We recently attended the electrifying Real Housewi

We recently attended the electrifying Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 premiere party in #Miami, where the cast dazzled in all-white looks and teased a season brimming with drama, sisterhood, and personal journeys.
Airing Wednesdays at 9PM ET/PT on @Bravo and streaming on #Peacock, Season 7 is captivating audiences with its vibrant Miami energy.
The premiere event introduced Stephanie Shojaee, a new “friend of” the group, whose bold personality is already shaking up the dynamic. Returning favorites are bringing their A-game, including proud Haitian stars @GuerdyDesign and @KikiBarth, alongside Alexia Nepola, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Nicole Martin, Marysol Patton, Adriana de Moura, and Larsa Pippen, each adding their unique spark to the season.
Guerdy Abraira, a proud Haitian woman, continues to inspire as a cancer-free beacon of resilience. Her openness about healing and redefining relationships has been a powerful thread this season, blending vulnerability with fierce confidence.
Kiki Barth, also proudly Haitian, is showing a deeper side of herself. “This season, you get to see more of my Haitian family and my dynamic at home,” she shared. Fans are getting an intimate look at Kiki’s life, with her Haitian heritage and family moments taking center stage, adding authenticity and heart to the show. Season 7 is a must-watch.

#LetsTalkAboutIt 🇭🇹⁠
In 2020, when #Akon announced his ambitious plan to build “#AkonCity” in #Senegal, it sparked excitement across the African diaspora, including Haiti. The $6 billion project, inspired by the fictional #Wakanda from Black Panther, promised a futuristic, crypto-powered metropolis along Senegal’s Atlantic Coast. For many Haitians, it sparked conversations about the need for a visionary leader to bring a similar transformative project to Haiti. But now, Senegal has officially pulled the plug on Akon City.⁠
⁠
Akon’s vision was bold: a high-tech city in Mbodiène featuring luxury accommodations, cultural centers, and sustainable infrastructure, all powered by his cryptocurrency, Akoin. Launched with fanfare and a groundbreaking ceremony in 2020, the project was supposed to open its first phase by 2026. Senegal’s government initially supported the plan, granting Akon 136 acres of prime coastal land. Yet, five years later, only one building stands. The project has stalled due to funding issues and unmet promises.⁠
⁠
Serigne Mamadou Mboup, head of Sapco-Senegal, the state’s tourism development agency, confirmed that the government has reclaimed most of the land after Akon failed to deliver. Reports say locals displaced for the project were promised compensation but are still waiting, raising concerns about its impact. The dream of a futuristic African city has been shelved.⁠
⁠
Senegal is moving forward with a scaled-back tourism plan for Mbodiène a 665 billion CFA franc (approx USD 1 billion) investment to create a regional tourism hub with hotels, apartments, a marina, and a seaside promenade to boost economic growth and attract visitors.⁠
⁠
Akon City represented hope for Haiti’s diaspora and those at home, a model for what a bold, diaspora-led initiative could achieve. Many #Haitians dreamed of a similar project: a modern, culturally vibrant hub to elevate Haiti’s image and economy. The collapse of Akon City is a cautionary tale. Funding, planning, & community engagement are critical. How can we harness our collective vision & resources to create sustainable progress? What lessons can we learn from Senegal’s experience? ⁠

There’s nothing more impactful than entrepreneur

There’s nothing more impactful than entrepreneurs pushing one another forward, and this past Saturday proved just that. The 2nd Annual Summer Expo, hosted by South Florida Haitian business owner @Nayalee_Pearl, was a phenomenal success. This year’s event was bigger and better, filled with the kind of energy and excellence that only our community can bring.
From the moment doors opened, the venue buzzed with ambition, collaboration, and connection. Entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and like-minded professionals came together to network, exchange ideas, and build relationships that will no doubt spark new ventures and long-term growth.
The lineup of panelist, speakers and special guests (@Mrswanda, @Vice2k @Maritzaboudoir @Ampliara @Fatiful, @Success_Jr, @PascaleBelony, @Melissacdieudonne) delivered powerful messages, sharing wisdom and strategies that left attendees inspired and ready to take their businesses to the next level. Each speaker brought a fresh perspective, energizing the crowd and reaffirming the importance of spaces like this one.
Equally impressive was the range of Haitian-owned businesses that showcased their work throughout the expo. From product-based brands and service providers to financial institutions and lifestyle companies, the event highlighted our community’s incredible depth, talent, and professionalism.
We are incredibly grateful to Nayalee Pearl and her team for the vision and dedication behind this growing platform. The Summer Business Expo is quickly becoming a must-attend event for South Florida’s entrepreneurial scene and if this year was any indication, next year will be even more incredible.

