rtainly learn a lot watching Karen go from blogger to a leading marketing director and now a digital pioneer in the entertainment industry. I didn’t know Karen was Haitian-American until a year ago after she posted a picture in Lil-Haiti in Miami, learning this young, intelligent, ambitious and successful young woman was a Haitian sister just made me love and appreciate her drive even more.
This past weekend to commemorate her 30th birthday, digital pioneer Karen Civil celebrated by giving back to Sow
a Seed, a non-profit organization that broke ground this week and began building its second Project PlayWorld in Haiti and the country’s first learning landscape in Croix des Bouquets, sponsored by the Live Civil Fund. The Live Civil Playground will contain ten interactive games offering elementary math concepts built from reused tires in a sandbox structure.
That is why I believe in Project PlayWorld’s efforts to to provide secure playing spaces for the children of Haiti with the Live Civil Playground.”
Along with funding lead by Karen Civil, Project PlayWorld’s mission to positively impact the children of Haiti through recreational activities has gained the financial support of national recording artists Meek Mill & Nipsey Hussle; President of Young Money Records, Mack Maine; Renowned DJ, Funkmaster Flex; Haitian-American professional boxer, Andrea Berto; President of Urban Music at Interscope Records, Joie Manda;
Official DJ of the Cleveland Cavaliers, DJ Steph Floss and partner Jameel Davis.
Haiti is the first country in the world to win a rebellion against the enslavement of African people and declare their independence as a country. After removing France’s rule, the French-Creole country has become the second biggest island in the Caribbean. Despite, the courageous spirits of the enslaved people of 1804, Haiti has become the most impoverished and underdeveloped country in the Western Hemisphere. 80% percent of Haiti’s population lives below the poverty line. While Haiti tries to build itself up from its long history of destitution and the devastation of 2010’s earthquake, Karen Civil and Live Civil support Sow a Seed’s initiatives to help Haitian children thrive physically and cognitively through Project PlayWorld.

@KarenCivil: Coming from a Haiti
an-American home, I thought it was necessary to give back to the country in which my parents were born and raised for my birthday. With the help of @sowaseed, today we break ground on the #LiveCivilplayground in Prodev-operated school Ecole Nouvelle Zoranje in Village de la Renaissance in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
where you ultimately find the potential to get to your highest point in life. Essentially, 2014, has taught me this life lesson. Nervous and uncertain, yet determined to fully live my divine purpose, I took a step out on faith and resigned from my position at Beats by Dre. At that very moment, every choice I’ve ever made in life, would prepare me for this very moment. I have never been so at peace and in love with my life. I thank my heavily father, my family & friends who continue to believe and support me through every choice and for seeing the vision that God has instilled in me. #LiveCivilPlayground
