TPS holders are not "the worst." They are the workers. Haitian TPS holders serve as nursing assistants, home health aides, caregivers, drivers, agricultural workers, warehouse employees, and hospitality staff. https://t.co/8txkpKkuiF

Cette Coupe du Monde aura pour toujours un goût d’inachevé, car nous méritions de quitter ce tournoi d’une meilleure manière. Nous avons tout donné, pour vous rendre fiers et faire honneur à notre pays.

Mais ce parcours est une première pierre posée pour bâtir quelque chose de grand. Nous sommes sur la bonne voie, gardons le cap. Nous reviendrons.

GRENADYE ALASO !

Sak Pase, New York City!

It feels like just yesterday that I was greeting the crowd at @bayotour alongside Michaël Brun during my campaign. 

Now, as Mayor, I’m proud to once again join both @MichaelBrun and Council Member @CMRitaJoseph in wishing all the Haitians who call this city home a joyful Haitian Heritage Month.

And to Haiti’s national team: best of luck in the World Cup. Grenadye Alaso!

Friends — as you know, I'm both a mom and mayor, raising a delightful 7 year old on my own. This week, I cancelled a scheduled family trip to lead our city's crisis management efforts. I also made the more difficult decision to not disrupt my daughter's camp plans. I needed to get to her on Wednesday after work and bring her home, which I will do tomorrow. I am in constant contact with my senior team and have been in constant consultation with our partners throughout a short swing out of the District.
