  • Amber Zhaoyang Wang: A Global Fashion Icon's Trailblazing Path

    Amber Zhaoyang Wang's journey from Luoyang, China, to the global fashion spotlight is nothing short of remarkable. Mentored by supermodel Coco Rocha, Amber quickly rose to prominence as an international model, gracing the pages of over 40 magazines such as Bazaar, GQ and Vogue, and strutting the runways of New York Fashion Week. Now, she's set to captivate audiences in her first feature film, #MODELS WANTED, a poignant exploration of sex trafficking in the modeling industry. Beyond her professional achievements, Amber's story is one of resilience and advocacy, shaped by her experiences as a gifted basketball player, an entrepreneur, and a dedicated law student. In this exclusive interview with Miami Living Magazine, Amber shares insights into her multifaceted career, her commitment to shedding light on pressing social issues, and her dedication to mental health awareness on a global scale. Miami Living (ML): Hi Amber, it is such a pleasure to have you join us today!  Can you share with us a bit about your extraordinary journey from being a talented basketball player in China in your teens to becoming an international model and now an aspiring actress? Amber: I've always been drawn to exploring diverse roles and embracing new challenges at different stages of my life. This curiosity and willingness to evolve have guided me from the basketball courts in China to international modeling runways and now towards the realm of acting. Each transition reflects my passion for growth and a deep-seated desire to express myself in varied, dynamic ways. ML: What inspired you to pursue a career in modeling, and how did your mentorship with supermodel Coco Rocha influence your path in the industry? Amber: Coco is really nice - she taught me how to pose, and I practiced at home every day. She also helped me perfect my walk and instilled in me the importance of taking my modeling career as seriously as I did basketball. Just like on the court, it's crucial to take responsibility for your career and strive for excellence in every aspect. ML: Could you tell us more about your upcoming film, #MODELS WANTED, and the significance of its message regarding the issue of sex trafficking in the modeling industry? Amber: In my upcoming film, #MODELS WANTED, I play a complex character - a psychopath model who leads a double life that viewers only come to grasp as the plot unfolds. It’s a thrilling role because the audience doesn't realize the truth until it's too late, adding an element of suspense and surprise. What excites me most about this project is how it blends entertainment with a crucial social message, raising awareness about the realities of sex trafficking within the modeling industry. It's a powerful film that I'm truly passionate about as it allows us to spotlight a serious issue while engaging and educating the audience. ML: Your experience with mental health struggles as an international student in the United States is incredibly relatable. How has your journey shaped your advocacy for mental health awareness, and what steps do you take to support others facing similar challenges? Amber: My personal experience with mental health struggles as an international student in the United States has deeply shaped my advocacy for mental health awareness. Being in that position, I understand the challenges firsthand. Most educational institutions have their own mental health departments, which are excellent resources. However, the problem often lies in students not knowing where these resources are or feeling hesitant to seek help initially. Recognizing this, I believe that providing guidance from the beginning is essential. I advocate for better orientation about mental health services upon students' arrival and work to reduce the stigma around seeking help, ensuring others can find support more easily when they need it. ML: You are currently attending Law School.  How do you balance such demanding academic pursuits with your thriving career in the modeling and entertainment industries? Amber: I've actually already graduated, but I've always enjoyed keeping myself extremely busy. Balancing my studies with a career in modeling and entertainment was certainly challenging, but it was also incredibly rewarding. It taught me the importance of time management and staying organized, skills that have been invaluable across all aspects of my life. This dynamic schedule has allowed me to pursue my passions without compromise. ML: With your busy schedule, how do you unwind and indulge in self-care? Any favorite relaxation rituals or guilty pleasures you'd like to share? Amber: I love sauna and Cryo therapy! ML: As you continue to diversify your career across modeling, acting, and law school, what exciting projects or goals are on the horizon for you? Any dreams or aspirations you're eager to pursue in the coming years? Amber: I'm excited to delve deeper into the world of cinema, with several film projects lined up in the coming years. My journey through modeling, acting, and law school has only fueled my passion for storytelling, and I'm eager to explore more diverse and challenging roles on the big screen. This blend of experiences continues to enrich my perspective and drive my aspirations, making every new project a thrilling opportunity to grow and connect with audiences worldwide.

