parents, university student body presidents and even some college professors, filled a room at the Leon County Civic Center on Tuesday to speak against the reworked bill.
Each received 30 seconds to make their case, and most characterized the proposal as one that would make college less affordable and that cast uncertainty on their career paths.
Some Florida high school seniors also expressed concern about a provision in the bill that would take away scholarship funds for college credits earned through Advanced Placement and related programs they took in high school. Baxley said the reduction would only apply if the credit is accepted by the institution and applies to a career program requirement, or to general education courses.
"Why am I being punished for following the advice given to me by the state?" said Grant Stacey, a high school senior from Port Charlotte.
Most of the concerns, however, revolved around students not being able to choose their desired major.
As lawmakers said during debate on the bill, it is impossible for anyone to know which degrees could be impacted, but they expressed their concerns about the idea of doing it.
"It is not our job to penalize them for ... majoring in something that the system says does not warrant them a job," said Senate Education Committee Chairman Shevrin Jones, D-West Park.
Jones also noted that Baxley's sociology degree from Florida State University didn't lead him to a job in the field.
"You are a funeral home director and no one told you that this is what you should do and this is the direction you should go in. No, because no one interfered with what God wanted us to do," Jones said.
Baxley later earned an associate degree in funeral services at Miami-Dade College.
Democrats were not alone in their hesitation over the proposal.

Sen. Jennifer Bradley, a Fleming Island Republican, also was concerned about creating such a list. She voted in favor of the measure but said she believes parents should be the ones having conversations with their kids about their passions and career goals.
"I just disagree with the idea that the state gets to decide that dream," said Bradley, a mother of three.
Sen. Travis Hutson, R-St. Augustine, raised concerns about people who make up their own majors with the school's approval, and how they would be impacted. Baxley did not have answers for what would happen under that scenario.
"I agree with the intent that you have," Hutson told Baxley, "and I hope you will work with the process to get it in a lot better posture."
In a letter sent to Senate Education Committee members on Monday, Baxley said his hope is that "the research will show that all, or most degrees our institutions of higher learning are offering DO lead to jobs."
"But if there are degrees out there that don't, I believe we have a moral obligation to let the student know," he said.
Baxley sent the letter after his bill was suddenly pulled from the committee agenda last week amid growing opposition from student groups. Other changes in the bill included pushing back the start date of the new scholarship rules one year, until 2023-24.
MORE DATA ON JOBS, STUDENT DEBT
The bill also was altered to require the Board of Governors to develop an online dashboard featuring data on median salary, average student loan debt and debt-to-income ratio for different types of areas of study. Some speakers said the universities already provide this information.
Baxley downplayed that the measure is designed to save the state money, as the state faces budget constraints due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill analysis, however, says the impact on state funding starting on 2022-23 is expected to be an indeterminate "net positive to the state budget."
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article249979249.html 4/8
3/18/2021 Florida Senate Republicans advance Bright Futures redesign I Miami Herald
"I don't know that we will save a dime," Baxley told senators on Tuesday. "We are not projecting how much more or how much less will be spent, we are redesigning the program to connect the world of work and the world of education."
The program, which distributed $618 million in scholarships in the 2019-20 fiscal year, is funded by the Florida Lottery. The Legislature sold the lottery on the promise it would go to education, and Bright Futures was created to spend that money.
The Legislature has tinkered with Bright Futures many times before. Changes have been big and small, and stretch back decades — and some tweaks have been recycled over the years.
For instance, giving full Bright Futures scholarships only to students who get into professions in which there are shortages is not a new concept. Two decades ago, former Florida House Speaker Tom Feeney said it would be a good idea to do so to fill teaching and nursing jobs.
Baxley also is proposing language that, if approved, would no longer guarantee Bright Futures awards would cover 75% or 100% of students' tuition and fees. Instead, the award amount would be set in the state budget.
The exact same language was approved by lawmakers in 2012, a few years after the Great Recession. Then, in 2018, the Legislature restored the top- and second-level awards to once again cover what is currently in state law.
The fate of the measure remains murky — and not just because of the backlash. The House has no companion bills, and education leaders in the chamber are not focused on the issue.
"I haven't been working on anything related to Bright Futures," House Education and Employment Committee Chairman Chris Latvala said in an interview. "It's not anything I'm really focused on."

