− 00:06:07: You went to New York at FIT. What did you major in?

− 00:17:37: As a non-Haitian, tell me – you seem so comfortable with all of it. I would have never guessed that you were not Haitian… but you’re a natural. I can see your love of the culture, and the way you relate to people. It doesn’t have any kind of hesitation. How do you manage to do that? I think it’s a particular skill… how you approach people. How do you manage to get so many connections, to get people to actually buy into that vision?
− 00:19:19: If someone contacts you within the community, you have been very supportive. Are there organizations that are partners that you work with closely?
− 00:21:00: As far as you see it, the role of the Center within South Florida and Little Haiti, how do you see that role?
− 00:22:31: Your Big Night in Little Haiti – that’s one of my favorite things. Tell me, how did this come about? Why did [the Little Haiti Cultural Center] decide to do that?
− 00:24:38: What about the art exhibit – want to tell us a little about that? Who are some of the artists who have been there?
− 00:25:54: But you have Edouard Duval-Carrié… what role does he play?
− 00:29:18: I also know that you volunteer and you’re on the boards of other organizations. Why are these organizations important to you? What are they?
− 00:32:38: Of all these accomplishments – and I know you have a few, which one do you think you’re most proud of?
− 00:34:38: Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Or 5? Or 3? Or 2?
− 00:35:58: Is there anything that I did not ask you that you would like to share with the archive?
− 00:36:12: What about your wonderful daughter?
