The Haitian American

The Haitian American Created in 2011 from a Need to Empower, Motivate, and Encourage Success through Education. C., Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston.

Haitian-American defined: Haitian-Americans are Americans of Haitian heritage, or Haitian-born people who are naturalized citizens or permanent residents of the United States. The largest proportion of Haitian-Americans live in South Florida, New York, Washington, D. According to the 2009 the US Census, there are an estimated 1,000,000 Haitian-Americans living in the U.S.

The Haitian American is blog which aims to highlight positive community leaders and uplifting stories about Haitian-Americans in their local community, universities, churches, families and more. "If this is a battle for our souls. Then it's a battle for our future. In order to win, we will rely on our roots. Culture, Community, Education, Service and Success." Background: Haitians that emigrated to the United States brought many of their cultural practices and ideologies to their communities. Many foreign-born Haitians went into the business sector, often setting up their own businesses. Many Haitians established barbershops and their own restaurants (predominately Haitian cuisine). Haitian presence and culture is often strongly felt when entering communities of a significant Haitian-American presence, most notably, the well-known ethnic enclave in Miami, FL known as "Little Haiti." Neighborhoods in New York, such as Flatbush (Nostrand), East Flatbush, and Canarsie of Brooklyn and Elmont, Long Island, have a significant Haitian-American influence as well. The Mattapan section of Boston is considered the main center of Boston Haitians. More recently, many Haitians have left "the big city" for a better, more quiet life and better education for their children thus growing Haitian communities in smaller cities in the Northeast especially Providence, Rhode Island. Influence is sometimes marked by the everyday conversations between people in Haitian Creole on the streets. Second-generation Haitian-Americans are generally more successful in terms of higher-paying occupations, and significantly better levels of education. Follow Our Website http://Lunionsuite.com

For the 2025–2026 school year, France has pledged to fund nutritious lunches for 80,000 students through the National School Canteen Program (PNCS). This marks a step toward both child welfare and economic revival. Announced by French Ambassador to Haiti during a visit to the local supplier CLÉS on the school year's eve, this initiative isn't just about filling plates. It is a strategic investment in Haiti's youth and agricultural backbone.

The program kicked off amid Haiti's official back-to-school ceremonies on October 1. It emphasizes sustainability from the ground up. Every one of the 80,000 daily meals will be crafted from 100% locally sourced ingredients. Hearty staples like rice, corn, beans, and fresh milk form the basis. This deliberate choice goes beyond nutrition. It is a lifeline for Haiti's rural economy. By prioritizing domestic procurement, the effort directly bolsters 3,500 national producers and 1,500 livestock breeders. It creates stable markets and injects vital income into farming families.

"This 2025/2026 school year, will finance the daily meals of 80,000 students in Haiti," Michon shared in a bilingual announcement on X. Accompanied by PNCS Director General Kevenot Dorvil, Michon's tour of CLÉS highlighted the on-the-ground logistics, from harvest to school tray.

Haiti's has long been a beacon in the fight against malnutrition, which affects nearly half of the country's children under five. With an ambitious national target to serve 1.5 million students by the end of 2025, this goal builds on previous years' efforts supported by partners like the World Food Program (WFP). This French contribution aligns with the 2024–2030 National Action Plan for school feeding.

In Haiti, where this school year's theme is "Restoring the Authority of the School," we hold hope for true renewal among our Haitian children.

In September, we featured for joining Forbes’ 2025 List of the world’s black billionaires. This week, is celebrating the -born physician and entrepreneurial genius whose audacious vision and relentless drive have propelled Axsome Therapeutics to a $6 billion biotech empire, redefining treatment for brain disorders. From a childhood marked by adversity in Haiti to becoming a billionaire innovator, Tabuteau’s extraordinary journey underscores his pivotal role in reshaping global healthcare.

Raised in amid profound challenges, Tabuteau immigrated to at 9, forging a path of resilience. He earned molecular biology and biochemistry degrees from Wesleyan University and a medical degree from , initially set on neurosurgery. Disenchanted by the field’s limitations, he transitioned to finance, honing his expertise over nearly two decades at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and his own investment funds, where he mastered biotech’s complexities.

In 2012, Tabuteau launched Axsome Therapeutics, named for the "axon" and "soma" of nerve cells, in a modest New York office. Defying industry giants, he rejected venture capital, funding the venture with personal savings and support from friends and family. His mission: tackle brain disorders like depression, , and ’s, which afflict 150 million Americans. By diversifying Axsome’s portfolio, conducting trials in-house to slash costs by 30-50%, & employing data-driven sales tactics, Tabuteau revolutionized biotech efficiency.

Now, Axsome boasts three FDA-approved drugs, including Auvelity, a groundbreaking depression treatment that acts in days, and Sunosi, generating over $100 million annually. With five drugs in the pipeline and potential approvals by 2028, Axsome’s revenue soared to $495 million for the 12 months ended June 2025, with a $6.1 billion market cap. Tabuteau, holding a 15% stake, commands a $1.1 billion net worth, cementing his status as a biotech titan.

Forbes spotlights Axsome’s Alzheimer’s agitation drug, poised to generate $1.5-3 billion annually, a potential game-changer in a field reliant on risky alternatives.

- In the early hours of October 1, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, backed by federal forces including Black Hawk helicopters, descended on a low-income apartment building at 7500 S. South Shore Drive in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood.

The raid, which involved agents rappelling from helicopters and wielding long guns, resulted in the arrest of 37 individuals, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Officials maintained the action was focused on dismantling gang networks, but eyewitness accounts paint a picture of indiscriminate chaos. Doors were smashed, furniture overturned, and personal belongings strewn across floors as agents searched dozens of units. "It looks like hell," said one resident upon returning to her ransacked apartment, where drawers had been emptied and mattresses slashed. Many families, including those with mixed immigration status, were zip-tied and held for hours in the building's lobby, some in their nightclothes.

Among the most harrowing details emerging from the operation: four U.S. citizen children, ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, were detained alongside their parents until relatives could be contacted for placement. "They dragged naked kids out of their homes, away from their parents," recounted podcaster Emma Vigeland on X, sharing photos of the chaotic aftermath. The incident has drawn sharp criticism from community advocates, who liken it to a "Gestapo-style" enforcement under the incoming Trump administration.

The operation comes amid escalating tensions over immigration policy, with President-elect Donald Trump publicly suggesting Chicago could become a "military training ground" in response to local resistance against federal enforcement. Protests erupted shortly after the raid, with demonstrators marching down Michigan Avenue on the evening of October 1 to decry the tactics. Faith leaders and activists have invoked biblical calls to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves," framing the event as a moral crisis.
