Hello, I'm Jeanne Assinthe, the heart and soul behind "Pawol Lakay." As the Founder and Chief Executive Officer, I steer our ship towards celebrating and preserving the vibrant tapestry of Haitian culture. My journey began with a deep-seated passion for my heritage and a vision to share it with the world.
At "Pawol Lakay," I wear many hats – I'm a strategist, a curator of cultural initiatives, and a bridge-builder connecting our rich history to the present and future generations. I lead with a spirit of inclusivity, ensuring that every project, event, and educational program we undertake resonates with the essence of Haiti and touches the hearts of our community. I am committed to elevating Haitian arts, language, and traditions, and I work tirelessly to secure the resources needed to make our mission a reality. My role is to ensure that "Pawol Lakay" remains a beacon of Haitian pride, a platform for learning, and a hub of cultural celebration that brings people together, both within and beyond our diaspora.
In addition to leading "Pawol Lakay," I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the CEO of a trauma-informed virtual wellness agency. My expertise in mental health and trauma informs the empathetic approach we take in all our cultural initiatives. I deeply understand the need for healing and resilience within our community, and this insight shapes our programs and outreach.
My role extends to serving as a business-to-business consultant and trainer, where I leverage my clinical skills to guide organizations in creating supportive, trauma-aware environments. I am dedicated to fostering wellness not only through cultural engagement but also by advocating for mental health and providing the tools and training necessary for businesses to thrive in this critical aspect of employee and organizational well-being.
As the CEO of a virtual wellness agency and a seasoned business-to-business consultant and trainer, my professional reach knows no bounds. Based in the sunny state of Florida, I harness the power of digital technology to connect with clients and organizations all over the world, offering my services, support, and expertise without being tied down by physical distances.
My heart's work lies in leading "Pawol Lakay," where I am deeply involved in uplifting and promoting Haitian culture. While my efforts here often have a local flavor, resonating with communities that hold a rich Haitian heritage, the digital age has enabled me to expand our cultural dialogue and educational endeavors to a global audience.
In essence, my operational radius is as broad as it is deep:
Engaging in local and regional community outreach for cultural engagement and event hosting right here in Florida.
Extending a national reach for wider cultural promotion and forging meaningful partnerships.
Embracing a global scope through my virtual wellness services, consultations, and training programs, making the most of digital tools to connect and support clients across continents.
As a multifaceted professional with a diverse portfolio, my primary areas of focus span several key domains. These primary areas of focus reflect my commitment to cultural enrichment, mental health advocacy, and the empowerment of individuals and organizations through strategic guidance and education:
Cultural Advocacy and Education: At the helm of "Pawol Lakay," I am dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Haitian culture. I lead initiatives to educate both the Haitian diaspora and the wider public about our rich heritage, traditions, and arts. This involves curating cultural events, developing educational content, and fostering a sense of pride and identity within our community.
Virtual Wellness and Mental Health: With my background as an LCSW, I prioritize mental health and wellness through my virtual agency. I focus on providing trauma-informed care and services, supporting individuals and communities in their journey towards healing and resilience.
Business Consultancy and Training: Leveraging my clinical expertise, I consult with businesses to create trauma-aware strategies and practices. I offer training programs that empower organizations to cultivate supportive environments and address the mental well-being of their workforce.
Digital Engagement: Recognizing the power of digital platforms, I engage with a global audience through online services, webinars, and interactive content. This digital approach allows me to break down geographical barriers and extend my reach.
Community Development: I am passionate about contributing to the socio-economic development of the Haitian community. This includes supporting local businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs, and collaborating with various stakeholders to drive community growth.
Global Outreach: My operational base in Florida serves as a springboard for global outreach. I work with clients and partners worldwide, promoting cross-cultural understanding and global connectivity.
