Narrative:
Location: near pbi. On climb out from mia with thunderstorms all around, and on an assigned heading of about 025 degrees, center gave me a vector of 330 degrees, which I declined because of a thunderstorm on my left. This put us in conflict with an aircraft at our 12 O'clock that might have been level at FL210. I continued my climb to FL230 as instructed and received a TCASII TA. A chat with the ZMA ATC supervisor revealed a loss of separation had occurred. Supplemental information from acn 446677: he then asked for an expedited climb out of FL210 we believe due to inbound traffic for mia. The captain later was asked to call a supervisor so she could explain to us what occurred after they reviewed the tapes.
