SUMMARY:Boosting DEIB & Embracing our differences
DESCRIPTION:Miami is home to a colorfully diverse population of people from different ethnic\, religious\, cultural\, and gender backgrounds 🦩. The unique perspectives that each group brings to the table are essential in breeding innovation\, and without them there wouldn’t be the unparalleled collaboration that exists in South Florida! \nUnfortunately\, not all communities share the same representation in our local innovation ecosystem. In fact\, last year  just 11% of the total VC that came into South FL went to companies with at least one female founder. At a national level\, Black entrepreneurs received less than 2% of all VC dollars\, while LGBTQ+ individuals are about 17-21% less represented in the STEM workforce when compared to the percentage of the population that they make up. \nAt Venture Café Miami\, we are deeply committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem. That’s why in this gathering we’ll dive into all things DEIB! During this experience\, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with local leaders who are actively working to make our innovation community more inclusive\, and participate in interactive activities that will help you gain valuable insights. \nLet’s come together to celebrate the incredible diversity that exists within our ecosystem and discover how we can make it more welcoming to all!

SUMMARY:10 Days of Connection
DESCRIPTION:Miami is a cultural melting pot. People from all over the world have come to call The Magic City home\, bringing their culture with them and collectively weaving a vibrant tapestry with their customs\, language\, food\, music and art. \nWe are so lucky to share in these treasures\, though sometimes the differences can be difficult to navigate. 10 Days of Connection understands this and acts as a searchlight\, guiding our diverse communities to mutual respect\, understanding and celebration! \nEvery year from May 1-10\, this community led movement fights divisiveness by bringing our differences to light and embracing them. And on the 4th day this year they will be bringing their unique connection experience to Venture Café Miami! Joining forces with other vital collaborators\, this carefully curated evening will lead us towards intentional connection through a variety of interactive and lively sessions\, featuring a clothing swap\, a conscious circle discussion\, a social empathy game\, and much more!
