I was asked by a newcomer to be more welcoming to the incoming tech community. So here’s my version of a welcome mat to Miami: a thread for #miamitech
1. We can’t welcome you if you don’t know where you are where. My “Miami reading list” is a thread for another day but start here: A World More Concrete by N.D.B. Connolly. Not only the best book about Miami but maybe the best book about a city, period.
2. Ok I lied. One more book. The Halfway House by Guillermo Rosales. Because you can tell the truth in fiction too.
Some of you considering moving to Miami may be turned off by the hype about a particular social scene here that sounds a lot like the same old tech bro cliques. BUT, there are many, many more communities to join.
Fi:rst, if you’re actively building a tech company, you may not have much time for social stuff. (I don’t.) You may hate large groups. And COVID. DM people who seem cool and set up a call. I do this a lot. Most people like to meet people who think they’re cool!
You also may be interested in many other things that have nothing to do with tech or networking or business. This makes you interesting and well-rounded and we are here for it! Here are some ideas to help you get started …

#GiveMiamiDay plug for @AiJusticeNow: They help people no one else is helping. (My wife chairs the board.) givemiamiday.org/aijustice
Although Cristina says the situation is so hostile that it’s almost impossible to help abused refugees - a lot of PTSD on anguished staff.
Anyway, please help if you can - babies in prison need lawyers. givemiamiday.org/aijustice