VIEWPOINT To improve workforce, business must expand apprenticeships
MIAMI TODAY WEEK OF THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2021
While so many of us are awaiting our first or second vaccine inoculation, Miami's entrepre-neurial ecosystem has already received three shots in the arm.
First, last Decem-ber there was Mi-ami Mayor Francis Suarez's "How can I help?" Twitter response to a query regarding bringing Silicon Valley to our city. These four words generated over 2_ million organic impressions.
Then there is the Knight Foundation's $10 million gift to FlU's School of Computing and Information Sciences to develop technical talent at scale to meet
The Writer Jerry Haar is a professor of interna-
tional business at Florida International University and a member of the working group on Work and Entrepreneurship of the Council on Competitiveness in Washington, DC.
the demands of industry and Miamians seeking to advance their tech skills.
Finally, in late February county Mayor Daniella Levine Cava launched a new economic development initiative — RE-NEW305 — to build up workers and businesses in the county and recruited SoftBank International CEO Marcelo Claure, developer Armando Codina, and former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine to extend the development work of the Beacon Council.
Within the competitive environment of urban economic development, our Achil-les' heel always has been, or at least has been thought to be, "human capital." As with politics, perception is 90% of real-ity, Believe me, the human capital and the talent are here; regrettably, too many of our companies here and out of state do - nof bother to look hard enough.
All should recognize that we are in dire need of further building, maintaining and expanding a workforce to sustain a com-petitive advantage in our prime industries, especially knowledge-based ones. Outside of formal schooling, be it high school, two-year college, university or voc-tech schools, two excellent vehicles for improv-ing the competitiveness of our workforce are internships and apprenticeships.
The former is plentiful and growing each year as more and more young people seek part-time work experience and companies
require a cost-effective means of supple-menting their labor force. Interns gain actual work experience and leverage the internship for post-graduation job oppor-tunities. It enriches their rdsumds, it gives them a taste for the kind of work they may be contemplating, and it may boost their chances for a full-time position.
The Beacon Council's Talent Develop-ment Network (TDN) is illustrative. Part-nering with our local universities, TDN's portal statistics presently have a registry of 2,733 students and 522 employers.
The downside of internships is that far too many are "occupational one-night stands" — there is no long-term commit-ment, expectations are misaligned, and the overall experience can be disappointing or forgettable. Apprenticeships, on the other hand, are in almost all cases a win-win situation for employer and employee (for that's what an apprentice is).
One can boldly assert that apprentice-ships are the coin of the realm for work-force development, offering substantial benefits to both workers and business.
For workers it is -a learn-as-you-earn model — real jobs — and a commitment, from the employer where the business can impart the specific knowledge and tools it needs, tailored to the firm's corporate culture. Additionally, while most appren-ticeships do not require a college degree, apprenticeship training can earn college credit in many instances.
Unquestionably, apprenticeships are an invaluable tool for developing a com-petitive workforce as they benefit both companies and workers and provide a pathway to middle-class jobs for those without a four-year college degree. In actuality, Miami Dade College offers sev-eral apprenticeship programs, including one for those seeking to become customs
brokers, under the tutelage of the Florida Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association.
As more and more companies and work-ers flee East Coast locales, in particular, due to high taxes (income and property), crime, poor governance, and bad weather, Sunbelt states and municipalities will benefit increasingly.
With this opportunity at our doorstep, it's time for all businesses to get actively involved, not just our industry leaders. That means a more concerted effort to hire interns and give them meaningful work and to actually fund apprenticeships. Sunshine and the absence of a state income tax are not the magic formula to build and sustain competitiveness, human capital is.
The private sector should buy into the idea that we aspire to be one community with one major goal —to develop and sus-tain a quality workforce with competitive skills, high levels of productivity, and a sense of ethics and professionalism. To do less is to fall behind.

The program will feature live performances from students at the University of Miami, Florida International University, and Miami Dade College, while high school students will perform online through big screens, in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines.
The ArtsFest will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pinecrest Gardens, 11000 Red Road.
The Pinecrest City Music Project is behind the event. The organization was founded in 2018 as a community orchestra incorporating public schools in the Palmetto area. As it grew, the nonprofit established music and mentorship programs with more than 500 K-12 students across five Miami-Dade public schools.
"It will be a symposium of public school visual and performing arts programs throughout Miami Dade County," said Daniel Solomon, the project's executive and musical director. "This is an opportunity for visual and performing arts programs to showcase their work to the community in a very family-oriented, COVID- friendly environment."
Last year, the county's Department of Cultural Affairs issued a grant to the music program.
"The 2021 South Dade School Arts Fest was selected through the Department of Cultural Affairs' competitive grants program that recognizes outstanding work in the arts in our community," said Michael Spring, director of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. "The extraordinary initiative demonstrated by Daniel Solomon and the Pinecrest City Music Project earned the recognition and county grant support.
"Through open, family-oriented events, the festival is an outstanding way to highlight the transformative effect that the arts have on kids' lives," Spring added. "The parade, performances and displays are testimony to the power of the arts to make education exciting and meaningful to students."
Although K-12 students are only able to perform online, university bands will perform at the event.

