Being able to document this 1st Anniversary was truly an honor.

Thank you for allowing me to capture such a beautiful and historic moment for the Haitian community. As a videographer, I’m always looking for stories that carry meaning, and this was so much more than an event — it was a celebration of culture, history, community, and the generations to come.

Through my lens, I had the privilege of witnessing a community come together to preserve and celebrate what makes Haitian culture so special. Every smile, performance, conversation, and moment was a reminder that history isn’t just something we read about — sometimes, we get the opportunity to be there and document it as it happens.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed me, trusted me, and allowed me to be a small part of this incredible milestone.

I’m grateful to have been able to preserve these memories and tell this story through film.

❤️💙

Here’s to the first year, the history we’ve captured, and the many more chapters still to come.

✨Haitian Spotlight Series✨
Laela is a rising high school senior who works as an intern at the Toussaint Louverture Cultural Center. She is from Massachusetts, and her family is from Hinche, Haiti. Her favorite Haitian food is diri legume ak sòs pwa, and her favorite Haitian song is “Ke M Pa Sote.” She loves the strong presence of Haitians in Boston and feels very well supported by its Haitian community.

As stated by Laela, “Haitians are incredibly hard-working, determined, and driven. To think that we’re anything but that is simply asinine. We have immigrated all over the world and have made positive contributions everywhere we’ve gone.”
