🌿✨ Haitian Heritage Month | Spotlight

Preserving Culture & Leading Change

As we celebrate Haitian Heritage Month, we uplift the women whose leadership has transformed heritage, vision, and resilience into lasting impact. Their work reflects the strength, innovation, and community-centered values that define Haitian legacy.

Today, we honor Dr. Bertrhude Albert and Dr. Priscilla Zelaya, the founders of P4H Global. Their early work in Haiti revealed an important truth: sustainable progress happens when local communities are empowered, educated, and supported from within.

That commitment led to the creation of P4H Global, where teachers are equipped, leaders are developed, and communities are strengthened through education and sustainability. 🌍📚

During Haitian Heritage Month, we celebrate women who preserve culture, uplift communities, and create change that lasts.

💜 Want to honor Haitian Heritage Month in a meaningful way?

Support Haitian women-led organizations building long-term, community-driven impact.

10 Years of Official Recognition. A Lifetime of Legacy. Happy Birthday, Little Haiti!

Little Haiti has been the heartbeat of Miami's Haitian community for decades, a place where Creole is spoken, culture is celebrated, and resilience runs deep. But it took the unwavering dedication of Haitian community leaders, activists, and everyday residents to make it official. In May 2016, the City of Miami formally designated Little Haiti as an official neighborhood with recognized boundaries, a hard-fought victory that belongs to every single person who called this community home before it had a name on a map. Now, we celebrate!

The Little Haiti Revitalization Trust invites you to join us for a cocktail reception commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Little Haiti's Official Boundaries right in the heart of the neighborhood we love.

📅 Tuesday, May 26th
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Caribbean Marketplace | Little Haiti, Miami

Space is limited — RSVP today: 👉 https://form.jotform.com/lhrt/LHBDay

Vini fete avèk nou! Come celebrate with us! 💙❤️
