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.

@WebsCorneille Thank you friend. Miss you. Proud of you

Wishing you a wonderful adventure, bro. We miss you in Indy but you being your fight for justice and equality on another bigger stage and I’m glad to witness that. Congrats one more time!

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/

@WebsCorneille Grateful for your friendship!

@ianjdaniel Thank you for this very kind gesture, Ian! We love you in the community.

Celebrating my #Haitian friends & community; talented scholars, musicians, artisans, compassionate community leaders, beautiful souls. Over the past year in my hometown Indiana, we’ve grown together. They are making the area a more vibrant/hopeful place🇭🇹❤️

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-…

“What I am experiencing now, what I think many of us are experiencing, is a kind of distributed mourning,” writes Christina Sharpe. Read her essay, “The Shapes of Grief,” in our fall issue. yalereview.org/article/christ…
