Miami Herald Columnist Reflects on Nearly Two Decades of Community Storytelling
Christina Mayo, a columnist for the Miami Herald, has announced the conclusion of her long-running column, which has been a staple in the South Florida community for 19 years. Mayo took over the 'Friends and Neighbors' column from her mother, Bea Moss, a legendary writer and editor at the Herald. Throughout her tenure, Mayo has highlighted the positive contributions of local individuals and groups, covering a wide range of topics from artistic endeavors to environmental conservation efforts. Her stories have included features on local musicians, artists, and volunteers, as well as coverage of community events and initiatives. Mayo's work has been particularly impactful during challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, where she focused on the efforts of first responders and community support systems.
