HOT 100 YOUNG HAITIANS – 2023 INTERVIEW 

Thank you for participating in this year’s summer contest, and congratulations for making it onto the magazine’s HOT 100 YOUNG HAITIANS 2023 list. 

Touching base for your interview, which is what the yearly contest is all about; to get to know what our young Haitians are up to and to promote their stories. 

To help our magazine write an article for you, please answer the questions below. When writing your answers, don’t worry about grammar, you can freestyle if you like. One of our writers will use the information you provide to develop a 500-word article.

And send up to 2 photos you would like us to use with your article. 

Please reply with the interview answers by next Monday, June 26th, 2023.

Thank you for participating and for all your efforts. 

NOTE:

1. If you made our HOT 100 list last year and received an interview, you don’t have to answer all the questions because some of the answers like your name, etc. will remain the same; just tell us what’s new and we’ll draw from your previous answers. And you can choose to answer only the questions you feel comfortable with and whose answers you’re willing to share. (Also, not all of your answers will make it into the article.)
2. You can see previous articles we published about last year’s contestants here:

3. Language:

You can respond in English or French or Creole, but the article will be published in English.