U.S. immigration authorities are ramping up effort $U.S. immigration authorities are ramping up efforts to obtain tenant information from landlords nationwide through administrative subpoenas, which are triggering serious legal and privacy concerns. Issued primarily by the anti-fraud unit of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), these subpoenas seek detailed records, including leases, rental applications, ID cards, and even the names of roommates. Unlike traditional subpoenas, these documents are not signed by judges, leaving landlords uncertain about whether they are legally required to comply. In cities such as #Atlanta, multiple landlords have reported receiving subpoenas requesting entire tenant files, which often include sensitive personal data like employment history, marital status, and family relationships. Real estate attorneys have criticized the move as an overreaching “fishing expedition,” warning that landlords could be caught in a legal bind, torn between protecting tenant privacy and avoiding conflict with immigration authorities. Legal experts caution that while immigration agencies like #ICE and #USCIS have administrative subpoena powers, they do not override tenant protection laws. Stacy Seicshnaydre, a law professor at #Tulane \University, noted that landlords could face legal liability for sharing tenant information without judicial oversight. Moreover, tenants are often not informed when their private data is handed over, raising significant concerns about transparency and privacy rights. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin, defended the practice, stating that ICE is authorized to issue such subpoenas and that failure to comply could result in legal consequences. Still, the full scope of the initiative remains unclear, with confirmed reports so far concentrated in only a handful of cities. As the controversy continues, experts strongly advise landlords to consult with legal counsel before responding to these administrative subpoenas.

During a new sit-down with @OldManEbro on #AppleMu

During a new sit-down with @OldManEbro on #AppleMusic, global Afro-fusion star @BurnaBoyGram opened up about his latest album, No Sign of Weakness. He also delved into the inspiration behind “4 Kampé II”, a powerful cultural collaboration that has sparked buzz beyond the studio.
Although not featured on the album, “4 Kampé II” has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments in Burna’s recent run of releases. The track, featuring Haitian singer #JoéDwètFilé, is a testament to the cross-cultural musical energy between #Africa and the #Haitian diaspora.
Burna revealed that it was rapper and DJ, @Justzoey who was instrumental in making the collaboration happen. “Zoey was persistent,” Burna shared. “He really believed in this connection and made sure it came to life.” Zoey's determination led to a record that unites genres, geographies, and shared histories.
“4 Kampé II,” a sequel to the original “4 Kampé,” blends Burna’s Afrobeat style with Kompa-inspired rhythms, creating an energetic anthem celebrating and uniting fans across Haiti and the African diaspora.
The conversation took a deeper turn as Ebro, known for his consistent advocacy for Haiti, highlighted the collaboration's cultural weight. Together, they briefly discussed Haiti’s revolutionary legacy, particularly the Haitian Revolution, as one of the most important yet often overlooked stories of resistance in global history.

Alan Junior Pierre, a 20-year-old #Haitian refugee

Alan Junior Pierre, a 20-year-old #Haitian refugee and student at Spring Valley High School in Pearl River, #NewYork, has been released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) detention after more than a month in custody. Pierre, who holds Temporary Protected Status (#TPS) and has a pending green card application, was detained during a routine immigration check-in on June 4, 2025, despite having no criminal record.⁠
⁠
The detention of Pierre, who entered the U.S. legally in January 2025 under a humanitarian parole program, sparked outrage in the tightly knit Haitian-American community. Pierre was held at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, #NewJersey, where he reportedly endured harsh conditions, including a week of being fed only bread and water. His father, Dutan Pierre, a U.S. citizen, expressed profound distress over his son’s detention.⁠
⁠
The release was secured through the joint efforts of Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to intervene. Lawler personally engaged with DHS officials, including Secretary Kristi Noem, to expedite Pierre’s release.⁠
⁠
Pierre’s attorney, Vince Sykes, highlighted the lack of communication from ICE, stating, “I had no communication channel into ICE, which is why I had to rely on the elected officials.” Sykes also noted that Pierre’s compliance with immigration protocols ironically led to his detention, as he was apprehended after attending a required appointment at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Application Support Center in the Bronx.⁠
⁠
The case highlights broader tensions surrounding U.S. immigration policy, particularly for #Haitians. Pierre’s release on July 9 was marked by an emotional reunion with his father. However, his immigration case remains unresolved. Pierre’s father has filed a US I-130 “Petition for Alien Relative” to secure permanent residency for his son, and Pierre may also qualify for special juvenile status until his 21st birthday in January 2026. ⁠

