Haitian Flag Day in Miami, usually a vibrant celebration, felt particularly muted this year due to the socio-political challenges faced by Haiti. The streets were quieter, with fewer vendors and participants, revealing the emotional weight carried in the community. Despite this, the spirit of resilience shone through as individuals continued to express pride in their heritage. Artists like Gregory 'King Tetrus' Owens are also pushing forward, illustrating the determination within the Black experience to find joy and thrive, regardless of external adversities.
"This year, the atmosphere leading up to Haitian Flag Day feels subdued compared to past celebrations, reflecting the struggles Haiti faces, a stark contrast to the pride of the event."
"Haitians in Miami continue to celebrate their heritage even in tough times; resilience is part of the Black experience—a way of finding joy amid adversity."
