Only issued in 1973; he was only 21-22 years old which is crazy lol; already two years into ruling the country. Surprising how he held onto power for 15 years

I love collecting historic Haitian currency; Haiti is so rich with history

I have also heard se pa pou dat and various other songs from Lucas Seb etc

I need more songs with that infectious Rete La beat.

What do you guys listen to? What do you play at haitian parties that gets everyone moving?

I love Haiti btw. Y'all are amazing.

NEWS Haiti's Imported Rice From The US Found to Have Toxic Levels Of Arsenic and Cadmium

614 Upvotes

U.S. rice exports to Haiti, which account for the bulk of supplies of the country's key food staple, contain unhealthy levels of arsenic and cadmium, heavy metals that can increase risks of cancer and heart disease, according to a recent study by the University of Michigan 

I believe this may be part of the answer to why Haiti is struggling after all these years. On top of the fact the US make import laws that decimated Haitian farmers.

Black countries have to grow their own food, not import it. Because outsiders who want to weaken or destroy them will sabotage them by any means they can

My haitian family Looking for relatives. Adopted 19 years ago in an Orphanage in Fonds Verrettes

25 Upvotes

Hi I'm 21f. I'm looking for people from Fonds Verrettes, or the whole of Croix-Des-Bouquets. I was adopted in 2007 and I was three years old, but I believe I was in the now Enfant Jeunese Orphanage much before that.

I know my birth parents names but I can't share because of privacy reasons I guess. I will say my father's surname is Jean Paul and my mother's Pierre, which I imagine are the most common and generic haitian surnames lol. But anyway, If these ring a bell to someone please contact me.

I know there was a flood that same year I was born, 2004 in May. My mom was pregnant with me at the time so she must have survived it because I wouldn't be here. Anyway, if you have any info I will be very grateful!!

If anyone is curious, the adoption was kind of sketchy. The adoption agency ( Different from Enfant Jeunesse) doesn't exist anymore and it's kind of creepy. I don't really know if it was all that legal to be honest.

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Safe to travel to Cap Haïtien?

16 Upvotes

Hi, I’m thinking about traveling to cap haïtien in January as American Airlines is restarting flights and looks like a cool spot to go. Is it safe for a white traveler like myself who speaks very basic French to travel there on my own? Some things I’d want to do is see the city but also leave the city to maybe visit the beach, sans souci palace and Laferrière citadel. Is it positive to get to these spots without a tour? I am a pretty experienced traveler just a little worried about the safety there. Any comments or advice is helpful, really debating taking the couple days of pto to make this trip

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Haiti’s government just signed a $780K/year contract with Roger Stone’s firm. Worth knowing what’s in it — and what isn’t.

10 Upvotes

Pulled this straight from the FARA registration: Exhibit AB, #7742, filed September 16, 2026. Haiti’s Foreign Minister, Raina Forbin, signed a one-year, $780,000 contract ($65,000/month) with Drake Ventures — Roger Stone’s firm — for “issue advocacy” before the US government. Twelve-month term, auto-renews unless either side cancels.

That’s the entire stated scope: issue advocacy. TPS, the status roughly 300,000 Haitian nationals are waiting on a decision about, isn’t mentioned once in the filing. Neither are the December elections or security assistance.

Not saying lobbying itself is the problem — governments do this all the time. But if this contract isn’t producing anything public on the one issue directly affecting hundreds of thousands of people, it’s fair to ask what exactly $65K/month is buying.

Has anyone seen reporting on what this has actually delivered so far?

The staircase has tiny houses on its risers. Then there’s the mosaic walkway at Lakou New York, and the painted animal masks by Jacmel artisans. Even an ordinary walk comes with something to stop and look at.

Does anyone recognize the artists behind these mosaics or masks? I’d love to put names to the work.

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Haitians Are Not Invisible — The Human Side of Haiti’s TPS Crisis

36 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about the Haitian families facing uncertainty surrounding Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Behind every headline are real people: mothers, fathers, children, workers, and families who have spent years building their lives and contributing to their communities.
Many are worried about their jobs, housing, and children’s futures. At the same time, loved ones in Haiti continue to face violence, displacement, and hardship.
As someone who cares deeply about the Haitian community, I believe these human experiences deserve more attention.
This is not just about immigration policy. It is about families, dignity, and the importance of supporting people during difficult times.
What do you think the public misunderstands most about the impact of TPS changes on Haitian families?
I would appreciate a respectful discussion and information about trustworthy resources that can help affected families.
