"I believe stories are living forces. They can heal, rebuild, and imagine the worlds we deserve."
I’m a Haitian-American writer, filmmaker, and educator working at the intersection of story and social change. My practice weaves together performance, writing, filmmaking, education, and emerging language technologies.
I began my career as a performer in New York theater before transitioning behind the scenes to produce stories centered on underrepresented voices. I associate-produced White for ITVS’s Futurestates series, which screened at SXSW, Tribeca, and the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival.
Driven by a deep commitment to cultural transformation, I relocated to Haiti, where I taught “Leadership for Social Change” at the university level and supported a USAID-funded housing initiative for earthquake-displaced communities. The University of the West Indies commissioned me to produce an educational short on sustainable agriculture. I was selected for the CaribbeanTales Incubator at the Toronto International Film Festival, where I developed and pitched an original television pilot about post-earthquake rebuilding.
Today, I’m directing The Radical Experiment of Haiti, a feature documentary that explores migration, democracy, and imagination through the lens of my ancestral ties to abolitionist James Theodore Holly.
I’m also a 2025 Fellow in Columbia Journalism School’s Lede Program, where I’m developing an AI-powered tool to detect media framing bias. Using natural language processing, the tool helps identify emotionally charged or ideologically biased language in headlines, designed to support journalists, educators, and civic organizations confronting misinformation and media polarization.
My writing has appeared in Harper’s Magazine, The Haitian Times, and elsewhere. A finalist for the Writers Guild of America East’s Made in NY Writers Room, I am fluent in Haitian Creole and French, and committed to reimagining how stories can build a more just and connected world.
