There are some journeys that begin long before the plane leaves the ground. My recent travels across Africa from the shores of Senegal and The Gambia, through the rhythmic heartbeat of Ghana’s Accra, and finally to the modern pulse of Johannesburg, South Africa have reminded me that home is not just where we are from, but where we are connected.

On this past weekend neighbors from across Fort Lauderdale joined forces to celebrate 2025 Make A Difference Day, coming together to clean, paint, and plant throughout the city. From Dorsey Riverbend to Downtown Civic Association, Durrs, Imperial Point, Lake Ridge, and Twin Lakes, volunteers of all ages rolled up their sleeves to care for the places they call home. Seeing so many familiar faces working side by side was a glowing reminder of the strength, spirit, and unity of this community. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who participated and helped make a visible difference in our neighborhoods.
