๐ญ๐น๐ฉธโข @pascalebelony ๐ This photo deserves a space of its own on my timeline.

Their courage, rรฉsilience, and strength become our generational inheritance. These attributes move us forward through modern day trials , foreign intervention, governmental corruption, and socio-political complexities. As long as I live, I will never stop fighting and advocating for Haiti. My ancestors abolished slavery, defeated three world powers, and helped liberate several countries in Latin America!

๐คด๐ฝ๐ญ๐น๐ฉธ I never thought in my lifetime I would have a mural in my honor. Iโm not a platinum selling artist but I must be doing something in my community for this acknowledgment. #AyitiWasBornInMe #FePouLi @ayitiwasborninme ๐ฉธThank You my Brother Muralist โSERGE @toussaint.serge TOUSSAINTโ who didnโt listen to the haters that told him it was too soon or heโs still alive - (Wait till he Dies) My Brother @toussaint.serge said Nah, Give him his Garden of Flowers now while he can smell em, but these devils donโt want you to smell Shyt. If you travel to the location where this mural was painted you will not find it because the NEW OWNER of the business didnโt care to check in with the community to find out who, where, what or why this mural was painted. If you think the business owner didnโt have to check in than we just wonโt support the business in our community. #Gentrification has served a purpose and has destroyed the spirit and culture in our community.
