Meet Girl Guide Alum @LABuchananESQ. Leigh-Ann was a Girl Guide in Vancouver, Canada, the equivalent of @girlscouts here. For Leigh-Ann, it matters to "bloom where you are planted." She has done just that since moving to Miami where she leads @aire_ventures & @NyahProject.

Great to see Jamie Dimon in Miami this morning discussing Tech Equity. @LABuchananESQ has designed a TRULY equitable program with @jpmorgan , Miami-Dade County, Knight Foundation & others. 100mm bucks for equity! This is why you need more tech centered in Miami.

Miami-Dade is a place of inclusion and acceptance. The Don’t Say Gay bill makes families feel invisible and puts our economy at risk. Today, I sent a letter asking @karaswisher to speak with me and reconsider her decision to move the 2023 Pivot conference away from our county.
