O, Miami: Launch for WHO WE ARE IS MADE

Who We Are Is Made (O, Miami) is an audio-anthology of South Florida writers and their roots. It is an intergenerational collection of histories that came together through O, Miami’s open call for submissions, workshops, mentorships, and even a phone call to a friend. Who We Are Is Made sets out to explore how much of us is actually the gift, legacy, the influence of those from other generations. How do our forebears and ancestors shape the language we use to describe the world around us? We carry histories across continents and cultivate them locally. We ferry recipes across the Americas and we share them with our neighbors, our friends. When we take a closer look at these things we carry, we start to see beyond the thing itself, to see it differently. These stories portray the complex and diverse makeup of Miami and South Florida, honoring the generations that shape who we are.
