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.)

Haitian Heritage Museum

This past weekend I attended the 1st Annual Societe des Arts Fete Blanc (1st Annual Arts Society White Party) presented by the Haitian Heritage Museum. A dream realized by the HHM's Executive Director, Ms. Eveline Pierre, the museum opened its doors in 2004 and is proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary. Located in the Arts District in Miami, Fl it is the first museum, outside of Haiti, dedicated solely to Haitian arts and culture.

Honoring one of Haiti's heroes and military leaders, the featured theme of the exhibit is Toussaint L'Ouverture. Photos, paintings, and historical excerpts line the walls of the museum.

To help celebrate the 10 year anniversary, the author of the noted Haitian American blog L'Union Suite and the 2014 winner of the HHM's Miss May 18 contest, Ms Wanda was in attendance. To entertain the crowd a very popular Haitian American comedian, ZoePoze graced the stage. Also in attendance were a few of the hosts of a very popular radio talk show located in Miami called The Morning Drive (shameless plug I know). Tune in every Monday thru Friday to WSRF 1580AM from 8am-10am ANN ALE (even more shameless lol)!!!
