Tarde Literaria continues to fulfill its mission of connecting our community with powerful local voices, and this past gathering with Ivan Simonovis was truly unforgettable.
With over 40 attendees present, the evening was filled with anticipation as guests gathered to hear the deeply moving story of a man who lived through one of the most difficult political realities of our time.
Ivan Simonovis shared his experience as a political prisoner — a journey marked by injustice, endurance, faith, and conviction. He spoke candidly about the emotional and psychological toll of imprisonment, the strength required to survive years behind bars, and the hope that sustained him through it all.
His testimony was not just historical — it was human. It was raw. It was reflective.
The audience listened attentively, many visibly moved by his courage and vulnerability.
One of the most impactful parts of the evening was the interactive Q&A session. Attendees had the opportunity to ask thoughtful questions, dive deeper into his experiences, and engage in authentic conversation with the author.
This is exactly what Tarde Literaria is about — creating a space where readers don’t just hear a story, but connect personally with the storyteller. It’s about building bridges between authors and community members through dialogue, reflection, and shared learning.
The literary journey continues.
Our next Tarde Literaria will feature Andrea Alvarado on March 10th, and we are excited to host this upcoming event at:
📍 Kokai Sushi – Doral at 6pm on Tuesday, March 10th

Immigration Attorney
"As an immigration attorney, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible work Americas Community Center does for our immigrant community. Through their programs and outreach, they have created a platform that truly empowers individuals seeking a better future in this country. Thanks to the network they've built—especially through Americas Business Networking—I’ve been able to collaborate with fellow immigration attorneys, share resources, and extend our reach far beyond what we could do alone. Together, we've provided guidance, clarity, and hope to individuals and families facing complex immigration challenges. This organization is more than just a support system—it’s a bridge that connects professionals with those who need us most. I’m proud to be a part of their mission." Americas Community Center empowers immigrants, connects professionals, and builds hope—impacting lives through collaboration, clarity, and a shared mission.
Bloomin Blinds
My name is Male Medana, I arrived at Americas Community Center four years ago when I emigrated from Argentina. I started with ABN for networking purposes, as a way to promote our business Bloomin Blinds a window coverings treatment franchise that we opened as part of our move to the United States. Little by little, I got to know more about Americas Community Center, and not only I get involved, but my family also became engaged in lots of programs. As I always say, it was not just about networking; it gave me the opportunity to meet amazing people who have taught me a lot. Americas is a large Family where I met several participants who helped me integrate into the United States. Through this experience, I learned a lot about this country , my actual city Weston and, most importantly, found support in becoming part of the community. I will always be eternally grateful to Fabio, Alexis, and their family for welcoming me into Americas Community Center. Not only for helping me integrate into the community but also for teaching me how to grow both in my business and as a person. Thank you so much!
Ociris Multiservices Cleaning
Americas is a community that works. I’ve been a part of the ABN networking group for the past year, and recently, I witnessed just how powerful this community truly is. A close friend of mine was going through a very difficult time — her daughter was in and out of the hospital with serious health struggles. Without hesitation, participants of ABN stepped in to help. An insurance agent offered guidance and advice even though my friend wasn’t a client. A doctor from a medical office provided telemedicine support, despite the little girl not being a patient. And the support didn’t stop there — the list goes on. What you find at Americas Community Center and within this networking group is more than just business connections. You find kind-hearted professionals who are driven by a spirit of service. This is a network that truly shows up when it matters most.
