Thank you for the great news. We thank @ayannapressley.bsky.social and hardworking Congressmen and Congresswomen who care about the #Haitian community that was thrown into uncertainty for no reason and got the great job done for them. Appreciate your work 🙏

Most #Haitian Americans believe that a Voodoo family has a spirit protector whose role is to protect its members from the malevolent powers of other spirits

No #Haitian community on @bsky.app?

anthropologists estimate that about 1.2 million people in the United States are of #Haitian ancestry.

The use of folk healers is often limited because the medicinal preparations and elements of traditional health care are not available locally. The size of the local #Haitian group affects the number of traditional healers.

Jean-Baptiste Point du Sable, a trapper who settled on the shore of Lake Michigan was an early #Haitian arrival; he settled and established a trading post on the river at a point that would later become the City of Chicago

Stop Racist Migration Policies in the Dominican Republic Sign the petition to make a difference!

#Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic face collective expulsions and racial profiling and are routinely denied access to healthcare.

For almost three decades, from 1957 to 1986, when François "Papa Doc" and Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier were in power, political persecution caused #Haitian professionals, the middle class, and students to leave the island in large numbers

First-generation #Haitian Americans initially try home remedies prepared by members of the older generation; if these are unsuccessful, the person is advised to seek help from a physician, folk healer, or Voodoo priest

Many #Haitian Americans, however, served in Vietnam. #Haitian Americans currently serve in the U.S. armed forces; indeed, many of them were sent to Haiti to serve as #Creole interpreters during the efforts to reinstate President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

#Trump admin Asks #SCOTUS to End Protections for #Haitian Immigrants

Trump asked the #SupremeCourt to allow it to end a program shielding roughly 350,000 Haitians from #deportation. In the request, the second aimed at a specific group of #immigrants in recent weeks, the admin asserted that […]

here are second- and third-generation #Haitian Americans who simply identify themselves as black; also, some legal immigrants may find it difficult to admit to roots that go back to a Caribbean nation so often associated with superstition and poverty

{2026 New Release} Konbit by: Sony Ton-Aime Poems that capture a transformative and visionary way of life in Haiti. Konbit is a Haitian Creole word, a way of living, for which there is no direct translation in the English language. It captures the communal life in Haiti and is used for every event where neighbors are called upon to help each other. These poems revolve around the Bois-Caïman ceremony (the first konbit) when enslaved people in Saint-Domingue vowed to fight for their independence.

When I considered writing a 📕about the Haitian Rev & film, I thought it would be ultra-niche. Who but my #Haitian Studies colleagues would care?

It's been very unexpected that #SROS found readers across disciplines & outside academia. It's out 5 years & I got a new invite (in NOLA!) today. 🤯

Text: Haitian Creole Bible (https://biblehub.com/hcb/esther/3.htm) 1Kèk tan apre sa, wa Asyeris mete yon nonm ki te rele Aman nan yon gwo pozisyon. Li nonmen l' chèf sou tout lòt chèf nan peyi a apre wa a. Aman sa a te pitit Amedata, moun fanmi wa Agag. 2Wa a pase lòd pou tout anplwaye gouvènman li mete ajenou, bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Aman pou montre jan yo respekte l'. Tout anplwaye yo te fè sa vre esepte Ma-do-chay ki te derefize fè bagay konsa. 3Lòt anplwaye yo mande Ma-do-chay poukisa li t'ap dezobeyi lòd wa a te bay la

For my #Haitian (or Jewish) peeps, is this cute or what? I've got Esther 3:1-3. I'll ham it up when it's my turn: I'll be the first chanting (H)aman's name tonight.

'Bowing' is not a thing in Haiti, so the translation's lively: li mete ajenou, bese tèt yo jouk atè devan.
