Donovan Joshua Leigh Metayer, a survivor of the de Donovan Joshua Leigh Metayer, a survivor of the devastating 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, has died by suicide at the age of 26. His family announced that he passed away on December 15, following a 7-year battle with schizophrenia triggered by the trauma of the Valentine's Day massacre.
Metayer was a senior at the high school on February 14, 2018, when a gunman killed 17 people and injured 17 others. Described by his family as a "radiant child" who was brilliant and academically gifted, with a magnetic humor and warmth that could light up any room, affectionately known as "Donny," he saw his life profoundly altered by the event. The trauma led to withdrawal, depression, guilt, emotional instability, & isolation in the months that followed.
His dreams of attending college and pursuing a career in computer science faded as his mental health deteriorated. Over the years, he faced multiple hospitalizations for suicidal ideation and struggled to accept his diagnosis. In 2021, a severe episode resulted in him being placed under Florida's Baker Act, temporarily barring him from purchasing firearms through a Risk Protection Order.
Donovan found support through treatment at the Henderson Behavioral Health Clinic & with a private psychiatrist. He earned an IT certificate and began working at Office Depot in Coral Springs, where he was quickly promoted and began building independence. However, when his Risk Protection Order lapsed earlier in December, he purchased a handgun from a local shop. A week later, he used it to take his own life in the family home.
In statements shared, Donovan's family expressed profound grief, posting on Facebook and GoFundMe, thanking the community for their overwhelming support. The family added, "The loss of our family's youngest child is a sorrow beyond words. We are choosing to speak Donovan's truth, so that other families do not have to suffer in silence the way we have."
A GoFundMe aims to cover funeral expenses & establish a mental health fund in Donovan's name & support the Henderson Clinic to provide healthcare & housing for people of all ages with behavioral health conditions.

Haitian music legend @AlanCavé, the iconic "King o Haitian music legend @AlanCavé, the iconic "King of Konpa Love," has just delivered an early holiday gift to fans worldwide. The acclaimed artist released two brand-new singles that are already generating massive buzz across streaming platforms and social media.⁠
⁠
The first track, "Pimpe’m" featuring Vilx, is a seductive, soulful konpa groove. The song blends heartfelt lyrics with infectious rhythms, showcasing Cavé's signature smooth vocals and romantic style. The official music video dropped alongside the release, giving fans a visual treat to match the track's emotional depth.⁠
⁠
Hot on its heels comes "Bam Tou Pam," the second single, which continues the legacy of passionate, danceable konpa that has defined Cavé's solo career since his groundbreaking 2001 debut album, Se Pa Pou Dat. Both tracks are now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. You can also find the videos in the link to @Alancave's bio. ⁠
⁠
These releases mark a powerful return to form for the veteran artist, who has spent decades bridging generations with his timeless blend of konpa and zouk influences and heartfelt storytelling. Following his historic performance at Madison Square Garden in 2024, the first by a Haitian artist singing traditional Haitian music, Cavé shows no signs of slowing down! 🇭🇹🎶⁠

In a decision announced on December 8, Florida Gov In a decision announced on December 8, Florida Governor #RonDeSantis appointed #PascaleAchille to serve as a judge on the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit, covering #BrowardCounty. This appointment fills the vacancy left by the August 15 resignation of Judge Gary M. Farmer Jr.
Judge Achille brings an impressive and well-rounded legal background to the bench. For the past 12 years, she served as an Assistant State Attorney in the Broward County State Attorney’s Office, including her assignment to the demanding Homicide Trial Unit since 2018. Prior to that, she worked in specialized units handling sexual battery cases and career criminal prosecutions, roles that require deep legal knowledge, precision, and a strong sense of ethical responsibility.
Before joining the prosecution team, Achille spent eight years as a civil attorney, managing cases under both federal and Florida state law. During this period, she drafted appellate briefs and argued before the Second and Fifth District Courts of Appeal, gaining valuable expertise in procedure, legal analysis, and courtroom advocacy. This diverse experience spanning prosecution, civil litigation, trial work, and appeals gives the new judge a comprehensive and balanced perspective on the justice system.
A graduate of Florida State University and Nova Southeastern University College of Law, Judge Achille is a longtime resident of Broward County. In her statement following the appointment, she expressed gratitude: “I am truly grateful to the Governor’s Office and the Judicial Nominating Commission for the privilege of serving the people as a circuit court judge. It has been an honor to serve Broward County as an Assistant State Attorney in the Homicide Trial Unit.”
This appointment also carries important symbolic weight for the Haitian-American community in South Florida, which has a significant presence in Broward County. Judge Achille's appointment reinforces the growing integration and success of Haitian-Americans in Florida's judicial institutions, while emphasizing that justice is best served by those with the strongest qualifications, regardless of background or ideology.

