How do you make money in Haiti? What do you do for work? Did you have it set up before you moved? How would you recommend people make their money in a way that doesn't take an opportunity from a Haitian, but rather adds to the development of the community/nation?
Are there certain things to do to ensure your safety with all of the unrest that takes place? What do you do for work in Haiti if you don’t mind sharing? Have you partnered with any U.S. based organizations like USAID or the embassy with your development background? What was your Creole proficiency when you first moved vs now? Thank you cause I know that’s not even half the questions I have 😂
wow that's great... your father did a great job telling you stories about Haiti... many Haitian parents make the mistake of not teaching their children to speak Creole etc... I wish you a lot of success in your work your videos give us strength and remind us that our duty is to save Haiti not to abandon it Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Wow!!! You left me speechless. This is what haiti doesn’t have: more people like you who really truly love their country. Many say they do but their actions say something else. You on the other hand sister, you are amazing. The fact that you turned your career around to focus on your country is beyond recognition. You deserve a crown. My body is in the states but my mind and my heart are in Haiti, I need your inspiration. Keep up the great work 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯
I loooooove this. You have the right mindset. This is how the country will grow. I'm not from Haiti but I understand your thinking. Everybody wants to run straight to the slavemaster's country and continue to help build their country. So what was the point of abolishing slavery if you are still gonna go work for the man? Proud of you!
This is dope, you're stunning! So glad I found your page today. I haven't been back to Haiti in 6 years and it pains me! Your content is very much needed. I'd like to see a video detailing an itinerary for someone visiting Haiti in its current climate.
Just found that I’m part Haitian Creole… my grand father was from Haiti but unfortunately this information wasn’t given until he’s gone so much of the culture wasn’t passed down and entire family just walking around saying they’re just black… learning this about my bloodline made me find understanding of myself tho all of my interest talents and religious/spiritual views resonates that of the Haitian Culture and made me no longer feel weird or random lol I thank my ancestors for leading me to the truth of who I am… I look forward to learning more and restarting the passing of culture and history to my children to pass to theirs and most of all feeling that “I’m home” feeling you spoke of… I’ve recently moved from Missouri to Florida and I feel like I’m getting closer to that feeling the more I closer to the water… and it all makes sense…. I also have Italian and Irish blood from my moms side still have to learn of her fathers side as she wasn’t raised with him but as I said before I resonate more so with my Haitian roots… I’m just proud of all of who I am and thanks again for sharing 💙🌴🇭🇹
🇭🇹So happy that you found out about your Haitian roots!! Thanks for sharing your story! There’s so much to explore when it comes to Haitian culture. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey❤️
@NonikkaWalker You may need to watch some videos of the youtuber named " chronicles of a Zoe". She speaks a lot about our cultures in her vids. I was born there and left Haiti after I turned 18, so I have quite a lot of childhood/teenager memories. I wish I could help some day...
You already have just by sharing love and I’ll check them out too thank you and many blessings to you on your journey look forward to watching you future posts 💙🫶🏽🇭🇹
They are just black 😂 “Haitian” isn’t a race just like American isn’t. It’s like saying I’m part English or British every black man and woman is Black regardless of what culture they have,language they speak or land they grew up. If you go to Ireland or Italy they won’t respect you as their white kind or give you free citizenship.
born & raised in new york. i’ve been wanting to go to Haiti but my mom is too scared 😅 thank you so much for sharing your experience. i can’t wait to live out there, my mind & soul isn’t happy in america
I'm a first generation Haitian American. I'm a first year college student at FSU studying mechanical engineering because I want to work on high speed rail. Real talk, sometimes at night in my bed I think about how Haiti has so much potential. All my friends who were born and raised on the island are the smartest people I know when it comes to mathematics and sciences. Hopefully one day I get to contribute to the country!
9:16 THAT RIGHT THERE!!!!! Don't tell them show them with this beautiful VLOG, I am 1st generation Haitian- American born in Harlem NY and ever since I was young age 3 I've visited and have always loved Haiti. My parents have always shown me the beauty of Haiti many people (HAITIANS) are always amazed and can't belive why I love 🇭🇹 so much. I'm super happy for you and this channel and I wish you much success. If we can live in "Khiladelphia", New York and other great American cities (No shade but we just need to do better as human beings with loving one another) it's not because of Haiti that danger will find you, danger is everywhere. You go girl, and be great God bless.
