Miami is a fascinating city in the United States. It’s unique in that it’s got a big Latin and Caribbean influence due to the inhabitants that call Miami home and its cultural landscape continues to evolve as new groups of people arrive. It’s a place that people historically came in waves, and continue to come to, in order to build a better life for themselves. Is Miami the American Dream? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
As someone who lived in Miami for about a year; It is not the American Dream. It is the city of America Future with a heavy mix of all of America Craziness, and neurosises. ps: also love you channel!!! keep up the great work
As a resident of Miami, I can tell you it's a nice place to visit, but the farthest thing from the American Dream. Overpopulated, jobs are underpaid, housing is absurdly expensive, some of the rudest people in the entire world live here, unbearably hot and humid summers, threats of hurricanes, tornados, flooding... I could go on. I'm looking to move in the next year.
What blew me is Malini can connect with people so easily bc she speaks their language. I'm so impressed imma binge the rest of your channel tonight omgg!!!
Your videos are some of my favorites. Too many people travel without any knowledge of the culture and history, but you are conscientious, considerate, and caring. Thanks 😊 for quality content.
Your videos have the exact same feeling as watching Globe Trekkers. There is no "what I think", most of the time your are an observer where you are visiting... you give voice to others to paint the picture of what the place is. Nowadays most people became youtubers and just shove their opinions about a culture they have't lived. Yours is one of the best travel channels in RUclips. Cheers from Brazil!
Dear Miss Angelica, I wish to express my gratitude for yet another captivating video. I must acknowledge my appreciation for the documentary approach you employ, as your multilingual proficiency significantly facilitates audience connection and engagement.
Thank you for doing what most journalists don't cover when it comes to the Americas - speaking about and educating people on black and indigenous history, especially in relation to racial disparity and colonization. I especially appreciate the way that you make a point to explore the areas most people look over! Would love to see you explore the less popularized neighborhoods and suburbs of Chicago!
Angélica, the diaspora is not over... as long as there is blindness in the peoples of the world, who believe that the “Cuban revolution” was good, it was quite the opposite. Thank you very much for the video.
Amazing work! As a resident of Miami, not a Native (from New England) I can honestly say Miami is a great city. I just wouldn’t say it’s that diverse. Mostly Cuban, and primarily Hispanic. My wife, who is Jamaican, but grew up in Miami visited Boston with me. She was amazed how many languages were spoken in a park we hung out in. Being of mixed race…black, white, and look Hispanic, I can fully say that Miami is a great city, just not a diverse a most people think. Your piece did well at trying to connect with the communities, and did an amazing job compared to pretty much every other RUclipsr, but the piece that is missing is the continued struggle for a lot of groups that come to Miami, for years, and continue to struggle because of the influx of new people. Yes, some have made it, but many that built Miami, much like my ancestors that built this country dripping blood and tears, still struggle to get a seat at the table, and receive their piece of the “pie”. Living in Carol City for many years, now Kendall, after living in Jamaica for awhile, you have to really live here to understand and appreciate what Miami actually is.
Excellent video! Well balanced presenting tourist spots but also the other communities often overlooked. And great point regarding Liberty City authenticity vs a gentrified neighborhood’s attempt at authenticity. 🙌🏿🎬
Bienvenido a Miami! Thanks for covering Miami. Doral used to be where many Colombians lived, and Weston was where many Venezuelans lived. Midtown used to be full of stacked up shipping containers. Miami is definitely changing.
@@maliniangelica1 What can i do to find you? I love you and your works. Truly speaking, i am your secret admirer and lover here in Muscat, Oman.😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another brilliant production, Malini Angelica. At the beginning, I thought this would be another "lifestyles of the rich and famous" and you went straight into the neighborhoods, culture, and history, como siempre. I love it! Thank you!
