The music inspired everything we did. We’re excited that the company has grown and expanded to become more of a lifestyle brand. This way his fans and supporters can truly express themselves from clothing to home décor and more” says CEO and President, Santresa McCarthy. "Santresa, has the vision, drive, and dedication needed to continue to build this brand to the next level. The Fashion Show is designed in a way that will express the core of the Buju Banton brand.

Now is the time to come together and do something powerful through fashion” says Mark Myrie (Buju Banton).

We are also excited about bringing talented, award-winning artists to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the festival that showcases music and the culture and diversity of Miami Gardens. We look forward to celebrating with our residents and people from all over the world on March 12th and 13th,” said Mayor Rodney Harris, City of Miami Gardens. “As a manager, my clients have played this festival several times over the past decade” said Shawn Gee, President of Live Nation Urban, “so when presented with the opportunity to work alongside the city to produce the event this year, I was super excited. Jazz in the Gardens is one of the most important live events in the culture of Jazz & R&B music, globally. Our goal is not only to produce a stellar event, but to let the world know about the hidden gem that City of Miami Gardens has with this event”. ‘We are honored to partners with Mayor Harris and the City of Miami Gardens on the 15th Anniversary of Jazz in the Gardens”, said Brittany Flores, President of Live Nation Florida. “The event is staple here in South Florida and we are beyond excited to help continue the tradition and usher in the next chapter of this amazing event”.

"Storyteller Robert Young will be activating his signature portrait series YOUNG WORLD FACES (as seen at the Pan American Games and El Clasíco Miami) and celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Freetown Reborn, the documentary film and photographs captured in Sierra Leone West Africa."
Headliner Market Group & City of Miami Commissioner Keon Hardemon’s Soul of Basel: The Art Of Conversation at the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater sets the perfect stage for the celebration of these storytelling visual works and Robert Young’s continued mission to bring the world closer together, one nation at a time. As 2019 represents the 400 year anniversary of the first slave ships departing from the west coast of Africa, it is only fitting that images from the region are set to be displayed in Overtown during Art Basel Miami Art Week.

For months, I've been following Honey Uninhibited and loved the images of their menu. Over the weekend, I drove down to the Coral Gables area and stopped by Honey Uninhibited. When entering the restaurant, I was greeted by so many smiling faces willing to assist in any way. As many may know, I'm an extremely picky eater, but I decided to step out of my comfort zone and the food was truly amazing. The services was great as well, the waitress was extremely helpful and patient. |