"We are fortunate to have the support of college performing artists — most of whom are Dade schools alumni — to spread the positive influence of the arts on our local community," Solomon said.
Festival attendees can create a mural from an open canvas, collect objects in nature for an art sensory project and use recycled materials to make musical instruments.
The program also will be live-streamed.
"We are calling this a unification effort. It is a way to become immersed once again in the cultural arts," said Solomon "We want to be able to bond our community, which has been in isolation and separated for so long, through the arts."
The festival will require everyone to wear masks and to stay 6 feet apart. People's temperature will be taken at the door.

Internationally renowned superstar soprano Renee Fleming, one of the most honored singers of our time, will make her first live outdoor appearance since the pandemic began, singing at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami on Saturday, March 20, 2021. The U. S. National Medal of the Arts recipient and four-time GRAMMY winner will perform with the all-student Frost Symphony Orchestra led by world-renowned maestro Gerard Schwarz. Her appearance is the highlight of the festival line-up, which features talented Frost School students performing in various music ensembles of jazz, pop, classical, Latin music, and more, led by the school's award-winning faculty. A talented Frost School alumnus will close out the night with a special set. Frost Music Fest '21 is open only to University of Miami students, faculty, and staff and UHealth frontline workers.
The first live festival of its kind will take place outdoors on the University of Miami Coral Gables Campus and will follow strict COVID-19 safety protocols, including limiting attendance, mandatory use of face coverings, physical distancing, and completion of a health questionnaire by all guests and staff at the event. The festival was inspired by Frost School Dean Shelton G. Berg, who wanted to create an unforgettable memory for University of Miami students and frontline workers.
When asked about participating in the festival, Renee Fleming stated, "I'm so happy to be able to join this outdoor festival at the Frost School of Music. It's always a joy to make music with Gerard Schwarz. And I can't wait to perform with these gifted students. It's the resilience of young musicians like these that has really kept me hopeful through the pandemic."
"As we approach a year of living through the pandemic, our students miss the joy of performing for live audiences," Berg said. "We have had great success with our COVID-19 safety measures and have decided to bring music back live in a spectacular way —and it doesn't get any bigger than performing with Renee Fleming."
Schwarz, who is a Distinguished Professor of Music Frost Symphony Orchestra music director, stated, "This is a very exciting and important moment for our school. Having Renee Fleming choose our Frost Symphony Orchestra as her very first live orchestral performance since the pandemic began is not only a testament to our gifted student orchestra, it also confirms the commitment of our school to creating safe environments that support the highest level of experience and education one can receive."

About Renee Fleming:
Renee Fleming is one of the most highly acclaimed singers of our time, performing on the stages of the world's greatest opera houses and concert halls. Honored with four Grammy® awards and the U.S. National Medal of Arts, Renee has sung for momentous occasions from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. In 2014, she brought her voice to vast new audience as the first classical artist ever to sing The Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl. On Jan. 20, Renee sang at a private Mass attended by President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, along with congressional leaders of both parties, prior to the Presidential Inauguration.
Earning 17 Grammy nominations, Renee has recorded everything from complete operas and song recitals to jazz and indie rock. Her voice is featured on the soundtracks of Best Picture Oscar winners The Shape of Water and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
In May, Renee launched Music and Mind LIVE, a weekly web series exploring the intersection of music and arts with human health and the brain. In 19 episodes, the show amassed more than 650,000 views, from 70 countries. Renee was inspired to launch the series by the Sound Health initiative she leads as Artistic Advisor to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in partnership with the NIH and the NEA. She has given presentations with scientists and practitioners on the connection of arts and health around the world.
Renee's other awards include the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, Germany's Cross of the Order of Merit, and France's Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur. www.reneefleming.com
About the Travis Quinn Opportunity Scholarship Fund

It was named in memory of Travis Quinn, a gifted young musician and educator following his untimely tragic passing in May 2020.
Travis Quinn was a beloved role model and mentor for under privileged aspiring young musicians and personified the mission of this scholarship fund. Born and raised in Miami, his love of music began at a very young age at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center in Liberty City. He eventually became band director of their Heritage Band, an instrumental music apprentice program for youth ages 9 — 17. For several years, Travis was also a member of the Miami Heat Street Band and went on to become their band director in 2019. A multi-instrumentalist, his music education spanned years as he navigated as a freelance musician and educator in between attending various higher education schools including FAMU and Miami Dade College. His road to the Frost School began in 2015 as a member of Frost Band of the Hour and in 2019 he auditioned to attend for acceptance to the 2020/21 school year. The fund has evolved and will continue to grow in his honor. It was made possible by generous separate donations from Kent Savage and Carmine Parente. For more information go to https://support.frost.miami.edu/giving-Portals/index.html.

