2023 Up and Comer Honoree: Dr. Kymrae Mizell-Hill

Meet Dr. Kymrae Mizell-Hill, Founder and Executive Director of Whoamentoring Works, Inc.

Dr. Mizell-Hill earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hospitality and Event Management from the University of Central Florida, where she received formal training and experience in guest services, marketing, and special event production. In 2007, she relocated from her hometown, Fort Lauderdale, to the “Queen City,” Charlotte, NC, where she originally worked in Hotel Catering Sales and Event Management. However, while progressing in her own career and serving her community, she recognized that she desired to help others develop and seek their highest potential, so she decided to pursue a career path to educate and train adults. Soon after, Dr. Mizell-Hill obtained a Master’s Degree in Adult Education – Human Resource Development and a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Organizational Leadership Studies from North Carolina A&T State University. She continued to climb her career ladder by working for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Talent Development for Fortune 500 companies, where she recruited talent and facilitated curriculum-based training. To continue her journey to be a catalyst for organizational development, she founded the TOC Consulting Group, where she consults individuals and organizations. Additionally, she serves as an Adjunct Professor for both Broward College and Miami Dade College, where she has been recognized as a stellar educator. Dr. Mizell-Hill’s most recent career endeavor has been serving as a member of the executive team for the FLITE Center as the Director of Human Resources and Leadership Development.

Dr. Mizell-Hill is also committed to philanthropy as she is the Founder and Executive Director of Whoamentoring Works, Inc., a nonprofit organization that focuses on the development of marginalized youth and adult women through curriculum-based CV programs and empowering events. In addition to her own nonprofit, she is a servant leader who has been appointed to Boards and volunteers her time and services to other organizations, such as Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Inc., NAACP Fort Lauderdale/Broward, L.A. Lee YMCA Mizell Community Center, Dress for Success Miami, Sistrunk Annual Festival, and HBCU Pride Nation. She takes great pride in educating, serving, and advocating for her community.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