Clyde Lourdez’s “The Coronation: A Royal Fashion A Clyde Lourdez’s “The Coronation: A Royal Fashion Affair” Marks a Historic Celebration of Haitian Excellence in Pompano Beach
On December 12, 2025, Pompano Beach, Florida, witnessed a powerful and unforgettable moment as Clyde Lourdez, the rising Haitian-owned brand founded in 2019 by South Florida visionary Jacquez “Quez” Joseph, made its highly anticipated runway debut with The Coronation: A Royal Fashion Affair.
This was far more than a fashion show it was a moving cultural ceremony and a proud celebration of Haitian heritage and excellence. The evening unfolded as a dramatic four-act journey Awakening, Preparation, Ascension, and Coronation featuring 22 hand-crafted “Comforture” pieces. These designs masterfully combine couture-level craftsmanship with everyday comfort, inviting every wearer to step into their own power and embrace royalty as an inner feeling accessible to all, no matter their background.
The runway presentation was brought to life with captivating live performances, creating an immersive experience that honored Caribbean roots and Haitian pride.
South Florida’s influencers, tastemakers, and community supporters filled the venue, coming together to witness this groundbreaking vision.
Proudly supported by @SaintSauveur1972, the event represented a major milestone for Clyde Lourdez. Adding to the significance of the date, Melky Jean, the founder of Saint Sauveur 1972, received two proclamations from the cities of Pompano Beach and North Miami Beach, declaring December 12, 2025, as “Saint Sauveur 1972 Haitian Heritage Rum Day” in recognition of the brand’s cultural importance and the historic 1972 arrival of Haitian refugees that inspired it.
For those who couldn’t attend, this is only the beginning. Stay connected with @clydelourdez_ for updates on future collections and experiences.

As 2025 draws to a close, Haitian music stars Bedj As 2025 draws to a close, Haitian music stars Bedjine (@bedjineofficiel) and K-Dilak (@kdilakmesajea) continue to shine brightly on the international scene, with a string of standout victories at prominent African award shows. Their achievements celebrate the power of Konpa and the seamless blend of #Haitian heritage with global contemporary rhythms.⁠
⁠
The duo's success story accelerated at the Music Video Africa Awards (MVAA) held in Lagos, Nigeria, in October. Bedjine claimed Female Artist of the Year and Inspirational Woman of the Year, while K-Dilak secured Male Artist of the Year and Performing Artist of the Year, a collective four honors that spotlighted their dynamic energy and individual talents.⁠
⁠
Their impact reached new heights at the Zikomo Africa Awards 2025, held on December 17 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. K-Dilak earned Best Zikomo Songwriter of the Year for his masterful songwriting, and Bedjine received dual crowns: Best Zikomo Afro-Caribbean Artist of the Year 2025 and Best Zikomo Vocal Artist of the Year.⁠
⁠
Their partnership, which kicked off in 2019 with the release of “Fo Pwomès,” has grown through beloved tracks like “Pouki n Te Marye” (2020) and “Engra” (2021). The milestone continued with their debut 16-track album Misyon Akonpli, dropping in October 2024, a deeply rooted project that fuses cultural traditions with innovative production.⁠
⁠
Despite some early-year obstacles that limited live appearances, Bedjine and K-Dilak's artistry and fanbase kept the fire burning. These recognitions mark a defining chapter, as Haitian sounds increasingly resonate across Africa and the world, bridging cultures through rhythm, voice, and unbreakable collaboration. 🇭🇹🎤⁠

A federal jury in Ft Lauderdale convicted #Stephan A federal jury in Ft Lauderdale convicted #StephanieDorisca, the former director of nursing at Techni-Pro Institute in Boca Raton, on serious fraud charges related to one of the largest fake nursing credential scandals in U.S. history.
Dorisca, 57, originally from #Haiti, where she began her career as a dental hygienist before immigrating to the U.S. She was found guilty on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud & 5 counts of wire fraud following a 3-day trial that concluded in December. The verdict came after jurors deliberated for less than three hours.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and court documents, Dorisca conspired with the school's owner & recruiters, primarily from Texas, to sell fraudulent nursing diplomas & transcripts. These false credentials falsely certified that buyers had completed required coursework & mandatory hands-on clinical training, which never occurred.
The scheme involved 954 fake nursing degrees sold at approximately $16,500 each between 2021 & 2022, generating millions of dollars in illicit profits. Prosecutors stated that Dorisca personally received roughly $1.5 million from the fraud. The fraudulent documents enabled purchasers to sit for the national nursing licensure exam (NCLEX), obtain licenses, & secure employment as nurses at healthcare facilities nationwide, posing significant risks to public health and patient safety.
This case falls under #OperationNightingale, a multi-phase federal investigation targeting "diploma mills" in South Florida. Dorisca was charged in September & initially planned to plead guilty to a single conspiracy charge, but withdrew the agreement & opted for trial. Two Texas-based recruiters testified against her, one had pleaded guilty, & the other was expected to do so.
The school's owner, Gilbert Hyppolite, 73, remains awaiting his own trial scheduled for March 2026. Dorisca now faces up to 20 years in federal prison per count. Her sentencing is set for March 5, 2026. The Operation Nightingale has charged more than 40 individuals, with sales of phony diplomas exceeding $220 million & affecting around 15,000 fraudulent credentials. #lunionsuite
