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.)
In addition to attending and participating in all three events, especially the Taste of Haiti, I decided to cast my name into the running for the 4th Annual Mr/Ms May 18 Facebook Contest. It is a contest sponsored by Ms. Eveline Pierre and the Haitian Heritage Museum. Each year an outstanding Haitian American is chosen to represent the HHM and have the honor of donning the crown of Mr/Ms May 18. (Btw May 18 is celebrated as Haitian Flag Day.) I feel this will be quite the accomplishment in my journey deeper into my Haitian heritage.
