My Miami Story conversations set for October 17

As communities across the nation grapple with an inflammatory racial and political climate, there is an increased need for spaces where people can find common ground through shared experiences and open dialogue. That's a main driver behind The Miami Foundation’s My Miami Story conversations, an effort to get thousands of Miami-Dade County residents to sit down with each other on Tuesday, October 17th, over a meal, snack or cafecito, and share their personal stories about life in the county. By understanding how we each came to this community, why we stay here, what we value about it and what how we can make it better, we uncover the common narrative about what matters to us as Miamians and connect around solutions that enhance life in Greater Miami.
