Haitian-American diaspora

The Haitian-American diaspora refers to the community of people of Haitian origin living outside Haiti, primarily in the United States. This diaspora originated through waves of migration due to political instability, economic challenges, and natural disasters in Haiti. These communities maintain cultural ties through language, traditions, and organizations, while also integrating into American society. The Haitian-American diaspora plays a vital role in supporting Haiti through remittances, advocacy, and cultural exchange. Overall, it is a dynamic and resilient population that bridges Haitian heritage with American life, contributing significantly to both countries’ social and economic landscapes.
