Haitian Heritage Month is celebrated every May to recognize and honor the rich cultural heritage of Haitians. This month-long celebration highlights the contributions and achievements of Haitian people. There are Haitian populations worldwide, and the contributions of Haitian people have made a global impact worthy of celebration.
Haitian Heritage Month has its roots in Haitian Flag Day, which is celebrated on May 18th each year. This day commemorates the creation of the Haitian flag in 1803, following the country's successful revolution against French colonial rule. Originally Haiti shared the same Tricolor flag as France, however, in 1803 the middle white band was removed leaving only the blue and red band as a symbol of the black and mulatto population. Haitian Flag Day is an important symbol of Haitian independence and pride, and it is celebrated by Haitians around the world.
The Haitian flag is a symbol of great pride and identity for the Haitian people, and its colors hold significant meaning. The flag consists of two horizontal blue stripes, one on top and one on the bottom, with a red stripe in the middle. The blue stripes represent the Haitian people's African ancestry, as well as their commitment to freedom, unity, and loyalty. The red stripe symbolizes the blood shed by Haitian soldiers during the revolution for independence, as well as their courage and determination to fight for their rights and liberty. Overall, the Haitian flag serves as a powerful representation of Haiti's rich history, culture, and spirit of resilience.
The Haitian Revolution, which started in 1791 and culminated in Haiti becoming the first independent Black republic in the world, was a historic event that had a profound impact on the course of global history. This revolutionary struggle against colonialism and slavery challenged the prevailing notions of racial hierarchy and white supremacy and demonstrated the power of enslaved people to overthrow their oppressors. | | | GRATITUDE TO I.C.C.C.P FOR ACCEPTING AFRIKIN!!! | | | THE COUNTDOWN TO THE OTHER WORLDLY EXPERIENCE HAS BEGUN... | | | | | | INIKO INTERVIEW - UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL | | Iniko [they/them] is one of New York's most celestial new voices on the indie soul scene.

Spotify | Instagram | | | | | This Week's Tip by Dr. Prince J. El read below | The holistic wellness referralIf you were looking for wellness in health or finances, what specific criteria are you looking for?
Let's say you had high low density lipid cholesterol, with mild to moderate high blood pressure and no insurance or will of any kind, the silent killer duo, and you wanted to treat the two, is "holistic" an option? I know this is an odd pairing of symptoms, but what if the two are really connected in ways you have not considered or defined like "holistic." What does holistic look like to you? Holistic is defined in medicine as characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness. If we applied the definition to the high cholesterol and blood pressure absent insurance to replace the income of someone who maybe has a family depending on their ability to co-provide income for the cost-benefit of certain foods, just considering wherever you are in the world, what is available, accessible, or a staple that pours ingredients into the mental, physical, spiritual factory of your being? Not often does the doctor get to ask you questions that go beyond this wellness treatment clinic, however, I do want you to evaluate your definitions of not just your physical and fiscal health, but also I ask you what expectations you have for your treatments. Are medications the way to go temporarily or forever? You might not have to pay for medications now, but what about if you had to pay for medications in the future, would you be able to without it being a financial burden? What if someone you care for is depending on you to show them the way and you aren't there physically or economically; would that need go unfulfilled like a prescription? I have spoken with clients mostly on two instances, before any problems, and when the problem gets out of hand, and usually that is just an adjustment in developing a mindset of consistency alongside a disciplined behavior. The same mindset we have towards a retirement plan, is really about providing care and not needing it, than needing it, and not having it, like the cholesterol of 18-year-old you. If you weren't thinking holistic before, you might be now and together we will learn more of how.
