My mother passed from COVID-19, and shortly after, my father passed from what I truly believe was a broken heart. I was shattered. Grief swallowed me whole. But in the middle of that heartbreak, I got married and became a mother, giving birth to my first son. That chapter was beautiful\u2014but also incredibly heavy. I battled postpartum depression while trying to show up for my family, my career, and the new life I was responsible for.<\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-3\"><\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-4\">In the years that followed, I chose to honor my parents\u2019 legacy by creating something bigger than myself. I co-founded R\u2019Legaci LLC, our family-owned publishing company, and co-authored my first children\u2019s book, Ramses Learns Kindness, in 2024. That same year, I gave birth to my second son\u2014becoming a proud #boymom of two\u2014and began to pursue my powerlifting journey. Fitness became a way to reclaim my body and voice after motherhood, and I began to advocate for women navigating postpartum healing and strength.<\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-5\"><\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-6\">In 2025, we took Storytime with Ramses on tour, sharing our story with families across Massachusetts and even internationally. I also launched Mocha Mommy Strength Inc., a nonprofit devoted to empowering mothers and caregivers through holistic wellness and sisterhood. I hosted our first wellness walk, Sista Stroll, and began planning our flagship event, the StrongHer Summit. I wanted to create the very spaces I once needed\u2014where women could be held, seen, and reminded they are not alone.<\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-7\"><\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-8\">I also became an investment property owner, a milestone dedicated to breaking generational cycles and building wealth for my sons. As a first-generation Haitian American, that moment was more than a financial win\u2014it was a spiritual promise to my parents and a legacy for my boys. And through community-led cultural initiatives like Kiddies Carnival, I continue to create spaces for Haitian children to be celebrated and seen.<\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-9\"><\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"formatted-input-10\">Through every chapter\u2014grief, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and healing\u2014I\u2019ve remained rooted in service, strength, and story. I believe I deserve to be recognized because I\u2019ve turned every challenge into a chance to uplift someone else. I\u2019m not just building a resume\u2014I\u2019m building a legacy.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-post_contents -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-contents -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-container -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"lhea-modal-7455-7433\" class=\"lhea-modal-container lhea-modal-right zoom-anim-dialog mfp-hide lhea-color-flatui\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-contents lhea-boxdesign-style-8  lhea-team-young-leader-of-the-year-2025\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button href=\"#lhea-modal-7455-7433\" class=\"lhea-close-modal\"><i class=\"fa fa-times\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-picture\">\n\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dr.-Garnaelle-Senatus.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dr.-Garnaelle-Senatus.jpeg 337w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dr.-Garnaelle-Senatus-229x300.jpeg 229w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-picture-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"lhea-modal-name\">Dr. Ganaelle Joseph-Senatus<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Member position-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"lhea-modal-position\">Psychiatrist at McLean Hospital<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div><!-- lhea-modal-picture -->\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-post_contents\">\n\t\t\t<p>A psychiatrist, a dermatologist, and two internists walk into a patient\u2019s room. No punch line, just a close group of friends working together. That was an average day for me as an intern at Mass General Hospital. On my first day as a resident physician, I was paired with the most dedicated, eclectic, and supportive group of people, who in the years since have become so much more than colleagues. A memory that often comes to mind is the presentation of a patient to an attending during bedside rounds. Four of us walked into the patient\u2019s room and pulled the curtain. The admitting resident proceeded to introduce herself and began introducing the rest of the team, only to get stuck multiple times when she realized that she didn\u2019t know our last names, needing us to\u00a0 each rescue her in turn. Later in the resident workroom, we sat down and laughed about how we had known each other for weeks to months, had spent time together both inside and outside of the hospital, and usually addressed each other on a first name basis, forgoing the doctor so-and-so title.<\/p>\n<p>There is no hierarchy among us, no difference between who is an internal medicine preliminary resident or isn\u2019t. I have had the same relaxed, cordial rapport with my psychiatry resident cohort from meeting them on the first day of psychiatry orientation to working in various psychiatry units at McLean Hospital and MGH.<\/p>\n<p>Every few months, my two internist colleagues and I have dinner together. We light up about the particular experiences we are having in our respective program. I always reminisce about how one of them helped me place my first medication order as a doctor because I did not know the electronic medical record well. They speak about the many zebra psychiatry cases they see on the medical units and their superb collaboration with the psychiatry consult team. We smile about the day they will place a consult on a medical patient, and I will be the senior resident or attending answering their questions. As a PGY-2 in the Acute Psychiatry Service, I tried whenever possible to deliver my assessment and plan in person to my emergency medicine and internal medicine colleagues working in the ED, instead of dropping a note or doing a brief phone call. As a PGY-4, I message my friends in other specialties just to see hello when I see an outpatient note showing they are also on a mutual patient\u2019s care team. The camaraderie remains with current and old friends.<\/p>\n<p>Among my psychiatry co-residents, we are already arranging trips to visit soon-to-be and recent resident alumni who move across the country. Whenever there\u2019s a national conference to attend, we check in with our fellows and new alumni friends to see who will attend so we can arrange a group dinner. As I approach the end of my training, these friends are already sharing job leads and making the case for why I and other co-residents should join their practice or academic medical center upon graduation. Our ties remain strong because we are not just friends or colleagues: we are family. They are the reason I know that I could not have made a better decision than choosing to train here at MGH\/McLean.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-post_contents -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-contents -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-container -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Render JS -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div><!-- #layers-heroes-assemble -->\n\t\t        <\/div><!-- .row -->\n\n            <input type=\"hidden\" class=\"lhea-shortcode-args\" value=\"section_title=_|_section_excerpt=_|_teams=young-citizen-of-the-year-2025,young-entrepreneur-of-the-year-2025,young-influencer-of-the-year-2025,young-leader-of-the-year-2025,young-professional-of-the-year-2025_|_filterteams=_|_max_heroes=25_|_page=1_|_pagination=no_|_sortby=rand-ASC_|_columns=3_|_showsorting=yes_|_sortingdesign=style-1_|_sortingalign=left_|_sortinghideshowall=no_|_sortingorderby=name_|_sortingorder=ASC_|_boxdesign=style-8_|_colorskin=flatui_|_showname=yes_|_showpicture=yes_|_showexcerpt=no_|_showposition=yes_|_showsocialmedia=no_|_use_modal=yes_|_modal_type=right_|_modal_icon=fa-mortar-board_|_modal_view_label=_|_showpicture_modal=yes_|_showname_modal=yes_|_showposition_modal=yes_|_showsocialmedia_modal=yes_|_showcontents=yes_|_showphone=no_|_showemail=no_|_showwebsite=no_|_showskills=yes_|_lhea_id=7455\" \/>\n            \n    <\/section><!-- .lhea-widget-section -->\n    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45e0ff6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"45e0ff6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3b7f37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c3b7f37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/?p=4634\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Button_ReserveTickets.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1600\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Button_ReserveTickets.png 385w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Button_ReserveTickets-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Haitian Chamber of Commerce Announces the 25 Finalists for the 6th Annual Haitian American Young Professional Awards and Gala Night FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESeptember 17, 2025 Haitian American Business Expo, Inc. \/U.S. Haitian Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
