This past week has been intense for us at The Haitian Times. Threats, a canceled gathering, and our editor being swatted—yet we’re standing strong. Grateful for the support from journalists and leaders. We’ll continue covering Springfield and shining a light on anti-Haitian hate.
I'm proud to announce that
@pulitzercenter
has awarded
@HaitianTimes_
a $10,000 grant to do a deep dive on the relationship between the countries that share the island of Hispaniola:
#Haiti
and the
#DominicanRepublic
Excited about what is to come next.

Thanks

and
@HaitianTimes_
for incredible coverage of Haiti and Haitians
. I hope the average American is a tad more informed about my beloved but deeply troubled Haiti cherie
it's delicious to watch white American academics getting hot and bothered by
@nytimes
series on Haiti because they didn't get proper credit. You all been getting credit for the work done by Haitian scholars because you publish in English. Shut up! pay back is a bitch

At the Haitian Times, we are committed to changing that dynamic because we strongly believe that if Haiti is serious about joining the democratic community, it needs a robust and functioning media ecosystem.

has died, I've learned. RIP my brother. You will be missed. This band marked my early life in the U.S in a very positive way.
Now, as Haiti finds itself once again in the news, many of our readers, Haitians in general, have been outraged by the depiction of their beloved homeland in the mainstream media.

“I spent lots of time walking, during the day, and at night, across many countries to come to the U.S.,” Ulysse said, in Spanish. “I left Chile to seek a better life.”
When the report was released, it arrived without fanfare. No Security Council meeting. No U.N. press briefing. And when some observers read it, they noted its lack of details, direction, and even clarity as to the strength of the mission to follow.
few foundations are willing to help. We don't fit the correct boxes. Are we local? No. Yes.... too complicated. Meanwhile our audience is most vulnerable to mis-dis-information.
It was an honor and privilege to have been part of

you all said the same thing about Trump until the info started trickling out. Am not saying they're true, but i wouldn't dismiss them outright, given what we've seen
To these Haitians, the Dominican Republic is an alternative they’re willing to explore. The proximity to Haiti gives them a feeling of being in Haiti, but without the insecurity and the oligarchs who play dirty and have a penchant for monopolies.

“Right now, my son is sick, but I can’t take him to the hospital,” he told me. “ Even though he was born here, my wife and I don’t have legal papers. They will deport us if we go to the hospital to find care for him.”
Haitians: We need the international community's help.
Haitians: Why does the international community always put their nose in our business. psychologists have a word for that.

in my opinion the whistleblower is head of a team that reported those activities to her or him. It's second hand but very, very credible
what a way to close out the year. Congratulations

@macollvie
for this wonderful opportunity. Our readers are about to get a whole lot smarter. Many thanks to
@janesasseen
for this.
I’m working on a new poster with
@BenjaminLinas
&
@The_BMC
about what patients admitted for
#COVID19
can expect during their hospital stay. Is anyone available to help translate into Spanish & Haitian Creole ASAP?
These are the most in demand languages for our hospital patients
we're deeply grateful to
@Report4America
for its robust and continued support of our work. We couldn't have done it without your support particularly in the last year
@mitchellreports
you know am not mad at trump anymore. am mad at the people who voted for him, not the base, but people who should know better. After all, he told us who he was and we didn't believe him.
