Mosaic Miami is outraged by the recent shooting in Miami Beach, where police say a local man fired 17 shots into a car carrying two Israeli tourists he believed were Palestinian, injuring both. These acts of violence, spurred by hateful misconceptions and prejudice, underscore the urgent need to reject bigotry in all its forms. No one should live in fear because of their real or perceived heritage, religion, or identity. We call on our community to come together, de-escalate tensions, and foster respect and understanding. Hate cannot be allowed to take root here—or anywhere—and we remain committed to advocating for the safety and dignity of all.

Mosaic Miami’s Operations and Community Outreach Director, Moni Gonzalez, recently took the stage at the Women of Tomorrow She Means Business Summit at Miami Dade College Kendall Campus, inspiring the next generation of female leaders. Speaking alongside a panel of accomplished professionals, Moni shared insights from her 23-year career in the nonprofit sector and her journey as an entrepreneur with Moni’s Sweets. She highlighted the importance of balancing business, philanthropy, and community leadership—values that drive Mosaic Miami’s mission to foster dialogue and cultural understanding. With 150 high school students in attendance, this impactful event encouraged young women to embrace their ambitions, overcome challenges, and pursue their goals with confidence. We are proud to support initiatives that empower future leaders and strengthen our diverse community!
