If we look at the surface uncertainties may cause us to panic and worry.However these emotions are fruitless and add nothing to your stature. Be anxious for nothing. In prayer and supplication make your requests know to God and you will have what you desire. That's #Word! Do not be conformed to this world. You are a supernatural being created in the image of the creator and All Things are possible.

Rebattie Haiti...A SUCCESS!
....OK.. its eight o'clock and my nerves are getting to me. I am searching for a place in my mind that is peaceful and does not allow me to worry. I try to find a corner in the BVIC(Bronzeville Visitors Information Center)to gather my thoughts. However no matter where I go somebody seems to find me.
I take the elevator downstairs and meet up with Charles one of the individuals who helped to plan this event. We begin to talk about FAVOR....ahhhh...FAVOR...my favorite word. Just what I needed to hear. At That moment I knew everything would be fine.
I spoke to Misrak of Organic Funk Productions and after speaking with her my nerves started to settle.
God is so AMAZING!!. People started coming in and any element of worry I had soon dissipated. My sister Joelle Lamarre opened the event with some background on our organization The Haitian Advancement Foundation.
Lid Law, P1 and J. Hill gave some amazing performances.My mother made some great food, my friend Victor Moore and his wife Briana kept the libation flowing and Dj Kmax played some great music. The vibe was positive and we almost made our goal of $1000.00. REBATTIE HAITI...REBUILD HAITI was a SUCCESS.
It feels wonderful to know how successful this event was, but let us not forget we have so much more work to do.
Haiti needs us more and more each day. HAF is dedicated to the economic development of Haiti through education. We understand that it is the responsibility and right of The Haitian people to make these changes on their own terms. HAF is here to assist.
As we grow we will continue to reach out to all of you and our hope is that you understand our motivation and help us to preserve and grow Haiti's rich culture.
Thank you to all who have supported and continue to support HAF and Rebbatie Haiti Rebuild Haiti.
Stay Focused, Positive and Productive

Haiti Through The Eyes of A Haitian American

In light of the recent tragedy that has taken place in Haiti, I can't help but think about all the lives that have been lost and the numerous families that have been affected. We live in a world were information travels at such a rapid pace and is forgotten just as fast. What does this tragedy mean to Haitians? What does this mean to Americans? How will this affect the world?
I pray this is not is not dismissed as the latest "trending topic" on twitter where there is a swell of concern until the next tragedy happens. The time to act is NOW!
I was so happy to hear that all of my immediate family was safe. However there are still many people missing and lost in the rubble. It is estimated that thousands have lost their lives. My hope is that those lives have not been lost in vain.
Haiti has a rich history, however if your information on Haiti has come through the American or Worldwide media I am very sure you have no idea how rich this history is.
The Haitian Revolution is the only SUCCESSFUL slave revolt in history and established the first republic ruled by black people. In my opinion this is why Haiti has suffered so within the past two centuries. In a world dominated by white supremacy the idea of a black republic ruled by former slaves could not sit well with the more prominent ruling class.
So as a result they paint a picture of Haitian being poor, illiterate and incompetent. That picture is the furthest from the truth. Haitians not only led the revolt in Haiti but also helped to free the Americas and represented a beacon of hope to those enslaved in America during that time. However so many of us do not know this and if we do know this we ignore it, or don't know the significance.
Well this recent tragedy can't be ignored. Haiti has to be set right before anything good can happen on this side of the world. God has spoken.
I expect America and the world to STAND UP and help Haiti. America can no longer turn a blind eye to Haitian suffering and at the same time Haiti must maintain it's autonomy.
"L'Union Fait La Force" translated "Unity Makes Strength" you see this saying on the Haitian Flag and it means more now than ever. This saying applies to the Diaspora and not just the Haitian people. Its time to get UNITED and BUILD!!
In the near future I will be holding a series of events to assist in the rebuilding Haiti. I know they will be successful and its the least I can do. I will be reaching out to many of you and I truly hope that you are able to donate time and or money toward the cause of making the world better.
If you are looking to make a donation now.....Please text "YELE" to 501501. It will charge your phone $5 to donate 2 the Haiti Earthquake relief, headed by Wyclef Jean. Please HELP. You can also hit Yele

"Father Father"
The United States is the greatest country in the world and I feel so grateful to live here. What I have noticed in this time of such great change is the new commitment to family. Our President-Elect Barack Obama represents the example of of what we are moving toward when it comes to taking our families back.
I've been through a few stages in my life where I have questioned why America specifically African-Americans are in such a horrible condition. I went through my thought process and pointed fingers at the history of our country when it comes to the destruction of our families. That thought process has merit, however we have to move toward changing this situation for ourselves. We can't wait for change to happen to us we have to make it happen.
It is time to reclaim our families and make this world and this country as great as it should be. Usually I don't have too many soapbox moments but I was prompted to write this because of a song I heard from an artist by the name of NYOIL called "Father Father" on this site http://whereisdad.ning.com/. It really touched me because I am a Father and sometimes it really does get hard, but it made me realize that we have to lead the charge to rebuild our families.
Truly it is on me. I Am A Father and I Love My Family!!
The Video for this song will be launched on Jan 12th. I look forward to sharing it with you.
Stay Focused Positive and Productive
