About the National Haitian American Forum:
The National Haitian American Forum is an inclusive, informative and dynamic dialogue to address the primary concerns of Haitian Americans and the Haitian American immigrant communities across America. The forum is recorded and broadcast on Haitian TV stations and online.
A variety of issues are discussed during the forum including our beloved country Haiti. The forum is created to educate, uplift, and empower the Haitian community by bringing people together and engaging them in thoughtful dialogue, leading the way to constructive action. NHAF is held during the last weekend in May in celebration of Haitian Heritage Month.

What The National Haitian-American Forum is doing in bringing together Haitian-Americans of all backgrounds to discuss, reflect and offer their thoughts on issues affecting our community is fantastic and should be commended for its efforts in that regard.
We haven’t been as effective as we could be as a community because we haven’t always collaborated as we should have in the past in order to work as a unit to advance our community’s concerns and issues.
To advance the causes of the Haitian-American community and gain the respect we deserve we must know that it is paramount that we learn to function as one unit so that we may take full advantage of our growing political clot to influence the political actors that represents our community.
Again, I applaud all of you in The National Haitian-American Forum for all that you’re doing to educate our people on the issues affecting us and bringing together our community.
