#LetsTalkAboutIt 🇭🇹 ⁠
Recent events continue to highlight the deep-rooted anti-Haitian sentiment in the #DominicanRepublic, raising concerns about racism and xenophobia in the country. While some #Dominican nationalists deny or downplay the issue, incidents like this serve as a reminder that discrimination against #Haitians persists in 2025. ⁠
⁠
This latest example, captured by @mangointhenorth, is just one of many instances showcasing ongoing discrimination, racial profiling, and mistreatment of Haitians and Black Dominicans. From mass deportations to inflammatory rhetoric and systemic exclusion, the hostility remains, making it clear that the fight against anti-Haitianism is far from over. ⁠

The #Trump administration is preparing to implemen

The #Trump administration is preparing to implement a comprehensive travel ban imposing varying restrictions on citizens from 43 countries, including #Haiti. This proposal represents a significant expansion of previous travel bans and reflects the administration's ongoing focus on national security and immigration control. ⁠
⁠
The proposed travel ban categorizes the affected countries into three distinct groups, each subject to different levels of restrictions: ⁠
⁠
1. Complete #Visa Suspensions ("Red" List): Citizens from 11 countries would face total bans on entering the United States. This includes Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria. ⁠
⁠
2. Partial Visa Suspensions ("Orange" List): Ten countries, including Haiti, would experience significant limitations on visa issuance. These restrictions would impact tourist, student, and other immigrant visas, with some exceptions potentially made for business travelers.⁠
⁠
3. Conditional Restrictions ("Yellow" List): An additional 22 countries would be given a 60-day period to address specific security deficiencies. Failure to comply could result in partial visa suspensions.⁠
⁠
Haiti's inclusion in the "orange" list means that #Haitian citizens seeking to enter the #UnitedStates could face stringent visa restrictions. These measures would particularly impact those applying for tourist and student visas, potentially disrupting travel plans, educational pursuits, and family reunifications. The policy could also affect the Haitian diaspora in the U.S., raising concerns about family separation and broader implications for #HaitianAmerican communities. ⁠
⁠
This proposed travel ban is part of President Trump's broader immigration policy agenda, which has previously included measures such as the 2017 travel ban targeting predominantly Muslim-majority countries.⁠
⁠
The current proposal has already sparked controversy. Critics argue that such broad restrictions could strain diplomatic relations and harm individuals seeking refuge or better opportunities in the United States. ⁠

We are thrilled to partner with @Miamifilm as it returns this spring from April 3–13 across the vibrant city of #Miami! One of the most compelling films you won’t want to miss is “Know Me—The Untold Miami Bath Salts Phenomenon,” which dives deep into the true story behind the infamous “Miami Zombie” attack that shocked the world in 2012.
This gripping drama takes you inside the devastating and sensationalized media frenzy that followed the brutal attack on the #MacArthurCauseway. In May 2012, #JimmyMoïse attacked a homeless man, biting parts of his face, before being shot and killed by police. As the media exploded with wild headlines about a “zombie” on bath salts, the story quickly became a national sensation. But the truth behind this tragedy was far more complex.
Know Me takes viewers on an emotional journey through the eyes of Jimmy’s youngest brother, #KensonJoseph, who is suddenly thrust into the spotlight after his brother’s violent death. While the world sensationalizes Jimmy’s actions, Kenson struggles with his grief, wrestling to preserve his brother’s legacy and clear his name. Through the lens of Kenson’s heartbreak, this powerful film explores the damaging effects of media manipulation and the power of truth in the face of tragedy.
Based on the real-life story of the late Rudy Eugene and his brother Markenson Charles, Know Me gives voice to the family directly impacted by the scandal. Co-written by Markenson Charles, this film represents an incredibly personal project that shares the untold side of this story, showing the human side of the headlines. The film’s development has been deeply rooted in the Charles/Eugene family’s participation, making it a heartfelt and raw portrayal of loss, injustice, and the fight for redemption.
Edson Jean’s portrayal of Kenson Joseph is #HaitianAmerican, a key part of the film’s representation of the Haitian American community in Miami. The film offers an intimate and powerful look at how his Haitian roots shaped his perspective and response to the tragedy. Know Me promises to captivate and move audiences as it tackles sensitive issues of media influence & the complexities of grief. #lunionsuite #AD #miamiFF

