Desde el otro lado de la frontera. – Violencia nuevamente en Guerrero, México.

Después de ver varias imágenes violentas en ACAPULCO el día de ayer, las cuales muestro bajo este párrafo, decidí finalmente a escribir. No son las primeras fotos espeluznantes que veo de la violencia que se vive en México, desde el Sexenio del Presidente Calderón, aparecían en periódicos nacionales e internacionales, fotos de cuerpos inertes colgados en los puentes sobre vías públicas- ahora las últimas, son en Guerrero. Estado que lleva meses padeciendo violencia y estudiantes desaparecidos. #Acapulco Mexicans protesting for change faced against police brutality.

But once I spent a year in Gainesville, I ached to come home. The city lacked Miami's diversity, culture, and history.

Traffic in Miami. ARV, May 2014. Ideas4Solutions

by Rebekkah Mar My parents' worst nightmare came to life when I first showed interest in driving. That was no surprise with Miami's reputation of back-to-back traffic, reckless driving from drunk or distracted drivers, and the rest of the obstacles that I would inevitably face on the road. As soon as I passed the driving test, my parents imposed driving restrictions on when and where I could drive. Some would say that my parents were over protective, but now I understand. South Florida  has appeared repeatedly on several lists pertaining to the states with the worst reputation for driving.

Fundraising startup businesses in Miami

By Rebekkah Mar When people think of startup businesses that have a focus and foundation in technology, they rarely mention the city of Miami. Silicon Valley, the technology hub in California, inevitably and historically receives the main focus.