Indoors, directly above the main bar you will find beautiful wooden oars hanging majestically from the ceiling. Upon entering, guests will see an actual full-sized canoe used as a light fixture-–hanging right above them, nautical rope dividing particular areas, and galley doors with portholes which definitely give you the feeling of being on a boat. And because there is seating right on the docks of the Intracoastal Waterway, it is no surprise that they also offer parking for guests who prefer arriving by boat (or yacht). Pull your boat right into one of their assigned spots and walk on inside. It’s a beautiful romantic experience. There are not that many places that offer waterfront dining like this. Outdoors, guests can sit at the bar or if they prefer a cozier spot, the lounge area around the firepit has a lovely ambiance. There is an abundance of seating at Boatyard, and each one offers the same unique experience. There is even a private event space for 200, right on the docks. It’s not unusual to catch a bridal shower, baby shower, or even a wedding party at Boatyard. This upscale restaurant has managed to capture the nautical vibes that run through the city of Fort Lauderdale. While it’s very sophisticated, there is also a relaxed feeling to it. So you can come celebrate a big anniversary, or you can also casually walk in, grab a cocktail, and watch the boats cruise by. In addition to having an amazing location, Boatyard has a phenomenal raw bar. Their seafood is very fresh and provided directly from east coast fishermen. In fact, right on their menu, guests can see who caught their food and where it came from. So whether you’re getting oysters, stone crabs, or shrimp, guests have the certainty it’s the freshest. Not sure what to get? The Seafood Towers are a way to start your meal. Perfect for sharing, here you get to sample a little bit of everything.

For the main dishes, Boatyard has crafted some unique options like the Florida Paella which comes with an assortment of seafood and house-made chorizo, or the Jumbo Shrimp Scampi served with orzo, spinach, and basil. Guests can also order seafood and steaks from the grill. There are four different cuts of meat and six different types of fish you can grill. Both seafood and steaks can be paired with a selection of sauces and sides. The food at Boatyard is very diverse and well presented.

This family-owned business has long been a premium source of unique, high-quality products and exceptional professional service. To celebrate a century of service and a future of innovation, Farrey’s hosted a 100th Anniversary Celebration at its North Miami Showroom on April 24. Invited VIP guests comprised of community leaders and Farrey’s long-time partners, including architects, general contractors, real estate agents, designers and more, had the opportunity to exclusively experience Farrey’s North Miami Showroom while mingling with CEO and Chairman Bud Farrey and Farrey’s executives. During the event, Farrey’s was honored with three proclamations from Miami-Dade County Governmental and Community Affairs Liaison Melonie Burke, North Miami Councilman Scott Galvin and North Bay Village Mayor Brent Latham, a testament to Farrey’s dedication and commitment to the Miami-Dade community. The exclusive event featured elegant touches and photo opportunities including a retro photo booth, a 100thanniversary-themed ice sculpture and a Fiat gelato car provided by Dolce Vita Gelati. A live violinist entertained and engaged with the guests throughout the event while they enjoyed complimentary wine, beer and hors d'oeuvres. “It’s an honor to celebrate this remarkable milestone and the Farrey’s legacy,” said Bud Farrey. “It’s been a pleasure to serve our community for the past 100 years. Our customers are like family to us, and this wouldn’t be possible without them and our long-time vendor partners who have trusted our team for their lighting, bath, kitchen and hardware needs.” Founded by John J. and Emily Farrey in 1924, Farrey’s has been a leading provider of products, technical resources and services for lighting, bath, kitchen and hardware projects. From its humble beginnings as a small general store that sold hardware, linens, lighting, china, fishing gear and other home products, Farrey’s has consistently upheld its commitment to being a trusted source of unique, superior offerings and unmatched expert services. A testament to the Farrey’s rich history in the Miami-Dade community, after the 1926 hurricane, John J. Farrey was appointed chief building inspector of Miami Beach, with a mandate to craft a building code to prevent that level of structural damage from occurring again. This historic document was later recognized as the first South Florida Building Code. In the 1960s, the third generation joined the family business. Bud Farrey became chairman and president, while Frank Farrey assumed the roles of vice president and chief financial officer. They guided the business through continuous expansion over the next decades. Bud and Frank upheld the family's legacy of success by demonstrating adaptability and growth with the times. Today, the fourth generation of the Farrey family continues its legacy of service with the largest product selection and in-stock inventory of its kind in South Florida. With more than 25,000 in-stock SKUs and two 30,000-square-foot showrooms — one in North Miami, built in 1980, and one in Coconut Grove, built in 2002 — the company owes its longevity to always having strong local, national and international vendor relationships as well as providing excellence service to South Florida trade professionals.

