We're incredibly proud to announce that our President & CEO, Rodrick Miller was recognized as one of Be Strong International's 2026 Stronger Together Honorees at their annual Hearts in Rhythm event. This honor highlights a fundamental truth about our region's growth: in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving ecosystem like Miami-Dade, cultivating mental, emotional, and social health is more critical now than ever before. Be Strong International operates on a powerful principle: strong families build strong communities. By providing relationship education, fostering emotional resilience, and building healthy support systems, they are creating the essential human infrastructure that keeps our community grounded. This mission directly intersects with the core values of the Miami-Dade Beacon Council. We believe that true economic development is about more than just business expansion and job metrics—it is about empowering equitable growth and taking care of the people of Miami-Dade.

Grateful to The Aspen Institute and Allstate for bringing together such an inspiring group at the 2026 Trust in Practice Summit. The conversations, perspectives, and genuine commitment in the room were a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we choose to lead with trust. I’m especially thankful for the meaningful connections made along the way. To the incredible people I had the pleasure of meeting: - Gabriel Lerner - your joy is truly contagious - Ellah N. - I loved brainstorming and exchanging ideas with you - Alexandra O. Hudson - your presence is powerful; you truly own every space you step into - Sarah Welch - thank you for sharing your wisdom - Bree Jones - keep shining; the legacy you’re building is inspiring - Olajumoke Banjo and Frederick J. Riley - I’m excited for all that’s ahead in the years to come There were so many incredible people in the room (far too many to name), but I’m excited about what we’ll build together and hope our paths cross again soon 🫶🏾 Proud to represent Be Strong International and the impact we are making in communities every day.

A few days ago, I had the honor of attending the annual Heart & Rhythm event by Be Strong International. Grateful to Lesly Simon for the invitation, for the second year in a row, to an evening full of energy, connection, and purpose, a gathering that brought together incredible leaders and supporters and reminded us of the powerful impact this organization has on families and communities they serve. Special recognition to Michelle Shirley for her outstanding leadership and for 21 years of dedication within the organization. The courage to openly share her own challenging childhood and transform that experience into a path of resilience and service to others is truly inspiring. Happy to have been part of such a meaningful evening and to witness the impact being created. #BeStrongInternational #HeartAndRhythm #CommunityImpact #Philanthropy #Miami
