Pulse is a monthly Caribbean public affairs program that aims to give a better understanding of the island community. "We live in such a multicultural city that it's amazing to see how most people don't know about each other’s culture beyond the usual stereotypes and clichés," she says. "Hopefully Pulse can shed some light on the Caribbean community and way of life in South Florida." Pulse also features special episodes with renowned artists and prominent personalities in the Miami community and internationally.
