Spice It Up Miami Brings Culinary Excellence and Sizzling Salsa Dancing to Little Haiti Cultural Complex

Laurean D. Robinson, MA May 2, 2017 4:03 AM EST I am a foodie. This fact has been very present in my life since maybe twenty years ago, when I tasted my first hot fudge sundae at a nostalgic Americana diner with my friends one weekend (or on a Sunday). The ingredients weren’t anything special – 50’s era glass ice cream container, two scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with a warm drizzling of chocolate fudge, whipped cream and a glossy red cherry. But there was something about its presentation that made the eating experience so romantic – if I had social media back then (and not its boring and uncool uncle, AOL), I would have taken a picture of it and framed it so I could gaze at it for all time.

By Laurean D. Robinson, MA April 23, 2018 During this spring season, elementary and secondary school students across the country are in the throes of state testing after prepping for these standardized exams during the fall.   These children, along with their teachers and administration, put in so much time and effort into sculpting the most efficient test-prep program so students can retain the lessons and strategies needed to be confidently successful. But oftentimes, that confidence does not come easily. Our students may crumble under the pressure to attain school success in their districts and regions. But what if these children had some special mediation and yoga classes built into the after school program where breathing exercises were taught and stretching was encouraged? This is the basis of a Miami Lakes based non-profit organization called EMBRACE Girl Power where CEO Ms. Velma Lawrence trains a small staff of high school students to teach mediation, yo...
