Haitian minorities in Ohio are experiencing an alarming rise in threats and harassment. This escalation, fueled by far-right rhetoric and seen here on X, demands urgent attention. Both the Haitian community and political leaders must come together to address this growing hostility and ensure the safety of Haitians everywhere. Stronger advocacy and swift action are crucial to protect Haitian lives, not only in Ohio but across the world.

Xenophobia and racism in America often seem to run in cycles. One year, the focus is on Mexican communities, the next, it’s Asians, then Black Americans, and soon after, Haitians. The targets may change, but the pattern remains the same—marginalized groups are scapegoated and attacked, cycling through the same harmful rhetoric. This cycle of hate fuels division and distracts from the real issues. Until we address the root causes of these prejudices, the cycle will keep repeating, hurting communities over and over again.

At this point, I'm convinced of two, hard truths:
One- No matter where we come from, Black people would all be hung from the same tree in the eyes of those who oppress us. The divisions we create among ourselves only serve to strengthen the hands that bind us.
And two - Haiti will never stop paying for its revolution—the audacity of freedom comes with a price, and they've been making sure Haiti keeps paying it ever since. That revolution wasn’t just a victory for Haitians, it was a threat to every system that profits off our suffering.

Port-au-Prince is collapsing. Families are being slaughtered, women violated, children fleeing with nowhere to go. Over a million people have been forced from their homes. And if that doesn’t break you…just because it’s not your family…then hope isn’t fading. It’s already gone.

Remember- if Haiti falls, it won’t be because we lacked strength, but because too many who claim to love her only showed up for the aesthetics. The flag in your bio. The beach trip in December. The carnival flicks. But when it’s time to stand, to fight, to build..silence. Haiti isn’t a vibe. It’s a responsibility. There is no backup plan. Haiti is the last line..the frontline and the fire.

As a Haitian Canadian in Haiti 🇭🇹 Flag Day hits different. I feel the land, the spirit, the weight of what our ancestors built. This isn’t just pride..it’s purpose. We’re not just honoring the flag ..we’re living the future they fought for. Nou la. Nou kanpe. Nou pap lage.
Thank you @safetripshaiti for the opportunity to experience this week here in the north of Haiti ( check them out for any travel needs)

If you truly care about understanding the situation in Haiti rather than jumping to unfair, biased conclusions, I encourage you to educate yourself. Here are some great books to read to grasp why Haitians are coming to 'your country' and how the United States has played a significant role in the disabling of Haiti as a nation

The blatant lack of education in the USA is impossible to ignore. You can't even take their insults personally, because they stem from ignorance, false narratives, and deeply rooted white supremacy. They cling to any ideology or misinformation about minorities in a country that isn't even theirs. When they try to insult you, it's a reflection of their own flawed understanding.

He’s deleted all his other socials.. so .. how about letting his work know who they have working for them? .. if he wants to post something publicly and put his workplace that’s on him …and If he is so proud of this costume he shouldn’t be so scared. 🤷🏽♀️

Being in Haiti, I can tell you firsthand these situations are not being portrayed the way they should be. Haiti’s story is always twisted by foreign interests, with U.S. journalists and missionaries exploiting our struggles for profit, even aligning with gang leaders like Barbecue. Recently, American journalists were seen praying over this terrorist responsible for the on going devastation in Solino and many other areas. This alliance shows the harsh truth: they benefit only if Haiti stays broken. It’s time for us to make some noise!! And continue to hold the Haitian “government” accountable for these situations they continue to allow, We must reclaim our own narrative, and cut ties with those who profit from our suffering!!
Enough is enough!!

What’s truly disturbing is how, when a person of color or someone from a different nationality commits a crime in America, their entire race or culture is demonized and hunted down. But when white Americans repeatedly carry out mass shootings in schools, the response is muted, almost indifferent. This double standard is glaring—it exposes the deeply ingrained bias in how violence is judged, depending on race, religion, or nationality. It’s infuriating, unjust, and needs to change.

Americans often claim immigrants are 'stealing their jobs,' but the harsh truth is many don't want to work. When they do, they're often unreliable, untrainable, and lack the strong work ethic that legal immigrants bring to the table.