#LunionSuiteExcellence 🎬️🇭🇹 ⁠ Arielle

#LunionSuiteExcellence 🎬️🇭🇹 ⁠
Arielle Prepetit, a first-generation #HaitianAmerican actress, dancer, and singer, is making significant strides in the entertainment industry with her role in the #CBS daytime drama series #BeyondTheGates. Born and raised in #Orlando, Florida, Prepetit discovered her passion for dance at the tender age of five, which later blossomed into singing and acting. ⁠
⁠
Beyond the Gates is a groundbreaking series that marks a new era for daytime television. CBS’s first new soap opera in decades, it features a predominantly Black cast and highlights rich and complex storytelling that reflects underrepresented communities. ⁠
⁠
In Beyond The Gates, Prepetit portrays Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne, the eldest daughter of Dani Dupree and Bill Hamilton. Her character, a high-powered attorney based in #WashingtonDC, uniquely inherits her grandmother Anita Dupree's singing talent, adding depth to the show's narrative. ⁠
⁠
Prepetit's journey into acting began in Orlando, where she participated in local commercials, films, and theater productions. Recognizing the need to immerse herself fully in her craft, she relocated to Atlanta in 2021 to pursue acting full-time. This move proved fruitful, leading to roles in notable television series such as STARZ's #BMF and NBC's Found. ⁠
⁠
Her film repertoire is equally impressive, featuring performances alongside industry veterans. In About My Father, she shared the screen with #RobertDeNiro and #KimCattrall, while The System saw her acting opposite #TyreseGibson and #TerrenceHoward. Additionally, she starred in Bull Street, working alongside #LorettaDevine and #AmyMadigan. ⁠
⁠
Her casting in Beyond The Gates holds personal significance. Reflecting on her Instagram, Prepetit shared, "Every day after school, I would watch soap operas with my Grandma. She loved them, and I grew to love them too because of her." She regards this role as a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother, stating, "This job feels like a special gift from my Grandma in heaven, and I know she would be watching." ⁠

Authorities in the #DominicanRepublic have interce

Authorities in the #DominicanRepublic have intercepted a significant shipment of firearms and ammunition that was en route from the United States to #Haiti. The seizure, which took place on Tuesday, included dozens of handguns, rifles, pistol magazines, and a submachine gun, along with more than 36,000 cartridges. ⁠
⁠
The #Dominican customs office reported that the weapons were part of a shipment originating from #Miami and destined for #Haiti. Officials are conducting a thorough investigation in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to uncover the origins and intended recipients of the cache. ⁠
⁠
This development comes amid a surge in gang violence in Haiti, where armed groups have launched attacks on communities in Port-au-Prince, terrorizing residents and leaving an unknown number of casualties. The International Organization for Migration estimates that over 25,000 people have been displaced in just the past two weeks due to the escalating crisis. According to the United Nations, more than 5,600 people have been killed by gang-related violence across Haiti in 2024 alone. ⁠
⁠
The ongoing instability in Haiti has worsened since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, contributing to the displacement of over one million Haitians. The seizure of weapons in the Dominican Republic highlights growing concerns about arms trafficking to Haiti, where heavily armed gangs continue to outmatch local law enforcement and destabilize the country further. ⁠

#LunionSuiteExcellence 👑 🇭🇹 ⁠ #HaitianA

#LunionSuiteExcellence 👑 🇭🇹 ⁠
#HaitianAmerican Edwina Petionet has been crowned Miss #MiamiGardens 2025, securing a $1,000 scholarship and the opportunity to compete at the Miss Florida Scholarship Competition in #Lakeland this summer. She is only the second young woman of #Haitian descent to hold the prestigious title, marking a significant milestone in the pageant’s history. ⁠
⁠
The Miss Miami Gardens program is a local preliminary to the Miss Florida and Miss America programs, collectively serving as one of the largest scholarship providers for young women. Beyond competition, participants are encouraged to develop leadership skills and advocate for meaningful causes through a Community Service Initiative (CSI). ⁠
⁠
Edwina’s initiative, Compassion in Action: Volunteering to Bring Joy and Advocating for Better Care in Our State’s Nursing Homes*, stems from her deep-rooted passion for elderly care. Growing up with her grandmothers in a lively, supportive home, she witnessed firsthand the stark contrast between their experience and that of seniors in assisted living facilities, where loneliness is often a significant issue. ⁠
⁠
“Loneliness and social isolation have a profound impact on seniors’ emotional well-being,” Edwina shared. “A simple visit, a shared story, or a sing-along can transform their day.” ⁠
⁠
To amplify her impact, Edwina plans to collaborate with local nursing homes, community organizations, and state agencies to create volunteer-driven engagement programs. Her goal is to establish events such as Volunteer Days and Story Time with Seniors, which will encourage community members especially young people to foster meaningful intergenerational relationships. ⁠”It’s not just about donating time; it’s about making people feel seen, valued, and loved,” she said.
