I'm not a brand. I'm a person who grew up hearing things that made me think.

I was born and raised in Haiti and came to America at 14. Like a lot of people who leave home young, I carried the culture with me — the food, the music, the way people talked. But what stayed with me most were the proverbs. Dèyè mòn gen mòn. Lajan fè chyen danse. Piti piti, zwazo fè nich li. Words that didn't try to make life pretty. Words that told the truth about struggle, about community, about what it actually takes to keep going.

These proverbs came to me from everywhere — from family, from growing up in Haiti, from the Haitians around me wherever life took me, and from years of research into the language and its oral traditions. They've been passed down for generations, and every time I hear one I haven't heard before, it still surprises me how much truth can fit into a single sentence.

Before I ever thought about art, I spent years in IT — technician, senior tech, server manager, engineer. Then I made a left turn into Hollywood, where I spent over fifteen years in post-production. Two completely different worlds, but both taught me the same thing: details matter, and what you put out into the world reflects who you are.

MoKreyol started because I wanted those proverbs to live somewhere beyond memory. Not locked in a language most people outside the diaspora can't read, but on walls — in homes, in offices, in spaces where someone might glance up and feel something true.

These aren't decorations. They're a culture's way of making sense of the world. And I think the world could use a little more of that right now.