In partnership with Arts4All Florida, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs' All Kids Included initiative presents A New Definition of Dance: Bridging Community, Culture and Communication Through Dance performed by AHUJDC.

To raise Deaf cultural awareness, American Sign Language and open captions will be featured throughout the performance. The company hopes to provide insight into the challenges of being Deaf/hard of hearing, while proving the arts have the power to connect people and bring joy to all. The performance also seeks to break down negative stereotypes of people with disabilities.
A New Definition of Dance: Bridging Community, Culture and Communication Through Dance is the culminating event following Hunter's six-month contract working with Arts4All Florida. Prior to the WALLCAST, Hunter will lead a virtual master class with high school and college students from Miami's New World School of the Arts.

COVID-19 vaccine rules can be confusing in South Florida. Here's the latest news on where shots are available and who is eligible:
WHAT'S NEW TODAY?
• A South Florida baby was born with COVID-19 antibodies just weeks after her mother was vaccinated against the disease. Doctors believe she's among the first babies with some protection thanks to the vaccine.
• The federally run Miami Dade College north campus vaccine site and two FEMA pop-ups will no longer have Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine until further notice. The sites will continue to offer the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which requires two doses, several weeks apart.
• Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava on Wednesday received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at the county-run Tropical Park vaccination site. She held off on her vaccination after testing positive for COVID-19 in late November.
• FEMA pop-up vaccination sites in North Miami Beach and Miami Springs are moving and will reopen Thursday at Charles Hadley Park in Liberty City and at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center in Cutler Bay. The sites will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day until March 23.
WHO CAN GET COVID-19 VACCINES IN FLORIDA AND WHO CAN'T? DO YOU NEED PROOF OF RESIDENCY?
Florida is giving vaccines to healthcare workers, long-term care residents and staff and people 60 and older. Sworn law enforcement officers, firefighters and K-12 school personnel ages 50 and older are also eligible for the vaccine. Anyone under 60 who a physician determines is "extremely vulnerable" to COVID-19 because of a preexisting medical condition can also get the vaccine.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article249997154.html 2/15
3/18/2021 Florida COVID-19 vaccine live updates: baby with antibodies? I Miami Herald
Keep in mind that people with high-risk conditions will need their physician to sign an "at-risk" form before they can get the vaccine. The form can be downloaded at https://floridahealthcovidl9.gov/. Some hospitals may not accept the form because they have their own system in place or have additional requirements.
It's also worth noting that pre-K-12 school personnel and childcare workers can also get the vaccine at federal-run sites and pharmacies across the state.
Only Florida residents and snowbirds can get the vaccine, but there is no county residency requirement in place. That means that if you live in Miami-Dade, you can get the vaccine in Broward, or vice versa. You will need to show proof of Florida residency.
For snowbirds or part-time residents, the proof needs to be in the form of two documents such as a lease agreement and a utility bill no more than two months old, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
Anyone else who lives in another state or country can no longer get the vaccine in Florida. Nonresidents who have already received the first dose in Florida will still be able to get the second dose.
The change was made to curb vaccine tourism, or people who travel from another state or country to get the vaccine in Miami or another part of the state.

COVID-19 vaccine is in high demand. While we can't guarantee you'll get an appointment, here are five tips that can help make the search easier. BY MATIAS J. OCNER
WHO SHOULD NOT GET A COVID-19 VACCINE?
People who have had a severe allergic reaction to ingredients in the vaccine or had a severe reaction after a previous dose. Ingredients of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the Moderna vaccine and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can be found on FDA.gov.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED THE COVID-19 VACCINE IN FLORIDA?
According to the state's Tuesday COVID-19 vaccine report, 110,532 people have completed the Johnson and Johnson single dose vaccine and 2,321,008 people have completed the two-dose series of either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.
Of those who have been fully vaccinated, 265,495 were Miami-Dade residents, 208,847 were Broward residents, 232,171 were Palm Beach residents and 9,531 were Monroe residents.

