What if you could have former Miss Haiti Sarodj Bertin as a bestie? What if? Could it be just a dream? Well, just for today, that dream can come to fruition. Here are her responses from a girl-to-girl talk I had with her.

Kreyolicious: I think when most people look at you, they see confidence and self-assuredness. Have you ever had moments of low self-esteem and self-doubt?
Sarodj Bertin: I believe we all have, because we are human and our feelings can always affect our state of mind. What I have manage is to control myself and not let that happen to me…choosing to be happy with what I have and what I get, even if it’s not what I wanted. This has been possible by [my] understanding that [when bad things happen, it’s] always for good, and [also] by acknowledging that the bad things happen so we can appreciate the good. I can say that I am very positive and I always look at a different angle in [every] situation or [every] case, because there is always something positive, and that is what I go for…“the positive side”.

Kreyolicious: If you could speak to the Sarodj from five years ago, what would you tell her?
Sarodj Bertin: I would tell her, that she should never hesitate. Time is a tool and we have to use it wisely. Sometimes we take more time than needed to make a decision, and that time will never come back. So, when you believe [in] something, just go for it. No hesitation. You know your path…just go, and do not ever stop…there is no limit.

Kreyolicious: When do you feel most beautiful?
Sarodj Bertin: When I get love from any child, I believe the purest love is a [child’s] love, because there are no conditions and no expectations. They see and feel real beauty, the beauty of the soul…so when [a child] shows me love that’s the moment when I am the most grateful and I feel the most beautiful.

Kreyolicious: Is there anything that you used to be terrible at, whether a skill or something else that you have improved on. What was it? How did you get better at it?
Sarodj Bertin: I was very impatient. the first steep to overcome that defect was to accept it. Then I started working on it, correcting myself every time I would notice I was being impatient. with a lot of practice and concentration, I can say I overcame it pretty well.

Kreyolicious: What books have you read lately that have had an impact on you?
Sarodj Bertin: Everything I read have an impact on me, because I learn from every book, script, letter or even email that I read…but I could say a book that I would recommend any time to anybody would be The Art Of Happiness by Dalai Lama And Howard C. Cutler.

10 Questions With Singer-Songwriter Mikaelle Cartright

Mikaelle Cartright has a voice that’s like tropical silk. The New York-born, singer-songwriter has a jazzy style that recalls the styles of singers like Anita Baker with a little hint of Shirley Bassey. How did she develop her jazzy style? What role do her parents play in her support system as a singer-songwriter? Read on to find out. Kreyolicious: Your name is Mikaelle, no doubt stemming from the name Michael, which means Who Can Be Like God ? What is the most extraordinary thing that’s happened to your life that has had you saying the same phrase? Mikaelle Cartright: Correct, my name means “Who is like God”. My existence causes me to ask that constantly. My birth was a miracle. My mother almost lost me. She was placed on bed rest somewhere around the fourth month. The muscles of her uterus were giving out and the doctor said I was going to just fall out. The medication, some hormone treatment, was barely available and when Baby Doc fell, it was chaos. My mother was, thank God, ...

Haiti’s First Lady of Rap, and Hip Hop Kreyol?

Eunide Edouarin—the Haiti-based rapper more popularly known as Princess Eud —doesn’t like to do interviews. “When I’m being interviewed,” the raptress contends, “I have so many things going on my head at the same time that I sometimes answer questions they never asked me, and I’m kinda shy.” Yet shyness is a quality that very few would identity with Edouarin. Take a performance for example in which the self-described homebody held her own alongside CaRiMi , one of the most popular Haitian pop bands on the market, during one of her first big performances in New York. Slithering sexily onstage, the singer-rapper rapped effortlessly on the band’s hit “Fanm Nan Move”, before dissolving into a verse of her own song “Hey” . It’s utter confidence and bravado that shines through; no signs of timidity. Edouarin is a self-proclaimed traditional girl, but her start in the Haitian rap music game was far from conventional. While hanging at a local radio station in Port-au-Prince, she was invite...

Kreyolicious Interview: Mia Lopez, Publicist/Entrepreneur

Mia Lopez is the CEO and President of M.I.A. Media, Inc, a public relations firm based in Miami that caters to the Haitian entertainment industry. Lopez is a low-key person, but among her peers and industry insiders, her work doesn’t go unnoticed. Of her, Patrick Desvarieux, the founder of Kompa Magazine, said: “She is a natural. A people’s person. One of the best at what she does. A master of her craft.” Nick Jean of KalePwa.com calls her a pioneer. “She helped take the Haitian Community into modern times [in terms of her public relations work],” he contends. After being in the mainstream music industry, singer-songwriter Mickael Music wanted to enter the Haitian music market with her Bel Project, but wanted to go about it the right way. She recalls, “I asked around, ‘Who is the best PR marketing person in the Haitian music industry’? For the people that even knew what that meant all said, “Mia Lopez”, as if she [had] created the title in the Haitian music industry. When I say “ev...
