About Miami Beach Pride

For 15 years, Miami Beach Pride has brought together members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, their friends, allies, and supporters in celebration of the unique spirit and culture of the LGBTQ+ community. It is their mission to envision, plan and execute a roster of events and activities that are as diverse as the community itself, including activities centering on entertainment, events, arts, culture and civic and social engagement. They annually produce a million dollar Pride Festival and Parade for free for the community in April. This year’s festivities kick off on April 1 with two full weeks of LGBTQ-centered events and activities culminating in the Festival and Parade Weekend April 15 & 16, 2023.

FIU Welcomes World-Renowned Conservationist and Global Icon Jane Goodall Jane Goodall, the world-renowned conservationist and U.N. Messenger of Peace known best for her groundbreaking research and conservation efforts surrounding chimpanzees, will be speaking as part of FIU's Explorers and Innovators Lecture Series on March 31st at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center at MMC.  Goodall’s lecture, “Inspiring Hope Through Action: An Evening with Dr. Jane Goodall,” will address her amazing life and work, as well as the power each of us has to make a difference. Goodall’s pioneering work opened a window into the world of chimpanzees and redefined what it means to be human. Goodall made her most significant discovery during her first year at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania in the 1960s, when she observed chimps making tools out of stripped leaves that they then used to dig out termites in a nearby mound. This observation redefined the scientific premise that separated man from other animals as the only tool makers. Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues Goodall’s pioneering research on chimpanzee behavior. Today, the institute is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. The event, co-sponsored by SOLFL and Zoo Miami, will take place at 7 p.m. and will feature a lecture from Goodall followed by a moderated Q&A. Tickets are now on sale.
