Even After The

Darkest Night the Sun

Will Rise

As I await the sunrise over the shores of Miami, the town wakes up to yet another day of tropical metropolitan buzz, getting ready to receive yet another bucket of paint, another coating of cement, another polish of a newly installed sign on the wall.

While many other parts of America are slowly awakening to a brighter economy, Florida is glowing and preparing for a season that promises to be even better than the year before. While “big name brands” are nothing new in town, others that did not dare to take the step are now feeling confident to lay their foundation, hoping to leave a mark.

Being a recent “come back” to the city, I dwell on my days at the UM, and MTV Latino in town, a downtown without restaurants and a Miami Beach engulfed in malodor. It was a city

that lacked capital qualities but with tropical, Mediterranean charm. Much has changed since then. Miami has grown up but stayed true to the different colors of its sunrise. As a world traveler, I feel arrived and ready for another day of a quiet morning café on the beach, shopping with friends in Bal Harbour, exploring new inspirations in Midtown, cocktails and dinner in skyscraperbrimmed Brickell and Downtown – luxury inspired and made possible by its inhabitants that bet on a CITY through its darkest nights awaiting its morning glow– the NOW.

Thanks for having me back…