A lot of travel you tubers should look at your channel to understand how to tell the story of the places you visit and learn from how you let the people tell their stories. Bravo Malini.
Ocean Drive is a famous boulevard in Miami Beach with Art Deco buildings, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. It is a popular tourist destination and known for its vibrant nightlife. The famous scene from the film "Scarface" (1983), where Tony Montana (played by Al Pacino) and his friend Manny Rivera (played by Steven Bauer) disrupt the drug deal with the Colombians, was filmed on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. This scene specifically takes place at the fictional "Sun Ray Hotel," which is actually represented by the Art Deco District on Ocean Drive. The location of this scene is at 728 Ocean Drive, where a restaurant called "Johnny Rockets" is now located. This part of Ocean Drive is famous for its historic Art Deco architecture and is often used as a filming location because of its iconic appearance. Tnx for the inspiration, love u😍
Born and raised here, I'm glad to see that you visited Miami. Love your channel, I found you from your Rio vlog since I'm traveling there tomorrow. I recommend you visit Hilo,Hawaii! It's like another planet❤
You do such a fantastic job of covering cities, because you go deep into the essence of the place. I don't think that anyone else does that. Thank you.
Malini you are marvellous. You love what you do. I'm a new subscriber but your videos, content and your whole being speak volumes and just can't miss whatever you post on your wall. God bless you and with love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Love it! For more on the Mikosukee and Seminole, look up former Chief Jim Billie. While you're here, if you're still here, come see us over in Tampa Bay on the Gulf Coast. Flagler developed the East Coast, Henry Bradley Plant developed the Gulf Coast.
Thank you for this very nice video. I live in Miami Beach, and I found it most interesting. I had to smile at the Wynwood part. I saw it come up, flourish, and start drowning in its own success. Please come again anytime. And end the next time with sunset at South Pointe Park.
I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I feel like home in this city , but it has become way too expensive , due to political crisis in different latin countries , housing prices have gone trough the roof 😢
Malini, fantastic vid!! Love you Salsa dancing! Great you profiled Liberty City, Miccosukees and Doral’s Venezuelans, neighborhoods many tourists don’t get to see. Makes me want to have a Ceviche and Chilcano right now! Miami’s energy is intoxicating! Again, thanks for sharing!!
second video of yours in a place i lived in! i lived in miami for four years for university (go fiu panthers!). it's a very special and unique place and with vibrant people of all kinds. this borught back so many memories so thank you! i do wish however you had a chance to spotlight little haiti and the black caribbean culture there as haitians make up another significant cultural backdop of miami. the school distrct sends out any communication to parents in english, spanish, and haitian creole. and haitian food is amazing!
For a moment I was traveling with you😇😀😊! Another great video and I always appreciate the fact that you present all the areas and side of a city, thank you very much and I'm waiting for your next destination, be safe 🙏.
I wanted to give you priase for a wonder video. I was thoroughly enteained and educated. But I have one question regarding the gentrification of certain areas of Miami. Could it be also argued that when the wave of Cuban, Central and South Americans came to Miami they gentrified areas? Many of the areas indentifed in the video were not originally Latin American areas.
Growing up in Hialeah was wonderful, but south Florida is way over crowded. Cost of living is extremely high, crime rate, traffic I call central Florida home now. Don’t miss the fast life.
Beautiful work ❤ your Spanish is really good, lost all of mine with no one to practice, it was kind of an unwritten expectation to work in a professional kitchen with a whole lot of Hispanics Glad the gators didn’t get ya 😂😂
Malini rhymes with Miami! It's great to see so many cross diverse neighbourhoods in Florida. I'm sure the Latino community will continue to grow over the next decade. All the states along the Gulf of Mexico have strong ties with their roots. Great video Malini, and I am looking forward to your next video! Thank you.
Good stuff. The culture is interesting and women with Caribbean heritage have a unique look and skin color. Some have those curly hair and they are fine looking ladies. Maybe a place to visit, but nothing like CA Bay Area.