WHAT COVID-19 VACCINES ARE AVAILABLE IN FLORIDA? HOW MANY DOSES DO I NEED?
Florida has three vaccines available: Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
The Pfizer vaccine requires two shots, three weeks apart, and can be given to people 16 and older. Moderna's vaccine requires two shots, one month apart, and
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article249997154.html 5/15

can be given to people 18 and older. Johnson & Johnson's is a single dose and can be given to people 18 and older.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are not interchangeable, however, which means that if your first shot was the Pfizer vaccine, your second shot cannot be the Moderna vaccine, according to the CDC.
COVID-19 VACCINATION SITES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

The following pharmacies offer COVID-19 vaccines in select stores by appointment-only:

On Thursday, the two sites, operated by FEMA, will be set up in Charles Hadley Park, 1350 NW 50th St., and at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, 10950 SW 211th St., according to FEMA.
The sites will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day until March 23. Each location can administer 500 doses a day. These are also walk-up sites that do not need an appointment. This will be the third week and third pair of FEMA satellite sites in Miami-Dade County.
WHO CAN GET VACCINATED AT FEMA SITES?
FEMA sites will give vaccines to seniors 60 and older; healthcare workers with direct patient contact; law enforcement and firefighters ages 5Q and older; and people with high-risk medical conditions deemed by a physician to be "extremely vulnerable" to COVID-19, with a physician-signed at-risk form that can be found on the Florida Department of Health website.
Pre-k-12th grade school employees and child-care workers 18 and older can also get the vaccine.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OLD FEMA SATELLITE SITES?
The previous satellite sites in North Miami Beach's Allen Park Community Center, at 1770 NE 162nd St., and Miami Springs Community Center, at 1401 Westward Dr., will shut down after closing on Wednesday. They are expected to reopen later for residents to get their second doses.
FEMA's main South Florida hub will remain at Miami Dade College's north campus near Opa-locka.
On Tuesday, MDC North administered 2,984 vaccines, Allen Park, 505 and Miami Springs, 736.

After months of advocating for school personnel to be prioritized for the vaccine and finally getting
the green light for eligibility, leaders are doing everything in their power to increase access.
Congresswoman Frederica Wilson hosted an event at the Juanita Mann Health Center at 2520 NW
75th St. on Monday, where teachers involved in the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project she
founded were vaccinated. The dropout prevention and mentoring program is where Wilson started,
but not where she'll end.

"One of our goals is to have all of our teachers, school principals, teacher aids and anyone who
works in the school vaccinated," said Wilson at the news conference while sharing her plans to
achieve immunity by increasing vaccine access. "That has to be a priority."

Representatives from UTD said their goal was to encourage educators to get vaccinated in support
of reopening schools without fear of employees becoming severely ill from the coronavirus.
Wilson also revealed that Title I funding in the sum of $1 billion dollars may be distributed to M-
DCPS to close the achievement gap caused by the pandemic.
All Jessie Trice Community Health Center locations and sites will offer vaccines to educators by appointment, but individuals must meet state requirements. FEMA sites like Miami Dade College's
North Campus were also suggested for educators and school personnel looking to get vaccinated.
"Most of the people getting vaccinated at the federal site at Miami Dade College did not look like
me," said Wilson with disappointment in her voice after working with the Biden administration to
secure the site. "They look like somebody else who knew [they] had vaccines. When we fight for
you, you have to take advantage, you cannot sit back and complain. Do not use access as an
excuse."

`Quo Vadis, Aida?' Wins Top Prize at Miami Film Festival

Jasmila Zbania's film based on the true events of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia, "Quo
Vadis, Aida?," took home the top prize at the Miami Film Festival.
The Balkan war drama earned the $25,000 Knight Marimbas Award for its richness and
resonance for cinema's future, in addition to the Rene Rodriguez Critics Award.
Representing Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is also shortlisted for the Oscars and is
nominated for the Independent Spirit Awards and British Academy Film Awards.
The 38th year of the Miami Dade College festival ran March 5-14 both virtually and in-
theater. Making its North American premiere, Roberto Salinas' documentary "Cuban
Dancer" won the Knight Made in MIA Feature Film Award. The film earned the $45,000
prize for its use of setting in its story about a Cuban ballet dancer's culture shock upon
relocating to Florida. The jury singled out Edson Jean's "Ludi" for a special mention calling
out its "beautiful filmmaking that captures the truisms and mores of the Haitian
community in Miami, succinctly and tenderly, that moved all of us."
The festival's other feature awards went to Sabrina Doyle's "Lorelei" and Henry Rincon's
"The City of Wild Beasts." Doyle's working-class fable won the $10,000 Jordan Ressler
First Feature Award in recognition of her feature narrative film debut. Rincon also

