Hope and A Future: A Celebration of Haiti

May 19, 2013 by findingpaola

“Everyday in America, we get up, and we live life because we have infrastructure. We have water. We have electricity. We don’t think about these things. We utilize these things. But (en Ayiti) in Haiti, we have to get up, and we have to (cheche lavi) look for life. But despite that, we still get up, we still say, ‘Thank you life.’ We still say mesi lavi.” -Marie-Yolaine Eusebe It’s 2013, and a major issue in Haiti is Cholera. Lack […]

Ready for Haitian Flag Day!

May 8, 2013 by findingpaola

With the help of my good friend, Alejandro, I was able to snap some good photos with Ania in Union Square two days ago. We went all out with our Haitian pride where we coordinated the Haitian flag colors. It was fun to shoot with Ania, the super model of the team. The tanks are now available on the website! http://www.ansanmnouseayiti.com Also our Haitian Flag Day giveaway is over, and the winner was announced on our Facebook page this past […]

Style post: Colorful African Turban

April 16, 2013 by findingpaola

It’s still not warm enough to roam the streets in short dresses without the need of a jacket or tights. I love the new CatherineMarion dress I received from my friend Abby! There are so many ways to wear it, and I can’t wait to pair it with some nice heels for an afternoon out. Since I’m the kind of person who wants to wear everything I get right away, I wore it the same week I got it with […]

Ansanm Nou Se Ayiti T-shirts!

April 2, 2013 by findingpaola

Ansanm Nou Se Ayiti means Together We Are Haiti.  It’s a tribute to Haiti. It’s a movement to unite Haitians living abroad and in Haiti because together we are stronger. #AnsanmNouSeAyiti I had the opportunity to shoot the “Ansanm Nou Se Ayiti” tshirts with Haitian musician, Paul Beaubrun of Zing Experience, and Haitian fashion model, Ania Charlot yesterday. Our necklaces are made by Haitian jewelry designer, MVP for the BohiomaniaHaiti line. Photos are by Alejandro Cerdena. It was a great experience. […]

NYC Adventures: A night with Zing

March 22, 2013 by findingpaola

“In one word, describe Zing Experience and what the band means to you.” That was the question my partner Natalia and I asked fans who came to see Zing perform during their album release party at Webster Hall, a couple of weeks ago. The answers were all very different and special in their own way. “Roots,” said Regine, founder of Haiti Cultural Exchange and long time supporter of Zing Experience and the Beaubrun family. “Unique,” added an older gentleman. “Original” […]

Introducing: Soukena Jn Jacques for “Ansanm Nou Se Ayiti”

February 15, 2013 by findingpaola

Soukena and I first met at a Haiti fundraising event last October. She was a goodwill ambassador for Fresh Water Pop up Shop, a fundraiser to bring fresh water to Haiti. When we were introduced, I was told that we once attended the same school in Haiti. After that evening, I contacted her via twitter to link up because I was interested in hearing what she has been up to, and how she feels entirely about our homeland, Haiti. The […]

Introducing: Ania Charlot for “Ansanm Nou Se Ayiti”

January 23, 2013 by findingpaola

  I met Ania at An’n Pale, a cafe conversation series hosted by Haiti Cultural Exchange. The person of interest for that night was Dayanne Danier, fashion designer and humanitarian, and she had Ania model some of her clothes. I saw how incredibly striking Ania was and decided to approach her to let her know and also to introduce myself. After hanging out with Ania a few times, I must say that I’m delighted that I approached her because not […]
