Power Moves: Leveraging power through diversity

For decades, Miami stood as a political fortress: nearly 30 years without a Democratic Mayor and never, ever a woman in the city's highest office. This was the fortress of history, of precedent, and of the status quo. And Eileen Higgins, a woman who showed up, did the work, and built trust, just shattered it.

Its core mission is profoundly simple yet incredibly impactful: provide crucial capital, invaluable mentorship, and essential resources to Black and Latinx founders, particularly those in high-growth sectors such as tech, design, healthcare, and consumer products.

During the call, Higgins got straight to the point: her core mission is to serve the entire population of Miami. She drew a sharp contrast with her opponents, stating their track records suggest a lack of this comprehensive desire.
