Hi fam!
Today is Haitian Independence Day. Today, we celebrate the sacrifice our people made for our freedom on January 1, 1804. Following their victory, HAITI helped many countries claimed their own independence. Countries such as Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, and Colombia amongst others. I am so proud of my heritage and of where my parents come from. Haiti will always hold a special place in my heart and in history - even when others try to minimize or demonize us.
So today, let's enjoy our Soup Joumou and thank our ancestors for our freedom!
L'union fait la force!
Happy Independence Day and Happy New Year!
Xoxo,
