Neo-colonialism remains a potent force in Haiti, perpetuating its presence with an iron grip. Regrettably, speaking our native tongue, Creole, and practicing our native religion are banned in private schools and unjustly deemed uncivilized in society. The Native bourgeoisie, echoing the words of Amilcar Cabral, has internalized the colonizer's mentality, considering themselves culturally superior to their own people and disdainfully disregarding their cultural values.

At the heart of our identity lies Petwo, the family of Lwa (spirits), summoned by our ancestors during the valiant struggle for Independence in 1804. To this day, it stands as a cherished pillar of our identity, as Voodoo warmly embraces and safeguards the LGBTQ+ community. In this captivating series, we pledge to reject the role of agents in imperialist domination, vowing to preserve our heritage with an ode to Voodoo's profound significance.

This photographic journey becomes a testament to our unwavering commitment to resist neo-colonial influence, championing the right to celebrate our cultural heritage, and stand firmly against attempts to erase our language and beliefs. It is a reverent homage to the enduring spirit of Voodoo, an inclusive sanctuary that continues to fortify our sense of self and community amidst the challenges we face.
