Haitian girl gving back. My foot is too big for the glass slipper.

As a self proclaimed Haitian queen, and referred by my friends as the most independent girl, they know, I decided to take it upon my self to create a platform that helps empower other Haitian Women financially.
Laglasseslipper is created for Haitian women taking charge of their financial independence by handmaking goods and jewerly and trying to sell it for a good price.So far we have a Glasse Slipper is founded in Rochester, New York but Based in my Hometown Aux Cayes, Haiti. After watching my mother struggle after immigrating my family here from Haiti, I wanted to do something for the women in Haiti that doesn't have the same opportunity to come to America to work in order to provide a better life for their children.
I believe in giving people a hand up and the best way to combat poverty is to help people make a living and teach them a skill. I came up with the idea and submitted it to my school and was invited to go to the Clinton Global Initiative conference in Miami in march 2015. My focus was to help empower Haitian women financially so they don't have to marry in order to get out of poverty and decrease male financial dependency which is very common in Haitian culture.
My goal is to hire 8 women by next year and so far we have 3 women working with James who designs and paints our products.
By purchasing our products you are supporting these women directly because the money they earned from our sales is used to buy food and other necessities for their children. Every product is handmade and made out of recyclable products.


Laglasseslipper is on etsy and Facebook and currently under negotiations with a retail store in Rochester, NY.

Haitian men in Miami, stay out of their path

I can only speak from personal experiences that myself, family and friends have encountered. I only have negative horror stories to speak about Haitian men in the Florida area, especially in Miami. Although most men in my culture are attentive, caring and very great fathers and husbands, I have to say the rest that I have encountered are scam artists, liars, cheats on their wives constantly and are even evil. The reason why Miami is home of the bad guys is because Miami is the premier destination for Haitian people that choose to restart their lives in America. The lack of jobs, and hardships and the competitiveness in Haitian culture after moving to America caused these men to become selfish, scam artists and borderline desperate. One incident in particular, one of my friends thought that she had found love after a pleasant encounter with a stranger in the International airport in Miami.  For privacy reasons we gonna use Sara as her alias name.They exchanged phone numbers and used to be on the phone for hours. The only problem was that she lived in NYC and he lived in Miami. He told her that he was studying criminal justice on his way to become a police officer and owned a trucking business in Haiti. They planned their first visit for her to come see him.  When she got to the airport, he kept sending her to voicemail and did not picked up his phone. After being stranded for hours, he finally send one of his friends to pick her up and she had nowhere to go. It was then she found out that he had a pregnant fiancee and was only in America on a temporary visa. After one of his friends tipped off the pregnant fiancee, he had to leave her stranded in the airport because if his fiancee called off the shotgun wedding, he would be deported for staying past his visa date that was already expired. To top things off he had a girlfirend in Haiti and had a three year old daughter.
