Nan epizod sa a, Carl-Henry Cadet — ekonomis, jounalis, ki te la kòm reprezantan Kolektif Ayisyen AfwoDesandan — ki sot retounen dirèkteman de Jenèv kote li te pran lapawòl devan 5ème sesyon Fowòm Pèmanan Nasyon Zini pou Moun Desandan Afriken.
25 an aprè Deklarasyon Durban, yon sèl verite rete klè : mond lan te fè pwomès li pa respekte. Epi peyi kòm Ayiti — ki te peye $21 milya (valè aktyèl) bay Lafrans pou libète li an 1825 — kontinye ap peye pri enjistis sa a jodiya.
Nan epizod sa a nou kouvri :
✅ Kisa Deklarasyon Durban 2001 te vize
✅ 4 rekòmandasyon konkrè Carl-Henry te pote devan ONU Jenèv

Enjistis la pa rete nan listwa sèlman. Li kite mak li nan sosyete a. Rezilta a ka parèt jodi a nan:
moun ki pa gen menm chans pou jwenn bon lekòl
kominote ki pa gen menm aksè ak travay, kredi, swen sante
fanmi ki pa ka konstwi richès paske yo te toujou mete yo dèyè
gwoup moun ki kontinye peye pri desizyon ki te pran lontan avan yo te fèt
Yon fason senp pou di l:
“Sa ki te mal fèt yè, ka tounen yon baryè pou moun jodi a.”

Rapò Amnesty International sou dyaspora Ayisyen (2025)

Nou travay di — we work hard. We send money home. We sacrifice so our children have more than we did. But for many families in the Haitian diaspora, wealth resets at every generation, not because of a lack of effort, but because the tools, structures, and conversations that make wealth transferable were never put in place.

In this episode of Edikasyon se Richès, we sit down with Jacky Petit-Homme, CFP, CEPA, a financial advisor who works with diverse communities, including immigrant families to talk about the real mechanics of building generational wealth, not the Instagram version, the real one.

We cover:

•       Why budgeting and an emergency fund are the non-negotiable foundation, and how to build them even when you're sending remittances

•       The retirement accounts most people in our community aren't using, and how a 401(k) match is literally free money you may be leaving behind

•       What happens to your assets when you die without a will in the United States, and what to do about it

•       The difference between a will, a trust, and a beneficiary designation, and which one your family actually needs

•       Life insurance: what it's really for, and why the wrong kind can cost your family more than it gives them

•       How to teach your children about money so that the knowledge transfers, not just the assets

Edikasyon se richès; and this episode is that education. Whether you're just starting out or looking to formalize what you've already built, this conversation is for you.

🧠 GERIZON PA YON LIY DWAT

Avèk Dr. Maritza Medgine Pierre

Nan epizòd espesyal sa a, nou resevwa Dr. Maritza Medgine Pierre Dietrich, sikològ, konsultan nan òganizasyon, ak batisè kominote, pou yon konvèsasyon ouvè ak kourajèz sou sante mantal, byennèt lespri, trauma, ak sa vle di vrèman pou yon moun geri.

Nou pale de :

✦ Kisa gerizon vle di — pa nan sans roman, men nan reyalite lavi chak jou

✦ Pakou Dr. Pierre — kòman doulè pèsonèl li mennen l nan sikoloji

✦ Sa vle di rive nan yon pwogram doktora kòm yon fanm nwa, Ayisyèn, imigran

✦ Tabou kiltirèl sou sante mantal nan kominote nou an

✦ Diferans ant sikològ ak sikyat — sa ou bezwen konnen

✦ Kijan pou nou sipòte moun nou renmen ki nan soufrans

✦ Poukisa chèche èd se yon zak kouraj, pa fèblès

« Gerizon pa yon liy dwat. Se yon vag, pafwa lapè, pafwa tristès, pafwa anksyete. Premye etap la se akseptasyon. »

— Dr. Maritza Medgine Pierre
