Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami’s Post

Introducing #BBBSMiami Senior Director of People & Culture, Juileen H.! 👏 What do you love most about Miami? “I love the diversity of cultures in Miami, and more than anything, I love its geography, which provides proximity to the Caribbean.” How do you like to spend your weekends? “I love gardening, and it’s something I do regularly. Watching plants grow and evolve represents the intersection of life and art for me, and it also relaxes me. Going to concerts has become one of my new favorite activities, and I definitely enjoy spending time with family and friends.” Can you share something about yourself that would surprise most people? “People are often surprised by how observant I am.” What do you enjoy most about working for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami? “I love the impact this organization has on the lives of children. Growing up without mentors, I was personally affected, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible difference that positive mentors can make in enriching the lives of our youth.”

Due to the impending weather conditions caused by Hurricane Milton, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Big Golf Classic presented by Adidas. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our guests, sponsors, and participants is our top priority. We are currently working on rescheduling the event and will announce the new date as soon as possible. We are grateful for your understanding and continued support, and we look forward to celebrating together soon! Please stay tuned for further updates. In the meantime, stay safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. 

Happy Work Anniversary to our amazing team members! 🎉 Your dedication and hard work make a difference every day. Thank you for all that you do. Karina Shadeed Lauren Merrill Renata Munoz Janet Hertillien

Introducing Cristian LaCapra, CPWA®, BBBS Miami Board Member! 👏 What do you love most about Miami? “Miami is a city like no other. I love the diversity, the vibrant culture, the lifestyle, and the sense of community that permeates every corner. From the beautiful beaches to the dynamic arts, food, and sports scenes, there’s always something happening. It’s a place that celebrates different backgrounds and stories, creating a unique tapestry of experiences. But what I love most about our city is the people – Miami embodies resilience, and that energy is inspiring.” Can you share something about yourself that would surprise most people? “Many people don’t know that my career started in New York, right around the time of 9/11. Experiencing those events firsthand prompted me to reassess what truly matters in life. This reflection ultimately led me back to Miami, and it amplified my commitment to community involvement and giving back.” What’s been the most rewarding part of serving on the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami board? “The most rewarding part of serving on the board of BBBSM has been seeing firsthand the transformative impact that mentorship can have on young people. Knowing that our efforts help guide and inspire the next generation is incredibly fulfilling. Another rewarding aspect has been the camaraderie with other business leaders and volunteers, who are all pulling together for a shared cause. It’s inspiring to see how we can collectively make a difference by supporting youth, mentoring the next generation, and contributing to a brighter future for Miami and the Florida Keys. Working alongside such dedicated individuals to make our community better and better is both humbling and rewarding.” Tune into Cristian's recent feature on The Game Of Life Podcast: https://lnkd.in/eNAktcg2