This is so encouraging. My dad is Haitian and I lived in Haiti for 3 years when I was younger. I have not been back to Haiti since 2002 but there is something I want to do in Haiti that may require me to live there but I am fearful. Your story is so courageous and beautiful. I can’t wait to see your story😍💙
I live in Haiti. I was shock to hear a young person decided to come to Haiti. I am so proud of you and so happy listening to a young woman talking nicely about the country I love so much. Thank you very much for making believe that there are Haitian still care for the country. May God bless and protect you. 🙏😘🌺🌸🌹💐♥️
Beside the ones that are stealing or serving other countries ; every single Haitian love their beautiful country . They flew because of the insecurity and there would be no such thing if they didn't put drugs and weapons to messed up that country .
I am you and you are me . I go every year . My parents doesn’t know sis because they would literally stop me lol . I’m thinking about moving permanently. Shhhh don’t tell my parents ! Lol
I understand exactly how you felt. I was born 56 years ago and my father was Guyanese at 6 yes old my dad took me to his homeland, and it became my home, not the UK where I was born.. It set the foundation of my spirit to embrace my dads dream of going to retire and die in his home of his birth. My mother was a Jamaican (love Jamaica and it is also my home). My father instilled in me, that I was multi cultured and the UK is where I was born, my homeland is diverse. It lovely to see so many of your era embracing and moving to their parents homeland. Blessings to you. I looked at your channel via Miss Jemmia.
You see this is exactly why I want to go! I am older now and soo upset that I dont have a sense of tradition or understanding of my roots. From a young age I was told if I dont behave they'll send me to Haiti and so I associated it with punishment. I have been solo traveling and realize how much I have lost not being connected after seeing other cultures so proud and having all these traditions. I have fallen in love with just researching the history and watching videos on youtube of Haiti in the 40s, 60s etc. I can't wait to go I dont know how or when but Im going and going to educate my future children of my country.
So sad that parents use Haiti as a form of punishment. I've heard that a lot! Hopefully you can make it back one day. I would definitely recommend going on a group trip to Cap-Haïtien. Haitian Nomad host some great trips!
@Tai J... The message is "Always take your children with you" as Ruth's parents did. The best gift you could give them is "Summer Vacation" not in Port-au-Prince. Port-au-Prince is not Haiti as some pretend. It's only 20% of the territory. Cap-Haitien (the old capital) and its surrounding provinces have the safest environment right now. I left 40 yrs ago & I think now is the time to go back and reconnect with the land. I hope the professionals could go en masse to rebuild this heroic nation.
I love this! I always had a soft spot for Haiti. When I first moved to the US from neighboring Jamaica I realized that many people here had a negative connotation attached to Haitians. I knew many had negative thoughts against Jamaicans too, so that peaked my interest. I really appreciate you for sharing this, using this platform. People need to be educated and develop an unbiased connection with others. Happy Haitian Heritage Month y’all.
Haiti is not that if you live out of the city. Lagonave. Arcahaie. Saint mark. Jacmel. Those are a few good places to live by. As for PORT OF PRINCE stay away
I was in Haiti 1998. Second day of carnival as I was getting to Shanmas there was a Blackout. People the power outage lasted a good 45 minutes. Everyone stayed calm Pose not even a bottle was thrown. Our people are so much better than advertised. Haiti will be back. Educate the Youngs. We need to depopulate Port-au-Prince. I see your point.
And one thing I don’t like about people in America they always think all Haitian people do voodoo but they never talk about how some of us have strong faith in JESUS CHRIST… I’m Haitian me and my family don’t know nothing about voodoo all we know is about JESUS CHRIST we been a Christian all of all life …. So people need to stop judging our county
Wow, you were in Maryland this whole time? I wished I had gotten a chance to meet you. I really am inspired by your journey and transition back to Haiti. I really am thinking about going back home or split my time between home and the states.
Hi Rutty! I really enjoyed your video! Below are my questions: 1. What was your move to Haiti like? What did it entail? (i.e., apartment hunting, job hunting, etc.) 2. What were some challenges/difficulties? 3. What are the pros regarding the move? 4. What would your advice be to someone who’s interested in moving back to Haiti but doesn’t know where to start? 5. How did you meet your husband? (any cute couples video would be 👌🏾but if you want to keep your relationship separate from your TH-cam channel, I completely understand. I’m finishing my last year of law school and I’m just trying to figure out how I can give back to Haiti…not just financially but substantially. I want to move to Haiti and actually do the work necessary to advance the nation as a whole. Sorry for the lengthy post 🤔
Happy to hear that you want to give back to Haiti❤️. I will answer these questions in the Q&A, but will go into detail about my move in a separate video.
