Gommier nights

Under the palms

I ain't got no qualms

Good morning, I am a Haitian citizen who have been living in USA for the past three 3 years. I recently obtained my bachelor degree and want to start my career. I'm considering making an asylum claim at an official port entry (land border), I have a Canadian family member.

My biggest concern is housing. My uncle supposed they'd provide me some kind of temporary housing and then he'd help me find a private room in shared housing.

Personally, I'd rather avoid living with many people that I don't know. Considering these facts:

- I speak Haitian creole (main language), French (8/10), English (7/10).

- I have around 5000 - 6000 USD (7,107.22 CAD - 8,526.84) in savings.

- I'd be willing to take any job to start.

- I don't have any Canadian history, I may not have a cosigner (I can't fully rely on my uncle).

- I'd like to live in Montreal but any place in Quebec would be fine.

How long do you think it'd take to secure a 1 1/2 or 3 1/2 studio (nothing shared) in Quebec?

I know things are slow in Quebec, do you think I should go somewhere else first before coming to Quebec? Or should I head straight to Quebec and see whether it's worth staying?

I am looking for software engineer roles, I don't have to pick a bad location from the beginning.

I want Quebec because I noticed French interviews are easier for me, however I'm wiling to compromise .

I have around 9k USD (federal loans), payment will start in February 2027.

Onè!
Gen yon fenomèn lengwistik ki rele lyezon. Lyezon fèt lè yon son makònwn ant de mo nan pwononsyasyon.
« an Ayiti », se pa « ann Ayiti ».

« An » kapab sèvi nan yon konstriksyon vèbal tou fanmi m.

Egzanp:
An nou lapriyè.
An n lapriyè.

La a, « An n » se fòm kontrakte « An nou ».
Kidonk, nou pa dwe konfonn lyezon ak kontraksyon.

Respè!

Haïti traverse aujourd’hui l’une des crises les plus complexes de son histoire récente. Plus de 5,9 millions de personnes — soit plus de la moitié de la population — sont en situation d’insécurité alimentaire aiguë, 1,4 million d’habitants ont été déplacés en raison de la violence des gangs, et le pays n’a pas organisé d’élections présidentielles depuis près d’une décennie. Ce chaos, loin d’être le fruit de circonstances récentes, est l’aboutissement de plusieurs siècles de structures prédatrices, d’interventions étrangères destructrices et de choix politiques internes désastreux. Pour comprendre la situation actuelle, il faut remonter à la naissance même de la nation. 

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'écris plus longuement sur mon profil.

Beautiful Haitian Queen drinking the elixir of the Caribbean. Anyone know or know of the model pictured?

J'aimerais savoir comment aller à arcahaie depuis l'aéroport cap haitien. J'ai entendu dire qu'il faut prendre un autobus afin de passer le péage des bandits. J'aimerais savoir où je peux prendre l'autobus et où ça me déposera svp.

Qui se rappelle de son enfance en Haïti???

"Why are some Haitian parents so low-vibrational, where you barely hear anything positive from them and everything is negative? It's like some of them don't love themselves, and some of them look so miserable."

kèk foto mwen te pran nan jakmèl, breman, ak basen chwal nan 2023 💙❤️💙❤️

Only issued in 1973; he was only 21-22 years old which is crazy lol; already two years into ruling the country. Surprising how he held onto power for 15 years

I love collecting historic Haitian currency; Haiti is so rich with history

I heard Rete La by Rutshell Guillaume and it has put me in a chokehold.

I have also heard se pa pou dat and various other songs from Lucas Seb etc

I need more songs with that infectious Rete La beat.

What do you guys listen to? What do you play at haitian parties that gets everyone moving?

I love Haiti btw. Y'all are amazing.

Videos are compilations of his trip to Haiti found on his Instagram: thebeardedbackpacker_

U.S. rice exports to Haiti, which account for the bulk of supplies of the country's key food staple, contain unhealthy levels of arsenic and cadmium, heavy metals that can increase risks of cancer and heart disease, according to a recent study by the University of Michigan 

I believe this may be part of the answer to why Haiti is struggling after all these years. On top of the fact the US make import laws that decimated Haitian farmers.

Black countries have to grow their own food, not import it. Because outsiders who want to weaken or destroy them will sabotage them by any means they can

I had a conversation with someone recently and they were told by lawyers that they have transacted several real estate purchases for foreigners recently. Does anyone have personal knowledge of this?

Im a haitian man who took two ancestry test because of amazing deals so I decided to take.. (23&ME and Myancestry) too see how both differs from each other especially with Ancestrys new update!! Shout out my my haitian family I love yall 🇭🇹

Hi I'm 21f. I'm looking for people from Fonds Verrettes, or the whole of Croix-Des-Bouquets. I was adopted in 2007 and I was three years old, but I believe I was in the now Enfant Jeunese Orphanage much before that.

I know my birth parents names but I can't share because of privacy reasons I guess. I will say my father's surname is Jean Paul and my mother's Pierre, which I imagine are the most common and generic haitian surnames lol. But anyway, If these ring a bell to someone please contact me.

I know there was a flood that same year I was born, 2004 in May. My mom was pregnant with me at the time so she must have survived it because I wouldn't be here. Anyway, if you have any info I will be very grateful!!

If anyone is curious, the adoption was kind of sketchy. The adoption agency ( Different from Enfant Jeunesse) doesn't exist anymore and it's kind of creepy. I don't really know if it was all that legal to be honest.

Hi, I’m thinking about traveling to cap haïtien in January as American Airlines is restarting flights and looks like a cool spot to go. Is it safe for a white traveler like myself who speaks very basic French to travel there on my own? Some things I’d want to do is see the city but also leave the city to maybe visit the beach, sans souci palace and Laferrière citadel. Is it positive to get to these spots without a tour? I am a pretty experienced traveler just a little worried about the safety there. Any comments or advice is helpful, really debating taking the couple days of pto to make this trip
