In this episode of ANDEDAN, I sit down with Wide Thomas, an immigration attorney serving the Haitian community in the United States and one of the most intentional people I have ever encountered.Many people see the success. They see the title “Attorney.” But behind that title is a story of resilience, struggle, and extraordinary inner strength.Wide shares how intention shaped her journey from survival to freedom, a life where she puts herself first. And how she now uses her legal expertise to bring clarity and empowerment to Haitians navigating the U.S. immigration system.This is a conversation about courage, purpose, and the power of choosing who you become.

Emily louvri kè l sou kijan li te aprann desine yon vi ki rich ak lajwa malgre gwo pèn tankou depa souden papa l ak konba pou l te anbrase pwòp bote l kòm fanm Ayisyen.Sa n ap jwenn nan konvèsasyon sa a:• Kijan pou w konstwi yon idantite ki onore rasin ou.• Batay kont estanda bote ki te fè l santi l 'pa bèl'.• Kijan pou w jwenn fòs pou w kontinye viv apre yon gwo pèt; enpòtans terapi ak meditasyon • Enpòtans lang Kreyòl la kòm yon zouti pou rasanble e pataje kilti n.Avètisman: Nou pale de sijè ki delika tankou lanmò souden ak sante mantal.

She recounts how her return visits ignited a powerful desire to contribute to Haiti's future, leading her to a pivotal moment at the base of Citadelle Laferrière. It was there, through a simple yet powerful encounter with a street vendor, that her focus shifted from nonprofit work to entrepreneurship. This encounter solidified her conviction that business, not just aid, holds the key to truly uplifting Haiti.But Fabiah's path wasn't without its challenges.

Gen yon dikton kreyòl ki di:  pito nou lèd, nou la. Mwen konprann pouki nou di l, nou dwe siviv malgre mize, malgre lanfè, n ap kenbe. Men pa pito nou bèl nou la.Olye nou simplement suviv, pouki nou paka viv, nay, pouki nou paka viv byen? Olye nou lèd, fòk nou gen odas, fok nou gen kran, fok nou oze bèl! NOU BEL, NOU LA!Nou gen ase splendè nan nou. Nou gen ase bon bagay nan nou. Objektik la se puize yo, mete yo an evidans epi plènman cheri yo, pou nou sa briye plis.ANDEDAN se yon espas pou kaptire bote nou. Pou rappel ke: gen moun k ap reflechi peyike gen ayisyen ki konsekan, gen jèn k ap bati, k ap reve, ke dyaspora ap fè mèvèy.Se yon espas kote istwa nou, eksperyans nou, sajès nou, mizè nou, batay nou, talan nou, tout sa yo revele fòs ak bèlte andedan nou.ANDEDAN la pou enspire ak anriche nou. ANDEDAN la pou anplifye vwa nou e toufe sa k move, kap eseye pran tèt nou pou kwè ke nou pa vo la pèn. Se sa m swete.

Byenvini. Welcome.Se yon vwayaj lanmou, pèseverans, tristès, kè kontan, ak triyonf.