Thanks for sharing this with us Rutchilia! You're such an inspiration!! I was always curious to know what motivated you to move to Haiti and how you feel about that decision now that things are being worst and worst. As long as young people like you will exist, I'll keep believing in a new Haiti. Thanks for being an inspiration!
I subscribed with no hesitation once i heard you came back from the us to be in Haiti. Secondly you just moved to Cap haïtien, thats my favorite place to be, im from port au Prince but limonade its my mom hometown or county i can say. And now i studying project management i hope we can work together on some projects in the North. I wish you the best. Respect
Hey thank you for this video . I was in Haiti last June right before the assassination of the Haitian president to visit my sister's. Like you I came to the US when I was young. I too have a desire to help Haiti but my family is afraid I'm going to get killed if I go. I've been looking for people who like you to partner with so when we can bring change to the country.
What a blessing to have finally found such an inspiring channel ! This is exactly what I needed 🙏 I'm a 17 y/o Haitian girl and my entire life, I've never witnessed such an authentic devotion to my home country! Your talk has truly inspired me. May God bless your work and give you the strength to keep pursuing your mission! We love you sister ❤
When I'm hearing your story, it resonates so much with me as I feel the same about my country (Congo-Brazzaville), i've studied Urban Planning and international development, and I've just moved back home!! I love your content !!!
I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel, that was exactly what I was looking for. I'm 22 y/o and I grew up in Canada. My dream is to move back to haïti and work my grandparents land. I know it's not going to be easy but I want to make a change in my country.
Genesis 30:25 [25]And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban,✊🏿 Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country✊🏿.
Thank you for sharing I think it’s so important that as a race or a group of people we understand each other‘s cultures and how they are connected so again thank you so much for sharing your journey
I'm a simple person : I saw the title , I clicked . It's very rare to see or hear this exact sentence . Gnlly , it's the opposite ( and we understand why ) . Thanks for portraying our motherland positively !❤🇭🇹
That was absolutely amazing. I’m Haitian myself , and love my country profoundly. I’m aggravated with all these negative rumors speculating and ultimately brought fear to my children heart refraining them from visiting my homeland.
Wawww You are very special, It makes me feel like there are people who love the country. Where there is love, fear will not stay. May love always accompany you to fulfill your mission. Haiti needs you. There is hope for Haiti !! 🧡🧡🧡
13:50 that sentence alone holds weight seriously!! 🤯 Such a good video, well said! That’s good your living well there it’s just sad that not everyone especially the people who’ve lived/been for years can’t say the same unfortunately 😔. Violence/political issues happen not only in Haiti but everywhere everyday but however the difference for ex: the US have many resources/structure that help individuals with crime that take action etc (not saying it 100% the best) but Haiti does have it but not to that degree which makes it a bit hard to come back and stay...
You did the right thing. You studied internatinal development and decided to apply your knowledge at your homeland. God job ! Haiti needs that and need more people like you
❤🙏🏽🇭🇹 You go!🎉Haiti has been in my prayers since I was a little girl 😔 I'm 49 now.💔 My Parents taught me Haitian pride 2!!😊!💪🏽🇭🇹❤🙏🏽 🎵Ayiti cherie🎼 Love the point of the Focus groups. " program management in Haiti "😍🤔💡
it's still not easy to make these decisions especially when you decide to return to your country. You made a good decision and the country should be proud of you.
I salute your courage! That’s inspiring me. If you could do that, many of us can do it as well. I am fed up with the prevention that we are all living lavishly which is contrary to the US reality. I want to simplify my lifestyle and live modestly. Some places in Haiti can be suitable for that peaceful modest lifestyle which can lead to a longevity. Housing in the big cities is not affordable and the gas price is escalated. In fact, there is insufficient energy left to work two jobs to pay bills. I guess it’s time to go back to the island and contribute to the development of human capital.
Do you have any tips on how to speak Creole? My father is from Haiti I was born in Florida. I didn't learn, wasn't taught. And I never visited home. This is such a wonderful video, our people did MUCH!!
