¿Cómo construir un Miami más inclusivo? La Fundación Ford ofrece soluciones
Xavier de Souza Briggs creció siendo hijo de una madre soltera, con ascendencia brasileña, europea y bahameña. Se trasladó a Miami muy joven y aterrizó entre la comunidad cubanoamericana en la Belen Jesuit Preparatory School. Xavier y su madre vivían en un modesto apartamento, a pocas manzanas de una biblioteca pública, un lugar que le abrió el mundo. La educación académica rigurosa y basada en valores que recibió en Belén, donde estaba implícito el compromiso con el servicio, le llevó finalmente a ocupar puestos docentes en el MIT y a servir en la administración Obama, antes de incorporarse a la Fundación Ford como vicepresidente de oportunidades económicas y mercados. Briggs pasaría a formar parte de un cambio trascendental en la fundación, que hace dos años anunció que dedicaría todas sus subvenciones a combatir la desigualdad y recientemente se comprometió a destinar 1.000 millones de dólares de su dotación a inversiones relacionadas con su misión.
