My Journey: From Matanzas, Cuba to Freedom and Opportunities

Join us for a special evening celebrating Sam Verdeja and the 2025 publication of his work, “My Journey: From Matanzas, Cuba to Freedom and Opportunities,” a reflection on his life, from his early years in Cuba and his experience of exile to his career in media, business, education, and community leadership in the United States and abroad.

The program will feature a conversation with the author and a panel of Hispanic marketing and publishing pioneers whose careers helped shape the growth and influence of Hispanic journalism, advertising, and entrepreneurship in South Florida. The evening will also include a special video tribute by Armando Codina, founder and executive chairman of Codina Partners, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
