Growing up in Haiti, we were fascinated by the way people express themselves sartorially. We would carry sketchbooks to recreate our favorite looks from the streets of Port-au-Prince and model our mom’s clothes at fashion shows we’d host at home for our family. It wasn’t until we came to New York that our journey took on a new meaning.

We moved to the Big Apple in 2010 after the tragic earthquake, and studied neuroscience and international business in college. When we started video blogging in 2014, we didn’t find many Haitian immigrants telling their stories and proudly owning their heritage. We didn’t see many black women excelling in creative careers. So we set out to change the narrative.
