A Free Celebration of African Culture Coming to Miramar
Hundreds of people are expected to gather in Miramar on Saturday, June 6, for a free event dedicated to celebrating African culture, trade and innovation. The gathering marks the second edition of the Global Africa Symposium, building on the success of last year's inaugural gathering.

This year's edition aims to bring together industry leaders, innovators and community stakeholders, with the goal of showcasing Africa's expanding global influence and strengthening connections across the African diaspora.

The symposium's headline moment will be a keynote address from entrepreneur Rohan Marley, who is expected to share insights from his own entrepreneurial journey and add a well-known voice to this year's lineup.
