Harris Rosen, the founder and president of Rosen Hotels & Resorts, passed away today at the age of 85.

Beyond his significant contributions to the hospitality industry, Mr. Rosen was a pillar of the Orlando community, renowned for his philanthropic endeavors and unwavering commitment to social causes.

Mr. Rosen's dedication to his employees was clear in his support for Haiti and Caribbean initiatives, reflecting the backgrounds of his workforce.

His profound impact on the Tangelo Park community stands as a testament to his belief in the power of education and community development.

In 2011, the Orlando Sentinel honored him as the Central Floridian of the Year, recognizing his extensive charitable work and community involvement.

Mr. Rosen's legacy will continue to inspire and influence the lives of many. His contributions have left an indelible mark on Orlando and beyond.

Rest in peace, Mr. Rosen.

It's all about repetition to get us to a point of satisfaction or just total insanity.

As we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Miami Carnival, there’s no better time to reflect on what it means to live a full, vibrant life and to take pride in the journey that’s brought us here. For those of us in the Caribbean-American community, the rhythm of our lives moves to the beat of many ...

What the POTUS election 2024 has confirmed is that America will never ALLOW a female to be president, and especially not a black female. The masses would rather see the decline and erasure of democracy by way of a bigoted tyrant.

It's gonna be 4 years (or forever if dictatorship takes control) of hate, violence by extremist n**i, theft of property by authorities and just a period of evil.

If you partied back in the 1970s and 1980s, quite likely your jammed to many of Quincy Jones productions, possibly performed by artists like Michael Jackson, Brothers Johnson, Tony Bennet and so many stars in music.

He was just a genius with so much and words to gift to us all. What songs by Quincy still gets you moving? "Thriller" is one that continues to moves the dance floors around the world.

YouTube Interview with Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve on Amendment 3

In today’s interview, we sit down with Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve, to discuss the urgent need for change surrounding Amendment 3.

With thousands of Floridians still facing prosecution for ma*****na possession, Kim brings a powerful perspective on why this amendment is crucial for social justice and fairness.

In this interview, Kim shares statistics, including how over 16,000 Floridians were prosecuted just last year for ma*****na-related charges, disproportionately impacting Black and Brown communities. She emphasizes that despite progress, the current system continues to put lives on hold for a plant—highlighting that until a clear, definitive line is drawn, these injustices will persist.

Voting for a candidate is one thing, but voting for an issue like Amendment 3 means real change. This is an opportunity for Floridians to directly influence policies, stop unnecessary arrests, and ensure that the state’s laws reflect fairness and common sense.

Kim explains why a ‘Yes on 3’ is a vote for justice, a step towards reform, and a way to stop lives from being ruined over minor ma*****na possession. Don’t miss this conversation on how you can make a real difference.
