seeing miami a little differently

Dear Hive, February is also Low Vision Awareness Month, and this one feels personal. Low vision doesn’t always look the way people expect. It isn’t always total darkness. For many of us, it means reduced peripheral vision, difficulty seeing at night, light sensitivity, or relying on contrast and technology to navigate the world. It means adapting, problem-solving, and sometimes laughing when you wave back at someone who wasn’t actually waving at you. As many of you know, I’ve been sharing…

Some days just feel special from start to finish, and this was one of them.

Our Women Who Inspire Tea was a celebration of remarkable women, meaningful connections, and the kind of energy that reminds you just how powerful this community is. It was an honor to recognize our inspiring honorees and to be in a room filled with women who continue to lead, uplift, and make an impact across Miami.

A heartfelt thank you to our honorees, you are the reason we gather, and the inspiration behind it all.

Honorees:
Miami Muse – Marile Lopez
The Trailblazer – Alessandra Esteves
The Beacon – Gaby Castillo
The Hive Spirit – Lynley Ciorobea
The Legacy – Frances “Dolly” MacIntyre, Mary “Mimi” Shafey, Jeannett Slesnick

A meaningful morning celebrating the next generation of leaders.

The second annual Brunching for Breakthroughs, a student-created event by Giuliana Reynolds benefiting Breakthrough Miami, brought the community together for a lively and inspiring brunch at THesis Hotel. Guests enjoyed a delicious brunch prepared by the THesis culinary team while student performances, a young entrepreneurs market, and interactive moments throughout the event showcased the talent and creativity of the students involved.

What made the day especially impressive was seeing the students take the lead by helping plan, host, and work the event from start to finish. The result was a vibrant, successful afternoon that highlighted leadership, entrepreneurship, and the powerful impact of investing in young minds.

The Dolce & Gabbana exhibit in the Miami Design District is so worth your time. Stunning doesn’t even begin to cover it. You’ll want to take a photo of every single detail, and trust us, it will eat up your camera roll, but the pictures don’t do it justice. You really have to see it in person, from the beading and cross-stitch to the feathers and flair. Every inch is pure artistry.

A lovely day in the Miami Design District. The Dolce & Gabbana Exhibition is absolutely stunning and well worth a visit.

A little shopping, of course, and a stop by the Stitch Lab Pop-Up to see our friend Cecie (open through Sunday if you want to pop in). They even had a sweet little painting area — so cute.

Left with a new pair of earrings (thanks Mum), enjoyed lunch at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink as they celebrate 19 years tomorrow, and finished the day with dessert at Peel Soft Serve.

One of those perfectly Miami kind of days. ☀️✨

I was honored to be part of the panel at Chapman Partnership’s Sisterhood Energy: Journeys of Faith and Resilience. It was a beautiful evening filled with connection, reflection, and encouragement.

Each of us was asked a question, mine was about a moment when I had to dig deep to find strength I didn’t know I had, and I spoke about learning last year that I would be losing my vision. The audience of women was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and interactive, which made the conversations even more meaningful.

Guests were welcomed with a sweet flower pop-up, where they could build their own bouquet. They enjoyed photos, refreshments, goody bags, and participated in a raffle for prizes. But what stood out most was the spirit in the room.

Chapman Partnership is exploring more experiences like this—moments that go beyond meeting basic needs and instead feed the soul, celebrate dignity, and empower the incredible folks they serve.

If you feel called to help, I know they would love to hear from you.
