Dear fellow Haitians Andeyò,

Like many of you, I have been carrying a heavy sense of dread these past few weeks. I have not written in a while, not because I had nothing to say, but because I have

Somewhere today, perhaps in Springfield, Brooklyn, or Mattapan, a Haitian family is sitting around a kitchen table trying to understand what the Supreme Court’s recent ruling means for their future…

This is a difficult reflection to write following Haiti’s 3-0 loss to Brazil, a match where the Grenadiers struggled to find their footing against one of the world’s most accomplished football nations

Imagine a squatter moves into your home while you are away. They change the locks, invite their friends over, and start picking up your mail and responding on your behalf.

When a foreign pathogen enters the human body, the immune system mobilizes every available resource toward a coordinated response, because survival depends on correctly identifying what belongs to the body and what does not.

Three hundred and twenty political parties and coalitions registered to participate in Haiti’s elections scheduled for August 30th.

We tend to see so-called “advanced” nations through rose-colored glasses and think of them as if they developed in an orderly, institutionally guided, consensus-driven manner.