Was born in Haiti, but never visited because of scary stories. My parents are dying off, I need to reconnect with my ancestors. I love that you are embracing our country. Please keep sharing, maybe I can visit and work on a project with you.
Thank you for sharing. Your story is an example of why we need to follow our instincts and listen to our intuition. So many will try to detract you from your purpose and speak fear into your journey abroad, but it's important to stay focused. I love to hear your passion for Haiti, and watching your videos I see so much potential in that beautiful country. 😊
I am American . You have to go where your heart beat. I know people move overseas an left America. An people move to America and other countries. People go where you love. ❤ I have a lot of Haitian friends. Crime is everywhere. Went to Jamaica an it had crime . Went to other countries crime too. America has crime. Everywhere is good and bad on this planet. We people have to love each other. An push peace around this 🌎.
Lol I went to Haiti after 30 year last month and I did not want to come back soon I’m going to Haiti I tell my children that’s going be my home … anyway the USA is to crazy right now . I’m going back to my country is so beautiful and the food is better and some of the people all nice
Peace and blessings Sis, I am very interested in making the move. As a natural born leader, I'd like to make good use of it, for the younger generations. Are you aware of any careers open?
Nowdays you will not dare to send a kid by herself to Haiti, Not even an adult for that matter.... I have a thirst for Haiti and I would love to go to Haiti today, It' s been four of five years since I was there and The place is wonderful specially the country sides.....
Hi,Iam a flight attendant, and I've been in so many countries in the world, recently I was assigned to go fly for some weeks an airline in Haiti. but with a last minute change from company was send somewhere, I still can't wait to visit Haiti, I've alot négatif comment but from my experience everywhere is dodgy just be caution, I've started my you tube channel, and Iam so excited to visit Haiti and take alot videos and share my experience to my viewers. Iam glad to land on your channel, its gives me more confidence to visit. Your smile really show how you love your home. I'm subscribing to your channel, please tell us more about 🇭🇹. Greetings from Africa ♥
Thankyou !!!! Please don’t belive everything u hear . It’s an amazing country . Fun fact Haiti used to be #in tourism during the 50s-60s/70s then it decline . The potential is they’re !!!
last time i went to Haiti was at the end of 2019, I rented a house in Montagne noir with amazing view. I stayed a week at royal decameron , did all the excursions . I visited Jacmel, sceau d eau . I spent sometime at the kaliko beach. Tried a few restaurants there near place boyer. We had an amazing time. If i find the right people and the right project, i would definently invest.One thing i learned is that if you are not on the ground there to manage your business...it is trouble.
I’m already so excited to watch and binge all of your videos! I think this content is very much needed as there are so many of us in the diaspora that crave to be the change we want to see in Haiti and contribute but the idea seems so far fetched sometimes! Subscribed and followed on IG, can’t wait for more 💕💕
Bruh..you're going to be a transformative president in Haiti and one day some little boy and girl will be talking about moving to Haiti after their parents told them about you
I found out a few years ago my great grandfather came from Ayiti. He was one of the richest men in town. He drove a model T when a lot of other people walked. He also wore the finest clothes. Once I started diving into the history, just like you, I was empowered. Lord’s will I visit Ayiti one day
Which video did you mention the organization you work for? I'm looking at working or volunteering in reforestation initiatives when i move back home, and i seem to recall a mention in another video.
This is so awesome my sister, this sounds like me. I thought there wasn't many of us but there are thousands that can make a difference like you. Thank you so much may The Most High bless you!
Way to go girl. I have been to Haiti 5 times as a pastor on mission trips. I have not been there since covid but I still have a very deep passion for Haiti. Your words are so true. Pastor Chad Starfeldt
Awesome find! I am elated to discover your channel based on the title alone. We basically have similar vocation. I personally have been back and forth downthere recently. That land and the people are amazing. Ayiti is such a magnet. The reason we hear so much about crime in Ayiti nowadsys is due to the fact that once upon a time it was like a paradise and crime was nonexistent. I always tell people to not believe the hype! Growing up before moving to Jersey as a teenager, no one used to close their doors and gates when leaving for school and the local market. So go figure.... Thank you, thank you, thank you for your reinforcements!
Bjr, Jenn! I am so happy to find your channel. My daughters were born in America. I am planning to bring them home to Haiti as they get older so they experience the culture. You are an inspirational source for so many of us who left the country. Keep up the good work! Lakay se lakay!