At the end of this all, we Haitians are just living, surviving, and doing what we gotta do, but in the eyes of some, we will always be the easiest to demonize. From the U.S. occupation in 1915, when they painted us as backwards and primitive, to the ‘70s and ‘80s, when Haitian refugees were dismissed as “boat people” and blamed during the AIDS crisis, the narrative has been painfully predictable.
In the ‘90s, under Bush and Clinton, our boats were intercepted, and people were sent back like they were disposable. After the earthquake in 2010, when we needed genuine compassion, all we got were slurs and derision. And let’s not forget 2018, when Trump’s vile comments about Haiti sparked fresh outrage. Throughout these times, Haiti has been unfairly associated with absurd stereotypes by a Western media that thrives on sensationalism.
But here’s the truth: We know where we come from, and we know who we are. Despite this endless cycle of demonization, we don’t need to keep proving our worth. The worth of our people is inherent, regardless of the attempts to belittle us. Haitians have been trying to survive amidst chaos and challenge, while facing xenophobia, racism, and scapegoating from those who thrive on fear and political gain. It’s a tired tactic used to divert from real issues of immigration and human rights.
Yes, Haiti has its struggles, and there’s work to be done. But mark my words: the day will come when we rise again. We’ve been knocked down, but we keep getting up. Always have, always will. Deep down, we know our worth, and that’s something no amount of demonizing can ever take away.

While we're at it, let’s not forget the real issue here. While some in the U.S. try to smear Haitians with false accusations, we shouldn’t ignore the harm that U.S. citizens have actually caused in Haiti. That’s just a small glimpse of the bigger picture.

China was not playing. They basically said, ‘Y’all wanna slap tariffs? Cool…I’m gonna start saying what actually is going on, starting with Haiti.’ Called the US the mastermind, the security boss, and the one who lit the match then dipped. No lies were told. 🫢

Today marks the anniversary of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti…a disaster that killed over 200,000 people and left millions displaced. But while the earthquake brought unimaginable suffering, the real aftershock came in the form of so-called "help."
Billions of dollars poured into Haiti, but where did it go? Organizations like the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, and countless NGOs raised astronomical sums in the name of “rebuilding,” yet a decade later, most of that money has vanished into thin air. The Salvation Army, for example, collected millions but left little to show for it in Haiti’s infrastructure. The Red Cross, despite raising nearly $500 million, managed to build only six permanent homes. Six. Meanwhile, Haitians were left to fend for themselves in makeshift tents as the promises of these organizations crumbled like the buildings they claimed to repair.
And let’s not forget the flood of Bible-carrying missionaries and Masonic charities who swooped in to "save" Haiti but instead treated it like a charity petri dish. They capitalized on the tragedy, pushing their agendas while depleting the land further, all under the cloak of benevolence.
This earthquake wasn’t just a natural disaster..it was the start of Haiti being turned into a global feeding ground for exploitation disguised as aid. We mourn today not just for the lives lost but for the systemic robbery of a nation’s dignity and potential. It’s time to hold everyone accountable…Haitians included..and end this cycle of dependency and deception. Haiti deserves better.

Fèt Gede 💜 Haiti’s day of the dead.
This is a vibrant celebration of life and death, honoring the spirits of our ancestors and embodying the face of hardship. Every November 1st & 2d, cemeteries and Vodou temples come alive with drumming, dancing, and fiery offerings, as participants dressed in purple, white and black channel the spirit of Baron Samedi, the gatekeeper of the dead. More than a remembrance, Fèt Gede affirms the Haitian belief that the living and the dead are forever connected turning loss into laughter and grief into a fearless expression of heritage, community, and strength.