"Calladita," "For Rosa," "The Insomnia Plague" and "The Name of the Son."
Looking at short film categories, "The Present," directed by Farah Nabulsi, won the Miami
Intl. Short Film Award. Brit Fryer and Caro Hernandez's "Caro Comes Out" received the
Knight Made in MIA Short Film Award. "The Saint of the Impossible" was a runner-up in
the trailer category. The poster prize went to "Apples," by Christos Nikos, while "1991"
was a runner-up.
Applauding the power of music in film, "Mogul Mowgli" composer Paul Corley earned the
$5,000 Alacran Music in Film Award. The British drama starring Riz Ahmed is particularly
carried by music, given it centers on a punk rock drummer who becomes deaf.
The Miami Film Festival previously named "Asi en la Tierra" by Joel Vazquez Cardenas as
the winner of the $5,000 WarnerMedia Ibero-American Short Film Award and will
announce winners for documentary achievement and the audience awards for feature
and short on Tuesday.

Quo Vadis, Aida? Miami Film Fest Winner gets Oscar nod
Saga of Bosnian War is nominated for Best International Feature

interpreter torn between family and duty
Director and Writer Jasmila Zbanic's troubling film Quo Vadis, Aida? (Where are you going, Aida?, or, poetically, ""Whither goest thou?") is the inner of the just completed Miami Film Festival's Knight Marimbas Award and is also nominated in the International Feature category for the 2021
Oscars.
Taking place in the Bosnian War, primarily between the Serbs and the Croats in the 1990s, this dramatization of real-life events is a cautionary tale of a region largely at war with itself.
War in the Balkans is often used as a figure of speech when describing irreconcilable conflict. Quo Vadis, Aida gives it renewed meaning and urgency.
ida Selmanagic (Jasna Duricic) is the UN interpreter inside a refugee camp in the small town of Srebrenica at the height of the war in July 1995. Hers is a thankless job, attempting vainly to translate vital communications between her half-hearted and self-interested UN protectors and the brutal ccupying Serbian army. Each day, leaders of the terror force arrives with their heavily armed minions to terrorize, brutalize and conduct genocide gainst the camp's largely Muslim inhabitants, which include her husband and two teen-aged sons.
very word Aida utters must be carefully weighed, as lives hang in the balance. Even the slightest misunderstanding, or change in the terms of greement, often made on the spot, can result in life or death for those inside the camp.
er sense of futility is palpable. As she attempts to play the Catcher In The Rye, the life's blood of those she is sworn to protect rains through her ngers like so many grains of sand.
ida is also torn between her loyalty to those in the camp, and those of her long-suffering, but loving husband Nihad (a sympathetic and quietly heroic zudin Bajrovic) and her terrified sons Hamdija and Sejo (Boris Ler and Dino Bajrovic).
of only are the lives of the captive refugees on the line, but her family's as well. Instead of offering shelter, the UN camp becomes a crucible of certainty and death.
banic's brutally honest film takes us directly into the vortex of this swirling hurricane of blood. We witness first hand the camp's gut-wrenching orror through the unflinching eye of cinematographer Christine A. Maier. The haunting musical score by Antoni Komasa- Lazarkiewicz and taut film diting of Jaroslaw Kaminski, heighten the dramatic edge of this suspenseful film. The smell of death is palpable in the Production Design by Hannes
Salat and Art Direction by Zelika Buric and Sabine Engelberg, makes this a difficult film to watch, yet, you can't take your eyes off of it. Suspenseful ling in the screenplay by director Zbanic further adds to the feeling that the events are happening in real time and in the present tense. The overall
effect is riveting.
here are vivid, realistic performances throughout. Were this any other type of film, Djuricic's dramatic turn would deserve a Best Actress nod.
ohan Heldenbergh as the UN commander Colonel Karremans is soullessly dispassionate. His second-in-command Major Franken (Raymond Thiry), hares his stark realization that Europe has literally left them at the mercy of a homicidal maniac. Boris Isakovic is the sad*stic Serbian General Ratko
iadic, who would just as soon hand you a chocolate bar as shoot you.