I 'm so proud of You yong girl, may our God bless You honey. put God first in tour project and he Will protect You and give You succes. You inspired me a lot and I thank for that.
Nowadays, it's rare to find these positive messages about Hayti. Most people are doing the opposite. Keep it up. You are not loosing. That's your motherland.
New subscriber here! I wholeheartedly agree with you that the people we want to help need to be regarded as the experts. I am so happy to have found your channel. Watching this video had me feeling an overwhelming amount of pride and love for our country and culture. I wish you all the best and I am excited to follow your journey
You made the finest decision in your life darling , I m next, may God bless you and keeps you safe in your home town. My Haiti darling La pelle des Antilles. I cry every day for my country that the big Empires are destroy .
I love your purpose and reason for moving to Haiti. For the past year I’ve been working closely with Haitian families coming to the US and I am fascinated by your country and its people 🙏. I’m even trying to learn creole to better communicate with those who don’t speak English or Spanish. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos 💓
I haven’t been to Haiti for 12 years almost 13 years 🫢, every time I want to come to Haiti I heard some stuff that’s going on there I be like I’m good .but I hope one day I can go and bring my family with me. I just came across your page today it brought back so many memories.
Often times it's just certain areas having problems. You can visit Cap-Haïtien without any issue. You can even fly directly there from Florida. Please check out my Okap vlog💛
WOW your dad was so on point, I appreciate your story. If you can recommend me books to read so I can learn about Haiti that would be great. I was not privileged enough to have your experience. It is fine as I can always learn and give my children a chance! Thanks for sharing!
I’m filming a Q&A! Please leave your questions below 👇🏾
If your peers wanted to move to another county, what 2 experiences would you give as positive advice?
Do you work from home ? How do you handle all the insecurities in Haiti ?
How do you make money in Haiti? What do you do for work? Did you have it set up before you moved? How would you recommend people make their money in a way that doesn't take an opportunity from a Haitian, but rather adds to the development of the community/nation?
Also, did you buy a house? Rent? Build? Or move in with others?
Are there certain things to do to ensure your safety with all of the unrest that takes place? What do you do for work in Haiti if you don’t mind sharing? Have you partnered with any U.S. based organizations like USAID or the embassy with your development background? What was your Creole proficiency when you first moved vs now?
Thank you cause I know that’s not even half the questions I have 😂
wow that's great... your father did a great job telling you stories about Haiti... many Haitian parents make the mistake of not teaching their children to speak Creole etc... I wish you a lot of success in your work your videos give us strength and remind us that our duty is to save Haiti not to abandon it Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Their kids don’t speak creole and the parents can barely speak English. 🙄

And one thing I don’t like about people in America they always think all Haitian people do voodoo but they never talk about how some of us have strong faith in JESUS CHRIST… I’m Haitian me and my family don’t know nothing about voodoo all we know is about JESUS CHRIST we been a Christian all of all life …. So people need to stop judging our county
Wow, you were in Maryland this whole time? I wished I had gotten a chance to meet you. I really am inspired by your journey and transition back to Haiti. I really am thinking about going back home or split my time between home and the states.
Im thinking the same thing im Haitian American. I want to go my motherland 🇭🇹
Me too, I wanna wake up and see the sun every morning. I miss our country Ayiti Cheri!
Our infinite Love for Haiti 🇭🇹 (Ayiti)
Hi Rutty! I really enjoyed your video! Below are my questions:
1. What was your move to Haiti like? What did it entail? (i.e., apartment hunting, job hunting, etc.)
2. What were some challenges/difficulties?
3. What are the pros regarding the move?
4. What would your advice be to someone who’s interested in moving back to Haiti but doesn’t know where to start?
5. How did you meet your husband? (any cute couples video would be 👌🏾but if you want to keep your relationship separate from your TH-cam channel, I completely understand.
I’m finishing my last year of law school and I’m just trying to figure out how I can give back to Haiti…not just financially but substantially. I want to move to Haiti and actually do the work necessary to advance the nation as a whole.
Sorry for the lengthy post 🤔
Happy to hear that you want to give back to Haiti❤️. I will answer these questions in the Q&A, but will go into detail about my move in a separate video.
Be brave, Familiarize yourself with the different news Chanels to get a feel of the mood there.