  • Norris Beats Verstappen for Breakthrough Maiden F1 Victory in Action-Packed Miami Grand Prix

    McLaren driver Lando Norris added his name to the list of Formula 1 race winners with a sensational breakthrough victory in Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, overhauling Red Bull rival Max Verstappen to take the chequered flag. Norris ran sixth in the early stages of the race, with fast-starting team mate Oscar Piastri the McLaren man who initially looked most likely to cause an upset, but a Safety Car at the midway point played perfectly into the Briton’s hands after he extended his opening stint. Norris emerged from the pits in the lead, with Verstappen demoted to second after stopping under normal racing conditions, and despite an initial attack from the latter at the restart, the Briton managed to maintain the position and then edge clear. A cool, calm and collected performance thereafter, and balance problems for Verstappen, meant there was no stopping Norris from banishing the demons of his near-miss at the 2021 Russian Grand Prix and becoming a race winner at the 110th time of asking. Race results Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2024 Final Results: Verstappen settled for second amid his relative struggles behind the wheel, while Charles Leclerc completed the podium ahead of Ferrari team mate Carlos Sainz, who clashed with Piastri late on in an incident that sent the Australian back into the pits for a new front wing. Sergio Perez wound up fifth in the second of the Red Bulls, having completed another stop under the Safety Car, as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell salvaged some solid points on a challenging weekend for Mercedes in sixth and eighth respectively. Yuki Tsunoda gave RB another reward in seventh, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso crossed the line ninth and Esteban Ocon capitalised on Piastri’s problems to finish 10th and score a morale-boosting first point of the season for the Alpine team. Haas had been on course for another top-10 result in the opening exchanges, only for Nico Hulkenberg to slip down the order as the race developed, leaving him 11th at the flag from the other Alpine machine of Pierre Gasly. Piastri battled his way back up to 13th after that aforementioned front wing change, albeit being warned by McLaren not to spark another incident and Safety Car period as Norris led, clearing Zhou Guanyu’s Kick Sauber just before the finish. After starring in the Sprint, Daniel Ricciardo could do no more than 15th on Grand Prix day, followed by Valtteri Bottas (Kick Sauber) and Lance Stroll (Aston Martin), whose fierce battle with Williams rival Alex Albon saw him earn a 10-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. Albon was the final finisher in 19th, behind the Haas of Kevin Magnussen, who served a 10-second sanction of his own for a collision with Williams driver Logan Sargeant that put the home favourite out of the race. As the drivers headed back to the pits, the emotions came out for Norris over the radio as he and his race engineer, along with team boss Zak Brown, revelled in a milestone moment that also gave McLaren a first Grand Prix win since Monza back in 2021. Norris emerged on top for an emotional maiden win and McLaren’s first in almost three years AS IT HAPPENED After an action-packed double-header of the Sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday, which reigning world champion Verstappen mastered, attention soon turned to Sunday’s main event and 57 laps around the Miami International Autodrome. Only one change was made to the starting order after the grid-deciding session, with Ricciardo going from 18th to 20th thanks to the application of a three-place penalty he picked up at the previous race in China for breaching the Safety Car regulations. When the field lined up on the grid and the tyre blankets came off, it was confirmed that most drivers would be starting on the medium rubber, while Hamilton, Alonso, Magnussen and Ricciardo opted for hards, and Bottas softs, in what Pirelli expected to be a one-stop encounter. Pole-sitter Verstappen managed to defend his lead off the line for the second time this weekend as the race got under way, slotting in front of squabbling