Haitian Black Castor Oil, or know in Haiti as Lwil maskriti 🌿✨🇭🇹
Offers a wide range of benefits that make it a versatile and powerful tool in both beauty and wellness. Its most celebrated use is for hair care. The oil’s thick, nutrient-rich formula helps to nourish and strengthen the hair, making it an ideal remedy for anyone suffering from dryness, breakage, or thinning. Applied to the scalp, it stimulates blood circulation, promoting stronger and faster hair growth while addressing common issues like dandruff and itchiness. Over time, it has become the go-to solution for those looking to thicken their hair or repair damaged strands.
Beyond hair, lwil maskriti is also deeply beneficial for the skin. Its moisturizing properties make it a great choice for treating dry or damaged skin, especially conditions like eczema and psoriasis. By locking in moisture and calming irritation, the oil helps to restore a smooth, healthy complexion. It is also known for its ability to heal minor wounds, cuts, and infections, thanks to its antifungal and antibacterial properties. The oil creates a protective barrier over the skin, speeding up the healing process and preventing further infection. For those looking to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, or acne, Haitian Black Castor Oil works wonders by promoting cellular regeneration and skin repair.
In traditional Haitian medicine, lwil maskriti is valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, especially when it comes to relieving joint and muscle pain. Applied topically, it can help reduce swelling and discomfort from conditions like arthritis, sprains, or muscle strains. Its ability to improve circulation makes it a favorite remedy for recovery after physical exertion or injury. Many also use the oil for its detoxifying effects, believing that it aids in flushing out toxins and improving the immune system. This cleansing property extends to its use as a natural laxative, though it should be taken with caution due to its potency.
Haitian Black Castor Oil also finds its place in beauty routines beyond the scalp. Many use it to thicken and lengthen eyebrows and eyelashes, applying small amounts to help condition and strengthen the delicate hair follicles. It is also a popular treatment for strengthening brittle nails and nourishing dry cuticles, leaving hands and feet looking and feeling healthier.
What sets lwil maskriti apart is not just its physical benefits, but the deep cultural significance it carries. In Haiti, it is more than just a cosmetic product or home remedy; it is a symbol of healing. Often used in spiritual rituals and ceremonies, the oil embodies protection, cleansing, and renewal. Its continued use in both everyday life and sacred practices reflects the wisdom and resourcefulness of Haitian traditions, preserving the natural heritage of the island.
Whether used for hair, skin, pain relief, or spiritual healing, lwil maskriti remains one of Haiti’s most treasured natural remedies, revered for its potency and versatility across generations.

I really hope the Haitian government sees that the people returning are the key to rebuilding the country. These are skilled workers who have been building apartments, resorts, and infrastructure elsewhere. Now, they’re coming back, and this is an opportunity to put that expertise to work in Haiti. The government cannot afford to waste time. Give these people the land, the materials, and the support to build homes, schools, and communities.
Other countries have done this successfully. Rwanda, after the genocide, built entire villages for returning citizens, offering not just housing but schools and healthcare, giving people the tools to rebuild their lives. Colombia did the same, creating housing programs to reintegrate displaced people while boosting the local economy. If they can do it, so can Haiti.
Yes, security is a serious issue, but that’s where the Haitian government and the multinational force need to step in and get serious. They need to secure these areas so people can start building and thriving. The time to act is now, and I hope they don’t miss this chance to turn things around for the country.

Just saw a TikTok of a white American man..not Haitian, no Haitian roots..who has a farm and a whole meat processing plant in Haiti. Doing exactly the kind of work I’ve been talking about. And he’s clearly doing well.
Meanwhile, our own people are scared to touch these opportunities because of “security.” I’m not saying it’s perfect, but if he can come here and build, why can’t we? We need to stop waiting and start building these businesses ourselves. Because guess what ..people will come in and do it if we don’t. They already are.

Haiti is complex, I know that. But this koze culture? It’s not my favorite. A restaurant menu gets more attention than the real work I’m doing with the land. I’m out here pushing for agricultural practices, trying to help shift something, and that barely gets acknowledged. We already have enough DJs, singers, and artists living comfortably in Miami. They fly in, get paid, and leave. But where’s the support for the people who are still here? Still trying. Still building. Where’s the love for the farmers, the mechanics, the engineers …the people actually holding this country up? We can’t keep saying we want change, then overlook the ones working for it.

I don't need to listen. If you feel that way, it's because of your own country's actions. Blame your politics—those are the forces that keep meddling with other nations, making them unlivable. Trust me, if Haiti hadn’t been so destabilized by the U.S., people wouldn’t be in this situation.