Good Show, What Tribe are You, Malini Angelica? (smile)
It's pretty dangerous. HIV is a big problem with the clubbers so be careful who you date there !
Love it they having fun
Your cameraman/woman deserves a raise. The cinematography is just as good as your presentation. Subscribed.
welcome, and thank you!
Big facts bruh. I’ve been hunting for a new penthouse out there. It seems like a cool place honestly.
@@SonicboominOnEm Penthouse or doghouse ? 😂

You forgot to add the gun crime!
@@adstix its not that bad.. orlando area is worse. miami use to be bad it alot safer now.
Ridiculous amounts of traffic congestion and an utter lack of mass transit.
I hear you. I was born and raised in Miami. Far from the American Dream. And your point about rudeness is well taken.
Where are you moving if you don’t mind me asking
What blew me is Malini can connect with people so easily bc she speaks their language. I'm so impressed imma binge the rest of your channel tonight omgg!!!
I’ve always appreciated your desire to dig a little deeper into the city/country you’re visiting. Keep bringing all sides of a place to your work!
Thank you very much for the contribution, so happy to hear you like the content!! Much more coming your way!! 🙏🙏
Your videos are some of my favorites. Too many people travel without any knowledge of the culture and history, but you are conscientious, considerate, and caring. Thanks 😊 for quality content.

glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!
You want her to cover the insane levels of Black criminality that go on in, and around Miami so we can keep it super authentic??
As an American, it's fun to see you exploring some of our cities!
Thank you 😊

Wish this video was longer. Made me want to visit Miami now.
Love it! For more on the Mikosukee and Seminole, look up former Chief Jim Billie.
While you're here, if you're still here, come see us over in Tampa Bay on the Gulf Coast. Flagler developed the East Coast, Henry Bradley Plant developed the Gulf Coast.
Thank you, hopefully can make it there in the near future!
Beautifully shot really captures the vibes down here
Thank you!
you captured some great characters and personalities in this one.

On my trips to Miami I always go to a restaurant called Salmon and Salmon in the Little Havana district. Their fish dishes are heavenly.
Gracias por tu reportaje de Miami y su comunidad ❤❤Gracias vuelve otra vez ❤❤❤se te quiere ❤❤❤
💙💙 muchas gracias !
Thanks Malini, return soon with another nice video! 👍

I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I feel like home in this city , but it has become way too expensive , due to political crisis in different latin countries , housing prices have gone trough the roof 😢
You’re from Colombia of course it’s too expensive

How safe is that place?

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 🙏
Lovely. Keep up Angelica 👍
Thank you, I will
Great video as usual. Last time I was in Miami more than 10 years ago. If you are still there, go to the Key West. My favourite place.
Thanks for the tips!
Always been a fan 🥰 of the way you talk..good luck Dear😇

Miami looks lit to visit but I'm not a fan of that humid hot weather so I can't see myself wanting to live there
Interesting video! I hope there will be another episode based in Souther USA. Looking forward to see you visit Puerto Rico and Eastern Europe.
Puerto Rico video is up next!
Hopefully I'll get the chance to head to Miami to see all the scenery
Miami is aiiiiight. Would love to see a Los Angeles video.
Extremely happy you started with the Bahamians because the local Latins don’t recognize Miami’ history. Great reporting here.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
Nice documentary! First time watch and I subscribed. Do Cape Town or Zanzibar next if you have the time and money 💰
Welcome aboard!
No, Malini is the American Dream- Great vid again🎉
Thank you 🙌
Can't wait to go back i went 2018 carribean carnival was 🔥🔥
Wooow GLAM 😮
8:53 she lit 😂 drive safe love. Incredible footage, very pure
Thank you! 🙏

Thanks a lot .

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it, Miami is a fun place!! ❤❤
Beautiful video very immersed
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Malini ! 😘😘😘💘
Growing up in Hialeah was wonderful, but south Florida is way over crowded. Cost of living is extremely high, crime rate, traffic I call central Florida home now. Don’t miss the fast life.
Beautiful work ❤ your Spanish is really good, lost all of mine with no one to practice, it was kind of an unwritten expectation to work in a professional kitchen with a whole lot of Hispanics
Glad the gators didn’t get ya 😂😂
Malini rhymes with Miami! It's great to see so many cross diverse neighbourhoods in Florida. I'm sure the Latino community will continue to grow over the next decade. All the states along the Gulf of Mexico have strong ties with their roots. Great video Malini, and I am looking forward to your next video! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff. The culture is interesting and women with Caribbean heritage have a unique look and skin color. Some have those curly hair and they are fine looking ladies.
Maybe a place to visit, but nothing like CA Bay Area.
I live in Miami and I love it here.
Nice video, Malini! The place is beautiful!
Yes it was!
after rewatching the sicily video twice. I came here and i didn't get disappointed
You was 100% the most beautiful thing Miami had to offer the entire time you was there Malini 👊😘
Awesome blog! Will be visiting soon!
Have fun!
3:21. All the way from Nigeria 🇳🇬 Impressive!
Brilliant video such a lot of local insight. A real surprise
thanks!