team mates Leclerc and Sainz, who had to take avoiding action when Perez dramatically locked up and fired his way into the first corner. Perez’s mistake, along with the Ferraris almost banging wheels, opened the door for Piastri to pull off a remarkable rise from sixth to third at the exit of Turn 1, just behind Leclerc, with Sainz slipping back to fourth from the recovering Perez, Norris, Hamilton and Hulkenberg. Verstappen headed into the Grand Prix having led every session of the weekend so far Further back, Alpine pair Ocon and Gasly went wheel-to-wheel for several corners in an exchange that no doubt raised heartrates on the Alpine pit wall, until the latter settled it in his favour, while Hulkenberg pounced on the hard-shod Hamilton at the start of Lap 2 for seventh. A couple of tours later, rather than looking in his mirrors, Piastri edged closer to Leclerc and used the Drag Reduction System on the lengthy run between Turns 16 and 17 to snatch second place from the Monegasque, as race leader Verstappen now sat two seconds up the road. As the race settled down, a series of opening lap replays, including an onboard from Perez, showed that the Mexican came perilously close to running into the back of team mate Verstappen at Turn 1, with the stewards looking into a potential jump start before deciding against any further action. With his hard tyres coming into play, Hamilton muscled his way past Hulkenberg for P7 at Turn 11, only to lose the place again with a lock-up at Turn 17. “Nearly just had a big crash there,” reported Hamilton over the radio in response to the first overtake, having been squeezed towards the wall. Hamilton regained his composure to attack Hulkenberg once more over the following laps, this time making a move stick for good under braking for Turn 11, and it was not long before the German lost eighth to the other Mercedes of Russell. Williams and Kick Sauber were the first teams to pit as the lap count edged past double figures, with all four taking on hard tyres, while Hulkenberg also decided that enough was enough after losing out to the Silver Arrows as he switched to the white-marked rubber. Attention then turned to when the front-runners would pit, as Verstappen stretched out his advantage over Piastri to some three seconds, followed by Leclerc, Sainz, Perez and Norris, who was doing his best to get past the second of the Red Bulls but could not quite get close enough. Perez released Norris into some welcome clean air when he became the first of the leading group to pit for fresh tyres on Lap 18, returning to the track with hard rubber bolted to his car in 10th position, behind Hamilton, Russell, Tsunoda and Ocon. It did not take long for the next stop to arrive, as Leclerc boxed on Lap 20 and followed Perez onto hards, with a particularly quick service from Ferrari – dipping under the two-second mark – putting pressure on Piastri and McLaren ahead of their visit to the pits. It was all looking under control for Verstappen until he skipped over the Turn 14/15 chicane and struck a bollard, which he carried with him for a few more metres and disposed of at the exit of Turn 16, prompting the Dutchman to radio his team and ask for a front wing check. Piastri charged his way up the order during a dramatic start to proceedings A Virtual Safety Car was soon deployed to allow a marshal to hop over the wall and retrieve the out-of-place bollard, prompting ‘cheap’ stops for Ocon, Alonso and Magnussen under the caution, with leader Verstappen then pitting at the end of Lap 23 after the VSC had ended. Piastri, Sainz and Norris all continued up front, rather than immediately following Verstappen onto new tyres, while TV cameras picked up a thrilling four-way scrap involving Ocon, Hulkenberg, Alonso and Gasly as cars filtered back in from their pit stops. “It’s impossible to see the kerb now in the chicane,” reported Hamilton over the radio, following Verstappen’s moment, before he followed team mate Russell into the pits – the seven-time champion taking on mediums, and the younger Briton moving to hards. On Lap 27, race leader Piastri decided it was time to pit, followed by Sainz, as both drivers switched to hard tyres and gave Norris a run at the head of the field – leaving the latter, Tsunoda, Zhou