    At this moment, earning a @NewhouseSU Master of Science in Communications, grateful for the generations before me: their sacrifices, their lessons in hard work, patience, and perseverance that paved the way for this achievement. Highest GPA of my graduate cohort. #SUGrad21 1/6

    12:27pm: Extended an invitation to Miami Commissioner Alex Díaz de la Portilla to address you, the public he is elected to serve, about allegations facing. He chose to dodge and deflect. Within two hours of this video FDLE would confirm he turned himself in at their Miami Office.

    The sounds of #LittleHaiti as #Biden supporters wait for the arrival of the former Vice President across the street from the Little Haiti Cultural Complex. This will be Biden’s first trip back to Miami since becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee. #Election2020 #Florida

    This 👇 is the impact of #gunviolence. Powerful words from a mom channeling her pain into purpose. LISTEN 👇 to Omorose Butler as she rests one hand on a box containing her murdered son’s ashes. “This is not illness, this is a preventable death.” @MomsDemand @Bullets_4_Life

    Speaking with Dr. Armen Henderson it is interesting to note how he approaches his brief detention by @MiamiPD from a physician’s lens, concerned that the Sgt. wasn’t wearing a #mask. You will hear more from him + @Jcolina67 coming up on @WPLGLocal10 at 6p local10.com/news/local/202…

    He was born on a 118 degree Arizona summer day in 2008…and meeting him three months later, was love at first sight. He passed in his sleep tonight at home. 😔🐾 🧵
