The ongoing debate about foreign aid often lacks critical nuance. While many associate aid primarily with USAID or international organizations, the reality is broader.

The dismantling of USAID, executed without congressional approval, is a dangerous shift in American governance. To be clear, USAID formally became an agency by an Act of Congress in 1998.

When I facilitated leadership programs at the Haitian Center for Leadership and Excellence, I often shared with young leaders what's been called the "First Follower" video from Derek Sivers' Ted Talk on How to Start a Movement.

This morning, I woke up inspired by the incredible pictures from the CARIMI reunion concert at the UBS Arena. It wasn’t just a concert; it was a powerful demonstration of Haitian cultural pride.

As many of us celebrate the Christmas season and welcome the New Year, Haitians are enduring massacres by gangs, extreme levels of hunger, and devastating floods in Cap-Haïtien and Port-de-Paix.

Many Haitians believe that the growing insecurity in Haiti is orchestrated by the international community—particularly the governments of the United States, France, and Canada.

As Donald Trump secures another presidential victory, I find myself reflecting on the nature of democracy and leadership from a unique vantage point.

I've often wondered how society allows terrible events to unfold. The systematic oppression of African Americans, the genocide in Rwanda, the Holocaust – these weren't just sudden explosions of violence, but gradual descents enabled by collective silence and acceptance.

The Dominican Republic's recent crackdown on Haitian immigrants has triggered a growing humanitarian crisis that demands immediate international attention.

The recent massacre in Pont-Sondé has left me heartbroken—not only because of its brutality but because it is our people committing these atrocities, not foreign invaders.

In September 2023, I wrote an article titled "Immigration: Striking a Balance Between Empathy and Pragmatism," where I expressed concern about the potential impact of immigration on the upcoming election cycle.

As Haiti struggles through its political transition, I am increasingly concerned about the country's trajectory. While my analysis and views may not align with the mainstream narrative, I feel compelled to express a painful truth: we are failing the legacy left by our forefathers.

Trump has built his political career on spreading hateful rhetoric. During his 2016 campaign, he infamously claimed, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems... They're bringing drugs.

This past weekend, I had the honor of leading sessions for 100 young Haitians as part of the Haitian Center for Leadership's (CLE) Angaje program. This initiative empowers young Haitian social entrepreneurs who are dedicated to making a positive impact on their lives, communities, and country.

As I write this, I see my beloved Haiti still teetering on the edge of a precipice. Our people cry out for personal safety and food security, while our political elite dither and squabble over power and wealth. They are "fiddling while Haiti burns."