Thanks for sharing this with us Rutchilia! You're such an inspiration!! I was always curious to know what motivated you to move to Haiti and how you feel about that decision now that things are being worst and worst. As long as young people like you will exist, I'll keep believing in a new Haiti. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Aww thanks Kendy❤️❤️❤️
I subscribed with no hesitation once i heard you came back from the us to be in Haiti. Secondly you just moved to Cap haïtien, thats my favorite place to be, im from port au Prince but limonade its my mom hometown or county i can say.
And now i studying project management i hope we can work together on some projects in the North.
I wish you the best.
Respect
Hey thank you for this video . I was in Haiti last June right before the assassination of the Haitian president to visit my sister's. Like you I came to the US when I was young. I too have a desire to help Haiti but my family is afraid I'm going to get killed if I go. I've been looking for people who like you to partner with so when we can bring change to the country.
we need more people like you.
💛💛💛
Wow! I am so proud of you. Haiti will always be home, and I’ll be back as well.
In the process of looking at homes, among other things.
What a blessing to have finally found such an inspiring channel ! This is exactly what I needed 🙏
I'm a 17 y/o Haitian girl and my entire life, I've never witnessed such an authentic devotion to my home country!
Your talk has truly inspired me.
May God bless your work and give you the strength to keep pursuing your mission!
We love you sister ❤
Thank you so much hun! I appreciate it💛💛💛
When I'm hearing your story, it resonates so much with me as I feel the same about my country (Congo-Brazzaville), i've studied Urban Planning and international development, and I've just moved back home!! I love your content !!!
That’s awesome!!!🙌🏾💛
I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel, that was exactly what I was looking for. I'm 22 y/o and I grew up in Canada. My dream is to move back to haïti and work my grandparents land. I know it's not going to be easy but I want to make a change in my country.
Genesis 30:25
[25]And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban,✊🏿 Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country✊🏿.
Thank you so much for sharing! So glad your family supports you and believes in a better Haiti!
Thank you for sharing I think it’s so important that as a race or a group of people we understand each other‘s cultures and how they are connected so again thank you so much for sharing your journey
Thanks for watching❤️
What part of Maryland u from? I moved from Delma to silver spring when I was 8!
I went to school in Silver Spring!
HAITI TO THE WORLD
I'm a simple person : I saw the title , I clicked . It's very rare to see or hear this exact sentence . Gnlly , it's the opposite ( and we understand why ) .
Thanks for portraying our motherland positively !❤🇭🇹
That was absolutely amazing. I’m Haitian myself , and love my country profoundly. I’m aggravated with all these negative rumors speculating and ultimately brought fear to my children heart refraining them from visiting my homeland.
It’s not rumors it’s facts.
Wawww You are very special, It makes me feel like there are people who love the country. Where there is love, fear will not stay. May love always accompany you to fulfill your mission. Haiti needs you. There is hope for Haiti !! 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks so much🙏🏾❤️
Rutty if every Haitian in the diaspora thought the way you did Haïti would be perfect! Keep up the great work and stay safe and happy 😊
13:50 that sentence alone holds weight seriously!! 🤯 Such a good video, well said! That’s good your living well there it’s just sad that not everyone especially the people who’ve lived/been for years can’t say the same unfortunately 😔. Violence/political issues happen not only in Haiti but everywhere everyday but however the difference for ex: the US have many resources/structure that help individuals with crime that take action etc (not saying it 100% the best) but Haiti does have it but not to that degree which makes it a bit hard to come back and stay...
You did the right thing. You studied internatinal development and decided to apply your knowledge at your homeland. God job ! Haiti needs that and need more people like you
💛💛💛
❤🙏🏽🇭🇹 You go!🎉Haiti has been in my prayers since I was a little girl 😔
I'm 49 now.💔
My Parents taught me Haitian pride 2!!😊!💪🏽🇭🇹❤🙏🏽
🎵Ayiti cherie🎼
Love the point of the Focus groups.
" program management in Haiti "😍🤔💡
Mwn gen memm feeling nan leu m ale Haïti mwn Santi m Lakay mwn . ♥️Haïti chérie
it's still not easy to make these decisions especially when you decide to return to your country.
You made a good decision and the country should be proud of you.
Thanks Nesny😊
there's no other country like our beloved Haiti.
Moving back soon!!!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹❤❤❤❤
The God of heaven is moving his children back home. I know I will be back in Haiti.
