The rich want you to be uninformed, they want to control the narrative, write their own history, and control the world. Musk controls Twitter, Bezo’s the Post, Zuckerberg all of Meta, and they want tik tok too. Control the minds, the story, control you while they get richer.

Working with #Haitian students and my local community in #Indiana to share and learn new languages has been one of the most enriching experiences yet in my life. We’ve enveloped each other in love, laughter, and care. Forever changed and grateful.

Thank you @WebsCorneille @IUCLACS for speaking with our class. You inspired healing, optimism, and a sense of community as we come together to learn new languages, support each other, and challenge the racist stereotypes affecting #Haitian people in Indiana and across the US.
Grateful for Tuesday talk at YMCA of Washington, Indiana, w/ fellow Haitians of the adult English language learners program for immigrants. We join forces to overcome any stereotypical biases against Haitians in the U.S. Thanks to my friend @ianjdaniel for bringing me there. 1/

I spent time in Springfield OH reporting on Haitian migration. Some of the nasty misinfo being echoed today was already circulating. I spoke to officer Jason Via, Deputy Director Public Safety: "We haven't really seen any of that. It's really frustrating" npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-s1-505…
