Meet the Team
Tatiana Hernandez Committee Co-Chair
Having spent half her life in Miami, Tatiana understands the power of culture in building communities. She strives for a future where diversity is celebrated, and where people from all cultures feel a sense of freedom and belonging.
“The Community ACTS Fund addresses the fact that, while all arts, cultural and scientific organizations work hard to thrive, there are systemic and structural inequities that negatively impact organizations founded, led, and focused on Black, Indigenous, communities of color and those from historically marginalized communities.
I am proud that large SCFD organizations recognized these inequities and made a commitment to changing and creating a more equitable distribution of resources. I am inspired that collectively we are working to transform existing funding distribution systems and developing alternatives that will continue to support all residents and the organizations that make our community rich.”
