In a context in which U.S. immigration policy is becoming increasingly restrictive and uncertainty continues to grow for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries, Farah Larrieux stands out as an essential voice in the defense of Haitian migrants. She settled in the United States in the early 2000s, has been actively involved in the Haitian community and regularly assists Haitian migrants facing difficulties in the country. Yet nothing foreshadowed this genuine career as an activist for someone who first became known as a media personality.

Indeed, Farah Larrieux’s career began behind the camera. In 1997, she started working as a presenter at Télémax. The woman who would become a prominent figure in Haitian television also worked with Radio Vision 2000. At the time, she already considered herself a professional who “enjoyed certain privileges.”
