I think about Haiti every day.  It is where my roots lie and my old memories live.  Haiti is where I lived as a boy before I left for Europe with my family to start a new life far from everything I had ever known and loved.  That experience taught me a way to see the world, and to understand how the world sees Haiti.

As a boy growing up in France, and later working as a model and actor, I learned about popular perceptions of my country—chronically corrosive politics, insecurity, corruption, the poorest place in the Western Hemisphere. Rather than alienate me, learning these perceptions gave me the strength to speak out and find meaningful ways to change how people see my homeland.
