Ayisee Stock, a media platform championing the vibrant cultures of the Caribbean, Africa, and people of color around the globe, is making a powerful statement this Haitian Independence Day. Throughout January 1st, 2024, the platform will proudly replace its like icon with the Haitian flag, a symbol of resilience, resistance, and the world’s first free Black republic.
This simple yet impactful gesture honors the rich history and cultural heritage of Haiti, a nation that has long inspired and instilled pride in people of color worldwide. On January 1, 1804, after a brutal and bloody revolution against French colonial rule, Haiti declared its independence, becoming a beacon of hope for enslaved people everywhere.
By replacing its “LIKE” icon with the Haitian flag, Ayisee Stock goes beyond celebrating Haitian independence. It serves as a potent reminder of the vital importance of diversity, inclusivity, and representation. “We are proud to celebrate Haitian Independence Day by showcasing the Haitian flag on our platform,” says Jameson Thermitus, Ayisee Stock’s founder and CEO.
“We believe it’s crucial to remember and honor Haiti’s history and the contributions of its people to the world. We hope this gesture inspires others to delve deeper into Haitian culture and history.”
Ayisee Stock’s decision to celebrate Haitian Independence Day is commendable. By using the Haitian flag as a symbol of diversity, inclusivity, and resistance, the platform sends a powerful message that resonates with people of all backgrounds.
This Haitian Independence Day, let us all take a moment to remember the courage and determination of the Haitian people. Let us celebrate Haiti’s rich culture and heritage, and commit to working together to build a more just and equitable world. Ayisee Stock’s commitment to celebrating Haitian Independence Day serves as an inspiration to us all. Let us join in the celebration and honor the legacy of this remarkable nation.
