The heart of our mission at VoyageMIA is to find the amazing souls that breathe life into our city. In the recent weeks, we’ve had the privilege to connect with some of the Miami’s finest artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and rabble rousers and we can’t begin to express how impressed we are with our city’s incredibly deep talent pool.  Check out Hialeah’s rising stars below.

Anthony Ricci

I live in Pembroke Pines and really saw the need for window tinting service in the area. After retiring from professional soccer, I started learning out of the garage with a friend and really dove into it. A year later, we were opening up our first shop in the area. Read More>>

Susie Garcia

My love for the creative world started at age 5. Like so many dancers who start off with their parents putting them in an extracurricular activity; mine was Dance, Piano, and Modeling. Although Ballet, Jazz, or Hip Hop might be the first thing people think of doing at an early age… I started off a bit differently. Read More>>

Irene Díaz

I was born in Barcelona, Spain. There, I graduated in Journalism and Audiovisual Communication from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). And there, I began my professional career. After an internship at Spanish Television (Tv1), I worked in different media where we could highlight my time as a collaborator of the program “Tot Barca” on Barça TV and my role as producer and announcer on the radio morning show from Europa FM “Levántate y Cárdenas” (third most listened to radio program in Spain at that time 2012-2015).

Alyssa Ricci

I was born and raised in South Florida in a fun-loving Cuban family, who sacrificed everything so that I could pursue my dreams. Since I was a middle schooler, I had my heart set on becoming an Orthodontist because of the joy and confidence a transformed smile gave me. I strive to instill that same joy and confidence in my patients today. Read More>>

 

Julio Naranjo

I could say my path began when I was just a kid. I remember playing with my dad’s camera and flipping through our family photo albums. I was captivated or I could say fascinated, by how those pieces of paper with images on them could evoke emotions, smiles, stories to tell, and even tears. Read More>>

Zahir Stevens

I began rapping in 5th grade (10 years old) at Myrtle Grove K-8 Center in Carol City. I started recording my music in 6th grade at my cousin’s house and they pushed me to continue rapping. I ended up writing songs on the daily to perfect my craft and eventually, I released my songs on Soundcloud starting in 8th grade. In 7th grade, I won the Piano Slam 11 poetry contest. Read More>>

Gabriel Cacabelos

As a kid, I always had a passion for arts, I drew everywhere and every time I could. Later on in life, this passion found a match when I was introduced to films. While working at a production house in the post-production department I decided I would study filmmaking.  Read More>>

 

Andrea Salamanca

My passion for beauty and content creating started way back in 2010. For Christmas, my sister had gifted me my first makeup collection. Most were drugstore products, primarily Wet n Wild and E.L.F Cosmetics. I didn’t have much knowledge of beauty besides using lipgloss, but being a creative and artistic person since I was a child, I decided to start experimenting and playing around with makeup. As time passed, makeup looks seemed difficult to accomplish, so I turned to my trusty old friend YouTube for help. Read More>>
