  • The Voice of Alonzo Mourning
    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode, we welcome NBA legend Alonzo Mourning. While he was with the Miami Heat for a total of 26 years, I know him best as one of Miami's biggest advocates, the force behind Overtown Youth Center, and a developer of affordable housing in Overtown. On this episode, you will learn how he went from one of 49 kids in foster care to basketball player to philanthropist and what drives him to give back to youth and the community he loves so much.

  • The Voices of Edson Abbott and Omar Ayala
    May 30 2025

    May is recognized in Florida as Law Enforcement Appreciation Month, and with recent local celebrations, we’re taking a moment to honor those who serve. In this episode, I am joined by Sergeant at Arms Edson Abbott and Omar Ayala, two dedicated officers raised in Miami's District 5. We discuss their personal journeys, what inspired them to join law enforcement, and their efforts to encourage local youth. They also shed light on the critical role Sergeants at Arms play in supporting elected officials and why that relationship matters. Most importantly, we reflect on the deep sense of camaraderie that exists within law enforcement—how that shared bond, rooted in mutual respect and support, helps officers serve with integrity and strength.

  • The Voices of Hezekiah Walker and Jacky Clark Chisholm
    Apr 25 2025

    In a powerful tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we bring you a special episode taped at the Adrienne Arsht Center during our annual Reclaim the Dream event—held each year on April 4 at 6:01 p.m., the same moment Dr. King was assassinated. The event honors his enduring legacy and reminds us to continue that legacy. This year’s celebration featured soul-stirring performances from gospel greats and Grammy Award-winners Hezekiah Walker and The Clark Sisters. Join us as we sit down with Hezekiah Walker and Jacky Clark Chisholm for a heartfelt conversation on music, faith, and the ongoing work of justice and unity.