Your roots are in Haiti. That's why. That's your home. Your motherland.
Tell your father, thank you 🙏🏾♥️🇭🇹🇭🇹♥️🙏🏾
I salute your courage! That’s inspiring me. If you could do that, many of us can do it as well. I am fed up with the prevention that we are all living lavishly which is contrary to the US reality. I want to simplify my lifestyle and live modestly. Some places in Haiti can be suitable for that peaceful modest lifestyle which can lead to a longevity. Housing in the big cities is not affordable and the gas price is escalated. In fact, there is insufficient energy left to work two jobs to pay bills. I guess it’s time to go back to the island and contribute to the development of human capital.
Wow...the first Video I watched! I love the background story 😊
What an intelligent sister. Love this and inspired❤️
aww thank you❤️
bonn chans ak program lan, Ayiti ap vremen aprecie servis la
Byento map retounen viv ayiti
Do you have any tips on how to speak Creole? My father is from Haiti I was born in Florida. I didn't learn, wasn't taught. And I never visited home. This is such a wonderful video, our people did MUCH!!
Was born in Haiti, but never visited because of scary stories. My parents are dying off, I need to reconnect with my ancestors. I love that you are embracing our country. Please keep sharing, maybe I can visit and work on a project with you.
Thank you for sharing. Your story is an example of why we need to follow our instincts and listen to our intuition. So many will try to detract you from your purpose and speak fear into your journey abroad, but it's important to stay focused. I love to hear your passion for Haiti, and watching your videos I see so much potential in that beautiful country. 😊
That's also my dreams to go back to Haiti specially Cap-Haitien where are come from.
I can’t wait to move back, I’ll trade my citizenship just to be happy
Anvi vinn jwenn ou ui Haiti si ou single? Fredi Fredi
😲😱 omg finally I heard a story similar to mine I've moved back myself with my children's and my friends and family really think I'm going crazy lol
Been there since 2019 I live in cap Haitian and let me tell you one of the best decision my husband and I made
I appreciate the creole captions since TH-cam doesn’t have it as an option
I am American . You have to go where your heart beat. I know people move overseas an left America. An people move to America and other countries. People go where you love. ❤ I have a lot of Haitian friends. Crime is everywhere. Went to Jamaica an it had crime . Went to other countries crime too. America has crime. Everywhere is good and bad on this planet. We people have to love each other. An push peace around this 🌎.
How can you make impactful contributions to Haiti without living or working there or being in development?
Lol I went to Haiti after 30 year last month and I did not want to come back soon I’m going to Haiti I tell my children that’s going be my home … anyway the USA is to crazy right now . I’m going back to my country is so beautiful and the food is better and some of the people all nice
We have Plaisance here in Seychelles too.
Peace and blessings Sis, I am very interested in making the move. As a natural born leader, I'd like to make good use of it, for the younger generations. Are you aware of any careers open?
Nowdays you will not dare to send a kid by herself to Haiti, Not even an adult for that matter.... I have a thirst for Haiti and I would love to go to Haiti today, It' s been four of five years since I was there and The place is wonderful specially the country sides.....
Hi,Iam a flight attendant, and I've been in so many countries in the world, recently I was assigned to go fly for some weeks an airline in Haiti. but with a last minute change from company was send somewhere, I still can't wait to visit Haiti, I've alot négatif comment but from my experience everywhere is dodgy just be caution, I've started my you tube channel, and Iam so excited to visit Haiti and take alot videos and share my experience to my viewers. Iam glad to land on your channel, its gives me more confidence to visit. Your smile really show how you love your home.
I'm subscribing to your channel, please tell us more about 🇭🇹.
Greetings from Africa ♥
Thankyou !!!! Please don’t belive everything u hear . It’s an amazing country . Fun fact Haiti used to be #in tourism during the 50s-60s/70s then it decline . The potential is they’re !!!
last time i went to Haiti was at the end of 2019, I rented a house in Montagne noir with amazing view. I stayed a week at royal decameron , did all the excursions . I visited Jacmel, sceau d eau . I spent sometime at the kaliko beach. Tried a few restaurants there near place boyer. We had an amazing time. If i find the right people and the right project, i would definently invest.One thing i learned is that if you are not on the ground there to manage your business...it is trouble.
I absolutely agree! You truly have to be here when it comes to investing.
Sis!!!! May God Bless You!!!! How may I help?????