3/18/2021 Quo Vadis, Aida? Miami Film Fest Winner gets Oscar nod I The Times Weekly I Community Newspaper in Chicagoland Metropolitan Area
Quo Vadis, Aida? Is based on events that happened in Eastern Europe in the waning days of the last century. It is a painful reminder of the West's collective foreign policy failures and our country's own benign complicity in the slaughter of an entire population.
The fact that it is getting such resounding praise and attention from the Miami Film Festival and the Academy is perhaps due to the fact that Zbanic's film is eerily prescient of the world we now live in. It is a transcendent tale of heroism and hope in the face of certain death.
The film also challenges our willingness to accept a world where the fate of Democracy and the fact of our mere existence are threatened by the forces of militarized evil. The Dayton Accords may have brought peace to Bosnia, but its rivers of blood still run deep. The film is available now on all On Demand and Video Streaming platforms. Please see it immediately.

The Bosnian film won the Festival's top prize, the $ 25,000 Knight MARIMBAS Award, in an international competition for new narrative feature films that "best exemplify the richness and resonance for the future of cinema."
The Bosnian film was also selected by film critics as the winner of this year's Rene Rodriguez Critics Award, the contest said in a statement.
Zbanic, who was twice nominated for the recent BAFTA British Film Awards, leads this film about the plight during the war of a UN translator in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"Quo Vadis, Aida?" She is among those shortlisted for the Oscar for international film, and this Monday it will be known if she is among the five finalists.
"The Cuban Dancer," in which Salinas addresses the migration between Cuba and the United States as seen through the eyes of an emigrant dancer, won the $ 45,000 Knight Made in MIA feature film award.
The award is given to a feature film that has a substantial portion of its content in South Florida and that best uses its story and theme to achieve "universal resonance."
"Lorelei," a working-class fable directed by Sabrina Doyle, won the $ 10,000 Jordan Ressler First Feature Award.
Henry RincOn's Colombian film, "La Ciudad de las Fieras", which premiered worldwide at the festival, which this year had a hybrid format due to the pandemic, won the Ibero-American Feature Film Award, also valued at $ 10,000.
Another of the featured films at this Florida festival and one that is among the semifinalists for the Hollywood Academy Awards is "The Present", a short film directed by Farah Nabulsi, who won the Miami International Short Film Award.

Afrobeta 'BirthRight' Documentary Follows Duo's Journey Back To Cuba
CULTURE I By Humberto Guide March 17, 2021
Afrobeta and filmmaker Jayme Kaye Gershen premiered their documentary film
BirthRight as the closing showcase for the 2021 Miami Film Festival.
Birthright follows Miami-bred electro-pop musicians, Afrobeta, as they are invited to
perform in Havana, Cuba. The duo's desire to visit their parents' homeland ignites a
surreal journey into who they are, where they come from, and what being Cuban really
means.
Jayme Kaye Gershen is an Emmy-award winning filmmaker based in Miami, FL. Through
the use of humor, parallels and universal themes, her work sheds a surprisingly relatable
light on issues that at first glance may seem unfamiliar.
Check out Afrobeta's appearance on LatiNation, where the duo gives us a peek into the
landmark film:

3/18/2021 Vanesa Gonzalez protagoniza "Realidad virtual", un filme de terror con aires clasicos I Espectaculos
Vanesa estudiO teatro desde los 12 arios, a los 15 ingres6 a la escuela de Lito Cruz y continuo sus estudios con Raul Serrano y Helena Tritek, a quien considera una maestra en su vida.
En esta entrevista con Los Andes, cuenta algunos detalles del filme que estrena hoy.
- Ciaando se hizo la filmacion?
- La hicimos hace dos arios y medio, asi que no sabiamos si iban a poder realizar la ediciOn en cuarentena, y de todo eso se ocup6 Hernan (Findling) asi que ni bien se abrieron los cines dijo "iestrenemos!"
- JDe que va la trama y quienes esti!) en la pelicula?
- Es una peli de terror muy clasica. Hernan es fanatico del genero lo cual me parece un dato importante. Ni bien me conto la pelicula me di cuenta de su pasiOn por el genero y cuando la lei vi un montOn de guirios del lenguaje del terror y de otras peliculas.
Es un equipo de cine que decide hacer una pelicula. Mi personaje se llama Guadalupe, y tiene un hermano del cual esta a cargo. Como la pelicula es a traves de la mirada de mi personaje, ella queda embaucada en una gran trampa porque el director de la pelicula es una persona ambiciosa y para que el filme pueda tener exito hace un plan macabro alrededor de lo virtual.