and Ricciardo as the only drivers yet to stop. Moments later, the yellow flags came out – and then a full Safety Car was deployed – for an incident involving Magnussen and Sargeant, playing brilliantly into the hands of Norris, who was now able to complete his pit stop with a much smaller time loss. Norris benefitted from a Safety Car to jump Verstappen for the lead of the race Tsunoda, Zhou and Ricciardo also took the opportunity to swap tyres, with Perez coming in for a second time, as replays showed Magnussen attempting a move on Sargeant through the Turn 2 flick, where contact sent the American into the barriers and the Dane back to the pits for repairs. Sargeant swiftly reported over the radio that he was “okay”, but his Williams had sustained terminal damage upon impact and, as such, it marked a disappointing end to the first of three home Grands Prix he is set to take part in this season. After that drama, Norris came back out from his stop in front of Verstappen, with Leclerc holding third over the demoted Piastri, Sainz and Perez, followed by Tsunoda, Hamilton, Russell and Ocon in the final points-paying positions as it stood. An update from the stewards then confirmed that Magnussen would be given a 10-second time penalty for the clash that forced Sargeant into retirement, adding to the series of sanctions he received in his wheel-to-wheel battling with Hamilton in the Sprint race. At the end of Lap 32, the Safety Car peeled into the pits and Norris got the encounter back under way, but the McLaren racer immediately came under pressure from Verstappen and had to go defensive through the first sector to keep his place at the head of the pack. An error from Verstappen then gave Norris some breathing space, after which he pumped in a series of rapid sector times to move out of DRS range, while the other McLaren of Piastri got involved in a scrap with Sainz down at Turn 11 – the latter feeling that he was forced off the track in the process. Norris continued to edge away from Verstappen as the laps ticked by, building a 2.5s cushion over with 20 tours to go, as the second-placed man reported over the radio that “I can’t get the car to turn” and described the situation as a “disaster”. After expressing frustration that Piastri had escaped a penalty for their earlier scuffle, Sainz managed to find a way past at Turn 17, with the McLaren driver fighting back at Turn 1 but then locking up and losing places to the Spaniard, Perez and Hamilton. With replays showing contact between Sainz and Piastri under braking for Turn 17 (an incident that will be looked at by the stewards post-race), Piastri sustained some damage to his front wing and was forced to pit for a new one, adding insult to injury as he dropped all the way to the back of the field. Piastri then set about charging his way up the order and attempting to get back into the points, but some lock-ups and wheel-to-wheel moments prompted a reminder from his race engineer not to get involved in any drama that could cause another Safety Car and compromise Norris. Piastri and Sainz had multiple run-ins over the course of the afternoon Some other late action involved Albon and Stroll, with the latter going off track in his quest to come out on top and landing a 10-second time penalty as a result, meaning any hope he had of scoring points were dashed. Up front, there were no such dramas as Norris – driving with plenty of confidence and maturity – expertly saw out the final few laps to become a Grand Prix winner for the very first time, while earning McLaren their first win in almost three years. Verstappen was some 7.5 seconds back in the runner-up spot, with Leclerc a couple of seconds further adrift in third, Sainz taking fourth ahead of his trip to the stewards alongside Piastri, and Perez completing the top five positions. Mercedes scored points with Hamilton and Russell in sixth and eighth, split by Tsunoda, as Alonso and Ocon completed the top-10 places from Hulkenberg, Gasly, the recovering Piastri, Zhou, Ricciardo, Bottas and Stroll. Albon was the final finisher in 19th, with team mate Sargeant having to watch the rest of his home race from the sidelines after being punted out at mid-distance by Magnussen, who wound up 18th via that extra pit stop for repairs.
