Today we’d like to introduce you to Liz Ritzik.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Liz. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I moved to Miami about seven years ago from Virginia. I was looking to join a meetup or find cool things to do around the city, but I was having a really hard time. I followed different media accounts, PR companies and started compiling a list of interesting events that I would share with my friends. They would always tell me to start an Instagram account or blog so I did. That’s when @shetakesmiami was born! I repost flyers of live music, food, culture events happening in Miami. In the past, I have worked with @hedonist_shedonist and @sfldateideas by posting my events on their blogs. Now I post my weekend list on thingstodoinmiamithisweekend.blogspot.com.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Immediately after starting the Instagram account, I was contacted by @hedonist_shedonist to contribute to his blog. It was amazing! The response I’ve had from the Miami community has been amazing.
Tell us about your work.
My Instagram account is dedicated to sharing fun events in Miami. I love connecting with people and I feel the best way to do that is through community events. I’m most proud of the support that I have had from the Miami community. What sets me apart is that this is a passion project. I do not get paid to post events.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
Again, I have to thank the Miami community, the bloggers and my friends for the encouragement.
