DISCOVER HAITI was more than an event \u2014 it was a movement to change the narrative about Haiti during this historic FIFA World Cup season.<\/p>\n
From Haitian food, music, sports, art, business, history, and entrepreneurship, attendees experienced the richness and global impact of Haitian culture and people.<\/p>\n
Powerful performances by KS Dance, BIC, and Berthelot Jeremie energized the audience, while Miss Universe Haiti Melissa Sapini inspired attendees with remarks about representing Haiti with pride on the international stage.<\/p>\n
A special thank you to poet Charlot Lucien for his moving poetic summary of Discover Haiti and to James R. Colimon and Jean Julien for their impactful closing remarks.<\/p>\n

During his remarks, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aim\u00e9 emphasized an important message for Haiti\u2019s future:
\n\u201cTrade, not aid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our President & CEO Dr. Hans Patrick Domercant reminded attendees that:
\n\u201cHaiti\u2019s story is much bigger than the headlines.\u201d<\/p>\n
We thank our incredible Chamber leadership team and volunteers, and all of our partners and supporters who helped make this historic event possible.<\/p>\n
Together, we are building a stronger narrative for Haiti \u2014 one centered on opportunity, culture, innovation, investment, and pride.<\/p>\n
