Stories from the diaspora.

From Konpa to Goals: How the Diaspora Is Carrying Haiti’s Soul — and Demanding a Seat at the Table

This week, Haiti’s U-20 team kept its World Cup dream alive with a 3-2 win over Cuba, while New York celebrated the first-ever Konpa Day and Montreal marked 20 years of Haïti en Folie. These aren’t just feel-good stories — they’re proof that when the state fails, the diaspora builds, dances, and scores. But one Haitian-American leader is fighting for her political life in Brooklyn, and her fate could reshape our power.

TPS Is Dead. Now ICE Is Coming for Our Homes, Our Pews, Our Elders — Nou La, Men Fòk Nou Aji.

From Springfield to Brooklyn, Haitian families are being forced to choose between mortgages and survival, while ICE ankle monitors and empty pews mark a community under siege. But even as the UN-backed force stalls in Port-au-Prince and a financier walks free, our faith and our fight remain — here's what you need to know and what you can do today.

The US Built Its Economy on Our Hands — Now It's Throwing Us Away. Here's What We Do.

As TPS ends, Haitian workers are being forced out of airports, nursing homes, and trucking jobs — and the US economy is already feeling the pain. But this isn't a eulogy. It's a battle plan.

They Took Our Status. Now They Want Us to Vanish. Nou La.

As TPS ends, Haitians across the U.S. are disappearing from public life — empty pews, shuttered businesses, streets that feel like a curfew. Meanwhile, Haiti is in no condition to receive anyone. This is not just a policy failure; it's an erasure. And we refuse to be erased.

A Table for No One: Boynton Beach Restaurant Empties as TPS Ends — And We’re All Paying the Price

When TPS ends, it’s not just a legal status that disappears — it’s customers, jobs, and whole businesses. A longtime Haitian restaurant in Boynton Beach is watching its sales drop as the community’s buying power shrinks. This is the story of a local economic domino effect that should worry every Haitian in the diaspora.

Nou La! Edwin Raymond Just Made History as NYC’s First Haitian American Sheriff — and It’s About Damn Time

On August 3, 2026, Lieutenant Edwin Raymond was sworn in as New York City’s first Haitian American sheriff. This isn’t just a title — it’s a seismic shift in who holds power, and a direct challenge to the systems that have long mistreated our people. Here’s why this matters, and what you can do about it.