I’m already so excited to watch and binge all of your videos! I think this content is very much needed as there are so many of us in the diaspora that crave to be the change we want to see in Haiti and contribute but the idea seems so far fetched sometimes! Subscribed and followed on IG, can’t wait for more 💕💕
Proud of you. God bless you.
Thank you!🙏🏾
Our church is praying for you. May the Lord use you in Haiti for his glory to shine upon you. Our church loves you!
Thank you!🙏🏾💛
Bruh..you're going to be a transformative president in Haiti and one day some little boy and girl will be talking about moving to Haiti after their parents told them about you
I found out a few years ago my great grandfather came from Ayiti. He was one of the richest men in town. He drove a model T when a lot of other people walked. He also wore the finest clothes. Once I started diving into the history, just like you, I was empowered. Lord’s will I visit Ayiti one day
I'm proud of you
Which video did you mention the organization you work for? I'm looking at working or volunteering in reforestation initiatives when i move back home, and i seem to recall a mention in another video.
This is so awesome my sister, this sounds like me. I thought there wasn't many of us but there are thousands that can make a difference like you. Thank you so much may The Most High bless you!
Thank you💛💛💛
Pretty soon I'm leaving too Are you a seventh day Adventist?
Re-watching this. So inspiring ❤
Way to go girl. I have been to Haiti 5 times as a pastor on mission trips. I have not been there since covid but I still have a very deep passion for Haiti. Your words are so true. Pastor Chad Starfeldt
Awesome find! I am elated to discover your channel based on the title alone. We basically have similar vocation. I personally have been back and forth downthere recently. That land and the people are amazing. Ayiti is such a magnet.
The reason we hear so much about crime in Ayiti nowadsys is due to the fact that once upon a time it was like a paradise and crime was nonexistent. I always tell people to not believe the hype!
Growing up before moving to Jersey as a teenager, no one used to close their doors and gates when leaving for school and the local market. So go figure....
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your reinforcements!
This is awesome!!!!!
I’m about to move back home soon as well!
I love my Haiti 🇭🇹
Good luck. Very risky and brave move
Bjr, Jenn! I am so happy to find your channel. My daughters were born in America. I am planning to bring them home to Haiti as they get older so they experience the culture. You are an inspirational source for so many of us who left the country. Keep up the good work! Lakay se lakay!
Should we just let Haiti go to wasteeeeeeee????😭😭😭
I 'm so proud of You yong girl, may our God bless You honey. put God first in tour project and he Will protect You and give You succes. You inspired me a lot and I thank for that.
Nowadays, it's rare to find these positive messages about Hayti. Most people are doing the opposite. Keep it up. You are not loosing. That's your motherland.
I'm not from Haiti but I have friends from Haiti. This is very inspiring to me. I'm from Jamaica . But thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for watching!❤️

New subscriber here! I wholeheartedly agree with you that the people we want to help need to be regarded as the experts. I am so happy to have found your channel. Watching this video had me feeling an overwhelming amount of pride and love for our country and culture. I wish you all the best and I am excited to follow your journey
You made the finest decision in your life darling , I m next, may God bless you and keeps you safe in your home town. My Haiti darling La pelle des Antilles. I cry every day for my country that the big Empires are destroy .
how much see was the ticket to move to haiti from the usa
I love your purpose and reason for moving to Haiti. For the past year I’ve been working closely with Haitian families coming to the US and I am fascinated by your country and its people 🙏. I’m even trying to learn creole to better communicate with those who don’t speak English or Spanish. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos 💓
That is so awesome, thanks for sharing!
💛💛💛
I haven’t been to Haiti for 12 years almost 13 years 🫢, every time I want to come to Haiti I heard some stuff that’s going on there I be like I’m good .but I hope one day I can go and bring my family with me. I just came across your page today it brought back so many memories.
Often times it's just certain areas having problems. You can visit Cap-Haïtien without any issue. You can even fly directly there from Florida. Please check out my Okap vlog💛
@@ruttyb I saw it I loved it,it’s so nice 😊 that’s what I heard.
🥰😍🤩💥💥 pitit tig se tig!!! Timoun gran lakou...
Wi!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
WOW your dad was so on point, I appreciate your story. If you can recommend me books to read so I can learn about Haiti that would be great. I was not privileged enough to have your experience. It is fine as I can always learn and give my children a chance! Thanks for sharing!
