Founders Clifford Raphael and Zdenka Pierre want to unite the Haitian
people of Philadelphia while also supporting the many different projects that
are already in place. “We want to host socio-cultural events and support upcoming
artists by collaborating on their projects. We plan to sponsor different
artists, events and anything we feel portrays our culture positively,” explains
Clifford.
Despite the
negativity and tragedies that have struck the country of Haiti, the people continue
to strive and move forward in positive ways. Not only are Haitian people strong,
but they continue to sing, dance and party throughout what most would consider terrible
circumstances. Evidently, entertainment fuels Haitian people and inspires them to
push on for the future. MEG’s mission is to provide events that promote the
Haitian culture in a positive light and give the people something to look
forward to.
“Our main focus
is on exposing the beauty of Haiti. If you take notice, our logo is red and
blue which are the main colors of the Haitian flag. Even our name, Maribou, is derived
from “marabou.” Marabou is an all natural
Haitian woman which you can also see on our logo along with hearts that
represent the love and unity we have for Haiti,” explains Zdenka.
