In everyday usage, the definition of diaspora is: 1. scattering, dispersion, 2. The movement, migration, or scattering of a people away from an established or ancestral homeland.
Tonight, Diaspora is a film installation featuring projections onto a foreclosed house that, after sitting vacant for four years, is set to be demolished. Designed as a visual voice for our community that confronts the consequences of foreclosure, this house glows with the images of other foreclosed homes that have since been demolished in surrounding areas of Minneapolis as well as throughout the nation, and bringing them back from the dead.
By highlighting the temporary physical existence of the house—once a home—and the looming disappearance of the structure and history of 2726 Stevens Avenue South, Diaspora intends to give leverage to the silent issues surrounding foreclosure, displaying publicly its prevalence and the breadth of those affected by it.

I've been a web entrepreneur for a few years now creating websites for profit. Anytime I had an idea for a website, I'd quickly buy a domain for it and go nuts on it for a while creating it.
It may sound strange, but there goes a long stretch of time where I forget I'm Haitian. In my household we've always spoken English. My parents even prefer to speak their broken English than creole. Growing up my parents knew how important family was to raising kids to my brother and I were always around Haitian family. Even though we were around Haitian family members, living away from our motherland, it became difficult to incubate ourselves in Haitian culture. Los Angeles has no "Little Haiti" to speak of. Outside of hearing the same stories of Haiti over and over, Haitian ferver in our lives was impossible to maintain.
As much as my brother jokes that I'm American as apple pie, the truth that he can't deny is that so is he, even though he was born in Haiti and I was not.
So I created Diaspora Stories on the hunch that there are millions of people just like me -- and the facts tell me that I'm right. There are estimates of as little as 1 million and as high as 3 million Haitians living outside of Haiti.
Remembering that I'm Haitian
Living in America, I can often have to remember that I'm Haitian. I understand how controversial that can sound but it is a reality I face. Living in America, however, and espcially Los Angeles, I never forget that I'm black because the color of my skin comes up so often.
I recently walked in on my dad shedding tears as he watched on television images of the aftermath of the Earthquake that rocked Haiti two years ago. As I watched the program with him, I wondered why I wasn't tearing up and whether or not I would be crying if I had been born in Haiti and had strong, lasting experiences growing up in Haiti.
