The Embassy of Haiti's Trivia Night and Open House

On Thursday September 14, 2017 the Embassy of Haiti hosted Trivia Night Thursdays, an evening complete with laughter, games, new friends, and complimentary beverages.

The event takes place weekly as a way to share the colorful and rich culture that is Haiti to a broader audience in the Washington Metropolitan area. The extremely diverse group of attendees were treated to a fantastic tour of the premises complete with artwork from Haitian artists as well as information on both known and unknown figures that complete its history.

The group was broken down to smaller teams in the effort to win an unknown but coveted surprise. After several competitive and extremely entertaining rounds, only one team was prized with the fabulous gift of pillows designed by a top Haitian artist and a dinner with the Haitian Ambassador, Mr. Paul Altidor himself.

On one end you can learn about the mummification process in ancient Egypt and at the other, you can be standing in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The various escapes to different genres of life provides visitors with enough information to settle any curiosities. At this point, I've been able to lay eyes on some of the best museums in the world and The Met just evokes that "Major Alert!" feel. Some museums have quaint cosy vibes, and others pure, simple and fresh, but then the are the "Other, others" which houses more than anything else, visitors. If you love art and care deeply about all of its nuances, it may be important to try to feel the space around you, and even think of the history of the person who made what's in front of you. But often times in the major museums,...

WeWork Creator Awards - Washington, D.C.

On March 28th the creators of WeWork dispersed $1.5 million of the $20 million pledge to support and help creators worldwide share their ideas. The event was filled with non stop laughs, networking, food, venders, and music, plenty of good music. The creators of WeWork spent time and money to ensure guests were fed, and not without all the cocktails or beverages their bellies could handle. Another pleasurable part of the experience was the $50 vouchers given that could be used as real currency to buy from the venders ( I mean, seriously, who doesn't like free?). The company not only used the night to show appreciation to its staff and customers, but also made a way to make a family. Although I had little interest in the company before, I'm sure I will be keeping up with them for their future endeavors. I mean, I am technically writing abo...
