Bowl for Education
Celebrating Haitian Heritage Month goes much farther than waving the Blue and Red flag, eating tassot and partying at Compas Fest. Haitians and Haitian Americans everywhere do their parts to share their favorite aspects of Haitian culture and history with the rest of the world. But the question that comes to mind is, what about Haiti? How does Haiti benefit from HHM?
Well this year a good friend of mine, Mrs Wanda wanted to do her part in helping Haiti directly. Partnered along with other Haitian Americans, not to mention a Haitian American themed radio show aka The Morning Drive on WSRF 1580AM (shameless plug), Mrs Wanda and the L'union Suite kicked off the 1st Annual Strike for Education Charity Bowl. A bowling tournament featuring some of today's most popular Haitian American entrepreneurs, personalities and artists whose proceeds go to benefit Fleur De Vie: Flower Of Life.

Vote for RHONEL for Mr May 18th
The month of May and Haitian Heritage Month have finally come around again!!! A full month dedicated to uplifting Haitian culture to the fullest! Haitian food, music, art, history, language and much more put on display for the rest of the world to appreciate!!! Red and Blue flags will be draped everywhere, kompa music will be blaring and shouts of "Sak Pase, Nap Boule" will ring in the streets!!!!
A few major events happening in Miami to commemorate this month are the 2nd Annual Haitian Parents Be Like Comedy Show, the 4th Annual Taste of Haiti and the 17th Annual Haitian Compas Festival. Comedians, chefs and musicians will be traveling from places such as New York, Haiti and parts of Europe to share their talents with the people of Miami. Just the same, people will be flocking from all over the globe to take part in the festivities in Miami. (We do have the largest population of the Haitian diaspora in the U.S.A.)
