Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” We had a celebrity sighting in North Key Largo last Wednesday.
Armando Christian Pérez, aka Mr. Worldwide and Pitbull, was out to dinner last Wednesday when my friend Kaelyn Gomez ran into him while she and her family were celebrating a birthday. Kaelyn is 16 and attends Coral Shores High School. She is also a superstar volunteer at the Upper Keys Humane Society where she helps bottle-feed neonatal kittens.
Pitbull has a house in Key Largo and frequently dines out when he is in town. He has also been known to pick up the tab for patrons and tip generously to our local restaurant staff.
Pitbull was born on Jan.15, 1981, in Miami to Cuban immigrant parents. While growing up, he was strongly encouraged by his family to take advantage of the privilege of living in America, and the opportunities it came with. He learned English by watching Sesame Street as a child. He attended South Miami Senior High School and Miami Coral Park High School.
In 2020, Pitbull partnered with local artist Wyland and the Wyland Foundation to raise awareness about water conservation and the “My Water Pledge” campaign to encourage residents of cities all over the United States to conserve water, energy and other natural resources.
So here’s my question: how do I get a cool nickname like “Mr. Worldwide?” Maybe my nickname could be “Mr. Keyswide,” “The Most Interesting Fox in the World” or “Mr. Furwide”? I’ll have to think about that one. I do believe that Pitbull should stop and meet me though, perhaps let me use my vocals on his next single? Sounds like the collaboration the world needs right now.
Anywho, that’s all for this week. Stay up to date with all things fox by visiting pawsitivebeginnings.org
Until next time, Reef, over and out!
