Decolonizing Hispaniola

In Cultured Companysowthe seeds of peace, conflict resolution, reconciliation, collaboration, and dialog in young black and Latinx leaders in order to move from a divided past towards a shared future.  We curate unique experiences, facilitate intimate gatherings, and design educational tools and resources to deconstruct the divisions that have defined the diaspora across historic chasms and promote transformational change in the next generation of leaders. We build bridges where others have built barriers.

In Cultured Company

This is an intimate gathering for people of Haitian and Dominican descent to deconstruct the divisions that define Hispaniola and discuss how to move past the current narrative to reshape our future. 
The discussions will center around evaluating our ideas of nationality, nationhood, ethnicity, race, color, class, colonial identity, historical memory, and economic inequality in the context of DR & Haiti. Honest questions and dialog will be encouraged as expert facilitators provide the tools, knowledge, and provocation to deconstruct our collective histories, identities, and examine the power dynamics that support and sustain the current status quo.
 
 
Facilitators:
Alexis Francisco- Healing for Social Change
France Francois- Haitian History and Identity
Saudi Garci- Dominican History and Identity
Cassandre Theano- Justice and Movements for Human Rights
