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 inspiring stories from Kendall below.
El Cuartito Sessions
He brought four friends into a small room – his home studio, with the idea of creating new musical ideas and covers that turned into original compositions. Eventually, the goal was to include different singers every week, allowing them to have short clips for social media content and bringing eyes to the newly formed project. Read More>>
Jaqueline Montero
For years, I have planned all of my trips and created my itineraries and tours by day. I started my travel page because so many people have asked me how I travel so much or for ideas of where to go next. This is a one-stop page for all things travel content and a sprinkle of some humor! Read More>>
Curtis Sponsler
I first became enamored with TV/Movies in elementary school – as most kids did back then. But one day, when headed out to recess, I walked past a classroom with a big TV camera pointing out the door. I froze, mesmerized by the camera all the while as the teacher and media specialist frantically waved me on. Read More>>
Alexandra Rivero
Established in 2023 and operating out of Miami, FL, The Monarch Mental Health Foundation was founded in loving memory of Miriam Motola Rivero – a cherished mother, spouse, daughter, sibling, friend, and licensed mental health professional who devoted her 30-year-long career to aiding thousands of individuals, ranging from the young to the elderly, grappling with the unseen affliction of mental illness.

Belkys Lopez
When the bank’s CEO encountered issues with the government, which led to the bank closing, the mortgage department manager and top producers opened their own mortgage company, and I was offered a position there. That’s how my knowledge started in the mortgage industry. Read More>>
Heather Knickerbocker
Since then, we have grown consistently and organically by featuring deals, meals, and fun things to do with local small businesses and some popular larger ones. Now it has become a family affair and my kids, husband, and a few close friends have become Gimme Miami content creators! Read More>>
Ceci Curbelo
While in those jobs I always helped with the party planning and sign making and all the fun extra details! As I approached my 40th birthday, I wanted to find an outlet for my creativity as well as a setup that would provide me more flexibility as a mom. I discovered the world of laser engraving by researching online and thought “This would be perfect!” Read More>>
Shaelen Serrano
When I need to just have a day and gossip with my friends or if I am sad and need to just let it out and vent, coffee literally will always bring anyone together. I decided to launch “The Coffee Connoisseur” on Instagram to post reviews/thoughts one coffee shop at a time. I also enjoy adding a touch of humor to my content on the page because life is not meant to be serious all the time and I want to create a space for others that be comfortable & laugh (especially those who love coffee).

Cristi Ortega
This led me to learn about myofunctional therapy which involves the dysfunction of muscles in the mouth and how it can impact breathing, feeding, sleeping, and speech; such important aspects of daily life. In March 2019, I ventured into starting my private practice part-time. I was able to later transition to a full-time practice, allowing me to continue growing and learning in this field I love.

Myles Oliva
Capturing stories has always been a passion of mine since I can remember whether it was capturing a vacation going to a conference with my family, or just being involved in the family business I’ve always been behind a lens. Evoking emotion and feeling your audience react is priceless to me. Read More>>
Ricky Salani
I figured if this didn’t work out, at least I gained the experience and could land a job to regain the capital. So far, I’ve learned a few things along the way that school could not teach. There is nothing like trying to start, run, and grow a business to give you that hands-on experience. It’s not easy and I wear many hats but I feel that we are just turning a corner with the business and have some exciting projects and opportunities in the pipeline. Read More>>
Yesenia Guzman and Michelle Rios-Rodriguez
In today’s society, wellness, inner self-reflection, and longevity are priorities for many. However, Yesenia and Michelle actually grew a passion for the cosmetic and beauty industry since high school where both ladies attended a vocational high school and took cosmetology. Despite this, they both grew into different careers after graduation. Read More>>
Susy Abreu
I was a teacher for over 15 years with a passion for all things party. In 2018 I helped my sister host my baby nephew’s Sip and See, and I had an epiphany. Why wasn’t I pursuing party planning and styling as a part-time source of income? I immediately launched an Instagram page, had a friend create my logo, and Getty-go-to-Girl was born! Read More>>