Kenya announced a groundbreaking visa-free policy

Kenya announced a groundbreaking visa-free policy for most African nations and select #Caribbean countries, a move hailed as a bold step toward Pan-African unity and South-South cooperation. By eliminating visa requirements, Kenya aims to boost tourism, trade, and cultural exchange, aligning with the African Union’s vision of seamless borders. ⁠
⁠
For many, this policy signals a brighter future for regional integration. However, Haiti's exclusion from visa-free access has sparked disappointment among Haitians, raising questions about fairness and the depth of Kenya’s commitment to its Caribbean partners.⁠
⁠
Kenya’s decision to open its borders to most African nations and Caribbean countries like Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago is a significant milestone. Citizens of East African Community nations can stay for up to six months, while others are permitted 60-day visits without the hassle of visa applications or fees. This policy supports the African Continental Free Trade Area, which seeks to increase intra-African trade by over 100% by 2035. The move is expected to drive economic growth, create jobs, and foster partnerships across the continent and the Caribbean.⁠
⁠
The Haitian diaspora and those invested in South-South solidarity initially hoped this policy would strengthen ties between Kenya and Haiti, especially given Kenya’s leadership in the UN-backed Multinational Security Support Mission in #Haiti since 2024. The mission, aimed at curbing gang violence, has positioned #Kenya as a key partner in Haiti’s stabilization efforts. Yet, unlike most other Caribbean nations, the decision to require #Haitians to apply for an eVisa feels like a missed opportunity to deepen this relationship.⁠
⁠
Kenya’s government has cited “security concerns” for excluding Haiti, #Somalia, and #Libya. Haiti’s challenges stem primarily from gang violence, not state-sponsored threats, and Kenya’s role in supporting Haiti’s security makes the visa requirement seem contradictory. Given the shared history of resilience and cultural ties between African and Caribbean peoples, this feels like a diplomatic oversight for Haitians.⁠

In a powerful segment of @NBC6’s Voices with @Jawannbc6 the episode titled “Living in Limbo: The Impact of TPS Decisions” explores the uncertainty surrounding Temporary Protected Status (#TPS) and its growing impact on South Florida’s Haitian community.
With more than 500,000 #Haitians living in the U.S. under TPS, recent efforts by the #Trump Administration to challenge or end the designation have left many in fear and legal limbo.

Featuring insight from community advocates and immigration professionals, the episode gives viewers a closer look at how shifting federal policies affect everyday lives and what legal and legislative options may still be available to protect this vulnerable population.

#LunionSuiteExclusive 🇭🇹⁠
In our recent interview on the @Alowandaofficial podcast,@Fridayy shared how a single song transformed his life and career. Just a year and a half into his musical journey, the Philadelphia native spent six months holed up in his room, pouring his heart into his craft, driven by the belief that one song could change his life and lift his family out of their struggles.⁠
⁠
Fridayy explains that his breakthrough came when he was inspired by DJ Khaled’s frequent Instagram posts proclaiming “#GodDid.” The phrase resonated deeply, sparking a melody in his mind that would become the iconic hook for the song “God Did.” Khaled was so moved by the track that he included it on his 2022 album and changed the album’s title to “God Did” to reflect its impact.⁠
⁠
What started as a potential interlude evolved into a powerhouse collaboration featuring hip-hop heavyweights #RickRoss, #LilWayne, #JayZ, and #JohnLegend. Fridayy’s soulful vocals anchor the track. The song peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned three Grammy nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance.⁠
⁠
Fridayy’s journey reached a pinnacle when he performed “God Did” at the 2023 Grammy Awards alongside Khaled, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and John Legend. The performance, which closed out the show in a star-studded spectacle, marked Fridayy’s first time performing outside of a church setting, a testament to his rapid rise from a bedroom producer to a global stage.
