Comings and goings with Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis.

Hello Friends & Neighbors!

I am grateful to be able to reach you through this medium once again. Thank you for your continuous support.

It was all about the Haitian Culture in the month of May as we celebrated the sights, sounds and tastes of the island nation at the Haitian Cultural Celebration. Three Miramar students were recognized as the winners of the Haitian Flag Day Student Art Contest! Each of their schools received a $400 check for art supplies, donated by our sponsors, Congresswoman Sheila CherfilusMcCormick and WID the headline act.

It was wonderful to host the City of Miramar’s in person Job & Education Fair on May 26th with top companies such as WSVN, Miramar Police, Amazon, Carnival Cruise and many more! The Job fair was a success with folks who reported that they landed a job on the spot!

Oh, what a night it was on May 27th when Stephanie Mills blew us away with hit after hit! The Harden Project was the opening act who prepared us for what was to come! It was great to see patrons from all over dance the night away.

The month of June was recognized as Caribbean American Heritage Month, and I had the pleasure of kicking it off with a media launch showcasing our Caribbean Heritage activities for the month with music and entertainment. We closed out the month with a little Taste of the Caribbean Islands at Vizcaya Park. A fun time was had by all as we incorporated new aspects this year with an art and book fair as well as culinary demos.

I am pleased to have worked alongside the City of Miramar’s Economic Development & Revitalization team, Business Inclusion & Diversity (BID) programs and in partnership with the MiramarPembroke Pines Chamber of Commerce to host the Biz Fit Roadshow and Virtual Workshop 2022. The Biz Fit workshop is designed to help small businesses start, operate, and expand in Miramar and surrounding areas. The Biz Fit Roadshow offered businesses free information, resources, and incentives available to area businesses.

In association with Anzora’s Foundation, I hosted Gospel Groove Sunday featuring the Stellar Award-nominated Williams Singers from Indianapolis, Indiana, Comedian Natasha Calloway, Psalmist Ernest Gonder and other local artists at the Miramar Cultural Center. This event was created to bring awareness and raise money for mental health. Attendees enjoyed a spectacular spirit-filled show as they supported our vendors and food trucks.

I was honored to have been selected as the Government Official of the year at the People Profile Awards Ceremony held on July 10th, 2022. I will continue to devote my time to public service and advocate for the residents and businesses I serve!

On August 5th, we danced the night away in all Black, Green and Gold at the Jamaica’s 60th Independence Day Fete celebrating 60 glorious years of Independence for Jamaica! It was a pleasure to have Stone Love perform and commemorate their 50th anniversary. During our Fun and Laughter intermissions, four lucky winners received roundtrip Spirit vouchers to any destination of their choosing! In partnership with Grace Foods, we also gave away Grace Food baskets to ten golden winners of our trivia. Attendees whined and dinned with our fantastic vendors who provided food, festivities, and fun. It was “one love” at the Jamaica’s 60th Independence Day Fete, can’t wait for year!

Please take care of yourselves and each other.
