Additional Interests

Repiblik

Repiblik stands at the crossroads of Haitian media, where we seek to push the boundaries of the Haitian story and produce content that doesn’t just echo in the entertainment corridors but resonates in the hallways of history.

Today, as we stand at the crossroads of history, we are faced with a choice – to be the brave that Dessalines spoke of, to stand united in our quest for a renewed Haiti.
