Sak Pase?

Sak Pase is a Haitian creole greeting that means “Hello,” “How are you?” and “What’s Up?”—you get the drift. It’s a call and response with the affirmation being “N’ap boule,”—I’m good.

Haiti is the first Black republic to gain its independence and become a sovereign and free nation from the horrors of slavery. If you ask me, the world has been making Haiti pay for its audacity and courage ever since. Still, Haiti and its people remain vibrant, faithful and persevere. I don’t just have the blood of warriors but their spirit. I’ve been through some stuff. A lot. But I’m still here and taking up space.

I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams.
