Legacy Magazine Miami and South Florida Magazine’s Education issues are distributed in the Miami Herald and Sun-Sentinel, respectively. The issues are available on newsstands Wednesday, June 23.
Hollywood, Fla. (June 21, 2021) – M•I•A MEDIA GROUP LLC, publisher of Legacy Miami and Legacy South Florida, the premier publications for South Florida’s Black influencers and affluencers, announces the release of its highly anticipated Education issues in the Miami Herald and the Sun-Sentinel, respectively. The eagerly sought-after issues showcase the Top Black Educators listings in Miami and South Florida. The editions arrive on newsstands Wednesday, June 23. The publications reliably deliver compelling content that gives readers a competitive advantage in their community, professional, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
“Our Education issues affirm that education and scholarship have always been cornerstones of our community’s progress and success. This year’s editions are particularly noteworthy because they allow us to salute the educators that continued to deliver high-quality education despite a global pandemic and a spike in racial unrest,” said Russell Motley, editor-in-chief, Legacy magazines.
“If anything, the pandemic has taught educators – and students for that matter – how to be resilient. But as schools return to class this fall fully face to face, it will be great to connect with everyone on a more personal level instead of viewing headshots on a computer screen.”
Both issues are teeming with timely cover stories and exclusive content that readers can only get from Legacy. For example, in the Miami issue, readers can learn about Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s innovative initiatives to help the county improve education delivery to students; Greater Miami Visitors Convention Bureau executive Connie Kinnard shares how cultural tourism can help sustain heritage neighborhoods; Florida Memorial University Provost Dr. Adrienne T. Copper challenges the educational landscape to evolve in response to the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racial animus, and South Florida business guru Beatrice Louissaint reveals insights to position your company to take advantage of the pandemic economy.
Covering Broward and Palm Beach counties, the South Florida issue will introduce readers to pioneering educator, Dr. Kathleen C. Wright; showcase how the Urban League of Broward County is serving families and students impacted by the “COVID-19 Slide,” report on how the league’s Palm Beach County chapter is furthering education through scholarships and computer donations, and highlight an instructor that creates a safe space for LGBTQIA+ inclusivity. Both issues include business tips, career advice, and lifestyle information that keep Legacy readers at the forefront of their personal and professional lives.
