Trick Daddy, ex-lawmaker to speak at Miramar First Fridays event. What to know
Miramar Mayor Wayne M. Messam is hosting a special edition of First Fridays: Network and Chill for Black History Month.
On Friday, Feb. 6, rapper Maurice “Trick Daddy” Young and Sistrunk Smitty’s Wings owner Christopher Smith will join the mayor to host a dialogue on entrepreneurship and community.
The event will be held in the Miramar Cultural Center banquet hall from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Keeping the theme of economic empowerment, the event will also highlight the work of Anita Fain Taylor and the city’s Economic Development and Housing Department.
“As with all Network & Chill events, the focus is on entrepreneurship, real dialogue, community-driven success and meaningful connections. Come network, learn, and be inspired by leaders who are building businesses, creating pathways and reinvesting in the community,” city officials said in a news release.
Trick Daddy is a Miami legend in the hip-hop industry, now famous for his entrepreneurship. He has two Sunday’s Eatery restaurants in South Florida, and early arrivals to the event have a chance at winning his cookware, #TrickIGotMyPots.
Smith, a former state senator, is also keeping Black history alive along Sistrunk Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale with his restaurant Sistrunk Smitty’s Wings.
Admission to the event is free with RSVP, but space is limited.
The First Fridays: Network and Chill series began in 2025 and has had guests such as Rohan Marley and Killer Mike.
