about us

Haiti is more than a country—it is a story of strength, a heartbeat of resistance, and a canvas of vibrant culture. Nestled in the Caribbean, sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, Haiti is the first Black republic in the world, the first nation born from a successful slave revolt in 1804. This revolutionary legacy is the root of who we are: proud, fearless, and unbreakable.
We are a people united by the spirit of Toussaint Louverture, Dessalines, and Catherine Flon, voices of liberation and symbols of dignity. Our flag is a testament to our unity and resilience, bearing the phrase “L’union fait la force” — unity makes strength.

Our culture is a vibrant symphony of rhythm and color, a kaleidoscope of traditions and customs that captivate the senses.
It dances to the drum beat, the sway of Rara music, and the sacred ceremonies of Vodou, where ancestral spirits are honored.
It is painted in the bold strokes of Haitian art, filled with everyday life, dreams, and divine visions.

It is sung in Haitian Creole, a language that echoes our diverse heritage, infused with African, French, Taino, and Spanish roots, a testament to our rich cultural tapestry. Our tradition is survival and celebration.
We share our stories in lakou, communities where neighbors are family.
We pass down wisdom through proverbs, music, and oral storytelling.
