Zurami Pascual, a radiant force from Havana, Cuba, embarked on her journey to Miami’s shores when she was just three months old. Despite the transition to a new land at such a tender age, Zurami’s heart remained deeply tethered to her Cuban roots, instilling within her a profound sense of resilience and determination.
In Miami, Zurami’s (Zuri as her friends and family call her) world flourished around her son, AJ, whose laughter and boundless energy brought light to her every day. Alongside AJ, Zurami found solace and strength in the memories of her late mother, Mimi, a hardworking and tenacious woman who left an indelible mark on Zurami’s spirit. Mimi’s legacy, forged from humble beginnings in Miami with only $27 to her name, serves as a guiding light for Zuri, inspiring her to fill the formidable shoes left behind.
Driven by an unwavering passion for entrepreneurship and community impact, Zurami has carved out a formidable presence in Miami’s dynamic business landscape. As the owner of various ventures, making Boca Tanning Clubs (her main pride and joy)she has not only achieved remarkable success but has also harnessed her platform to champion causes close to her heart. Her partner in all her ventures is AJ owning a charter company Euphoric Charters and most recently launching ATM machines all over her beautiful city and by the  looks of things  not stopping there. Collaborating with esteemed fundraising foundations, Zuri  has emerged as a beacon of hope, spearheading initiatives that uplift the community and empower those in need.
Beyond the boardroom, her philanthropic spirit extends into the fabric of Miami’s social scene, garnering respect and admiration from peers and partners alike. Her commitment to making a difference serves as a testament to her character and values, inspiring others to join her in forging paths of positive change.
In every facet of her life, her Cuban heritage, love for her family, and dedication to serving others shine brightly, illuminating a path of compassion, generosity, and boundless possibility. Additionally, her  passion for fitness is evident to all who encounter her, as she embodies strength and vitality in both body and spirit. Moreover, dogs hold a special place in her heart, and she quietly serves as a secret Santa, rescuing and providing homes for shelter dogs, embodying the selfless love and compassion she learned from her mother.  Asking Zuri what are her passions her simple reply is “making AJ and my mother proud and being half the woman she was”….

Masiel Moreira
Vivir en la calle y no tener derecho a recibir ninguna ayuda del gobierno ni tan siquiera para el cuidado de su salud, no es la típica historia de una mujer que logra ser dueña de un imperio en el mundo de los centros de salud y bienestar para los grandes y chicos…. Pero, esta sí es la historia de masiel moreira, una de nuestras mujeres mega exitosas del 2023.  Nació en cuba y se mudó a los estados unidos en busca de un mejor futuro.  En ese entonces comienza su batalla legal por un estatus migratorio que quedó en un limbo sin solución.  Diez años le tocó vivir en la sombra de un sistema que no reconoce a los ilegales.  Diez años sin derecho a recibir cuidados médicos por no poder tener la ayuda que le brinda el país a sus ciudadanos.  Es de este comienzo tan difícil, es de donde surge una mujer empoderada, con un corazón mucho más grande que las riquezas que le pueden generar sus operaciones financieras.  Sus reconocimientos y premios otorgados por diferentes organizaciones y por el gobierno local y federal no tardaron en llegar tanto como lo fue su residencia legal.  Comenzó su carrera en la industria de servicios en un modesto centro de la pequeña habana desde donde inicio su labor filantrópica bajo el nombre de “community health and wellness center – la clínica del pueblo”, destacandose por su labor en pro de la salud y el bienestar de los adultos y los ninos de la comunidad. Hoy cuenta con 5 clinicas del pueblo, clinicas que brindan programas de ayuda a las personas sin seguro medico y con pocos ingresos a un costo muy bajo.
Masiel anualmente desarrolla una serie de programas comunitarios a traves de sus clinicas como el “free care fridays “, el programa pink para mamografias y medicinas gratis. El 21 de agosto es el dia de masiel moreira otorgado por el alcalde tomas regalado.
Es para mega tv es un honor tener con nosotros a masiel moreira, un ejemplo a seguir y definitivamente una mujer mega exitosa