- Quienes te acomparian en escena?
- En la pelicula trabajan Fede Bal, Christian Sancho, Guillermo Berthold, Cesar Bord6n, Santiago Magarifios, Sofia Del Tuffo y Francisco Gonzalez Gil.
- Ciii.no fue el rodaje?
- Nos divertimos mucho. El hecho de que sea una pelicula de terror te invita a meterte en la ficciOn porque no es una historia de la vida cotidiana ni suceden cosas parecidas a nuestra vida, entonces te invita a jugar. Y lo otro que sucede es que a medida que avanza el rodaje, todos los personajes empiezan a estar heridos, averiados y uno va a comer o tiene tiempos de espera con todo eso maquillado en el cuerpo y es bastante gracioso.
- Que expectativas tiene el equipo de trabajo con este estreno?
- Me parece que es una pelicula que para el ambito del terror y los amantes del cine de genero tiene un gran atractivo. Creo que los recursos y elementos que usa Hernan para contar la peli funcionan muy bien. El genero de terror no es

Lo que hizo Hernan fue aplicar mucha velocidad en las escenas y con dialogos muy rapidos, mas parecidos a las peliculas de terror americanas, y de repente el impacto. Para mi va a funcionar bien.

Miami.- Myra M. Medina es profesora titular en el Departmento de World Languages del Miami Dade College (MDC), Recinto Norte, Miami, Florida. Durante su carrera como docente, se ha especializado en ingles y espaliol. En sus funciones administrativas, fue jefa del Departamento Language Studies en el Recinto Medical Center (MDC) y Vice Decana Interina para Asuntos Academicos en el Recinto Kendall (MDC). Fue miembro del jurado de los prestigiosos premios Silver Knight Awards otorgados por The Miami Herald en Ia categoria de Lenguas Extranjeras.
Tras mas de 55 &los viviendo en Estados Unidos sigue aferrada a su cultura y sus raices dominicanas, "Mis hermanos nunca emigraron de RD y eso ha ayudado a que yo haya podido mantener ese vinculo con mi pais, al que tanto quiero. Ademas, como parte de mi rutina diaria, acostumbro a leer algunos periodicos de RD", dijo Medina.
LlegO a Rhode Island cuando apenas tenia 11 afios, fue su primer viaje sola. Recuerda que tras salir del aeropuerto sus primos le esperaban en Ia terminal para Ilevarla junto a su madre.
"Para mi, es un recuerdo agridulce. Estaba acostumbrada a ir a un colegio de monjas donde solamente estudiaban nifias. En EE.UU., tuve que ir a una escuela pilblica a la que asistian hembras y varones", recuerda Ia dominicana.
A pesar de no hablar el idioma, Medina recuerda que sus maestras la ayudaron a superar esa barrera al igual que sus comparieros, sin embargo, su adaptaciOn fue un tanto dificil.
"Me daba vergiienza tener que salir de la casa con una bolsa de ropa para ir a una lavanderia. No estaba acostumbrada a eso. El frio tambien era terrible. A veces,

minutos. Los dias eran cortos y carentes de sol", dijo Medina.
Para ella, al igual que muchos latinos y dominicanos en EE.UU., Ia pandemia del COVID-19 fue un duro golpe econOmico y social, pero como profesora ha sido atIn mas retador, "en lo profesional ha sido un period° de estres. Como profesora de un College, hemos tenido que depender mas de Ia tecnologia", recuerda.
"Algunos estudiantes no quieren ponerse en camara y como uno no los ve, pueden estar haciendo cualquier otra cosa. Tannbien esta el problema que tienen poca privacidad en sus casas y esto les quita Ia concentraciOn en Ia clase. Cuando vamos at aula a enseriar es con un grupo limitado de estudiantes, los demas se conectan por Internet. Este formato es muy estresante ya que tengo que poner atenciOn a los que estan de manera presencial y a los que estan conectados en linea simultaneamente. Ha sido un ano Ileno de retos en la enserianza y pienso que los estudiantes han perdido mucho", expres6 Medina.
Entre otras actividades, la Dra. Medina ha publicado en ingles y espanol, ha colaborado con casas editoriales en los EEUU, siendo co-autora de libros de texto, revisando libros para publicacion, escribiendo y coordinando material pedag6gico en ingles y espanol para portales educativos web.

Como escritora, su trabajo en ambos idiomas ha sido publicado en varios medios en Espana, Estados Unidos, Mexico y Reptblica Dominicana. La Dra. Medina ha realizado presentaciones a nivel nacional e internacional en temas relacionados a Ia adquisicion del lenguaje, metodologia de la ensenanza de idiomas y literatura en espanol.
