We had the good fortune of connecting with Elynice Wilson Da Silva and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elynice Wilson, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor to my and everyones success is your why and in my case my why is my family which ignites my passion to keep moving forward and moving upward with my goals and aspirations. Also is everything that I’ve been through that I use as a catalyst instead of allowing it to stagnate me and my endeavors. Their can never build a brand without a purpose.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Africa United GlobaI is an essential import and export company located in the Miami Florida area that is building direct connections and routes from the Port of Miami to over 50 countries in Africa. We are founded on Capitalizing off the Goods, Services and Relationships between the two Continents. Our purpose is to influence a diversified culture, healthy life style and bring opportunities to our city..

I am very proud and excited because we are doing something that has never been done before.

The challenges I’ve been having are navigating through our cities regulations, infrastructure and opening peoples minds to see the benefits of diversifying our culture. Miami being one of the most saught out vacation destinations with hundreds of thousands of people visiting on the daily basis can truly utilize the products and services my company provides which make the tourist experience all the more comfortable. I have developed the right relationships and shared the right information to move forward effectively and fill the void of what this city needs.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
To encourage and advocate the diversity that which my company stands for I would take any one of my guest to different parts of the city. First we would start off with brunch at Nikki beach located in the south point area of south beach Miami Florida feeling like you on Dubai with all the white outside decoration, next we would take them to HistoryMiami Museum, formerly known as the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, is a museum located in Downtown Miami, Florida, HistoryMiami Museum is actually the largest history museum in the State of Florida.

For lunch For sure need to try the best Latin culture restaurant calls The Garden house, it’s a Colombian restaurant that’s served a high quality and home make Colombian and Latin food in Miami Beach . The restaurant has a beautiful outside seating view, which offer a great atmosphere for families and couples. A great Colombian restaurant.

A walk into Wynwood Walls to see the passion Street art described in different forms and colorful murals it’s so Fascinating. Wynwood Walls is basically a aoutdoor museum showcasing large-scale works by some of the world’s best-known street artists, galleries, unique clothing boutiques but doesn’t stop here at night time we have bars and clubs open until 5 am, playing all kinds of music, one of my favorites lounges is call Social 3, it’s an very Discrete place on NW 24th St.. It’s a rooftop, the vibes are completely different and special.

After probably going down to Downtown, walking on Bayside Market area is everything, some people call Heart of Miami, we can shop some lil things and while looking in to international cuisine, coming in and out, on the beautiful bay and if lucky we may see a free live concert right there, every year Pitbull performance on New Year’s Eve.

During the week I would take my guess to a Miami Heart Game on the AAA stadium, basketball games is always fun and noise.

And for dinner probably Komodo or Nobu and finished at the club LIV inside Fontaineblue hotel I’m not a clubs person but as everyone knows club LIV is part of Miami culture just like Club Mangos in Ocean Dr, present with Latin music and
Amazing live performances.

Before my guest leaves we would have to do a walk through by liberty city, explore all the city garden and history around.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Honestly there is so many people that I feel have supported, motivated and inspired me on my path But briefly id like to first acknowledge God for putting me in the position to change my life as well as others and my family for being there to support me the whole way through and furthermore id like to thank Sylvester Okere President of UPAC (United People for African Congress) based in Washington, D.C. For allowing me to represent them as the First and Youngest African Chairwoman in the State of Florida. I want to thank Cheick Thiero Executive producer at Voanews and CEO of Do africa (Son of Africa Org.) for the mentorship on business development that he provides. I would like to thank Hon George Hamilton, Consul-General of Sierra Leone in Miami for the partnership and encouragement. And Finally I would like to thank Executive Director Miami-Dade County International Tradd Consortium Jonathan Ward and our City and Mayor in general for accepting and embracing my project and ideas.
