The 2021 Haitian migration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border stirred many emotions and became a reminder of the unequal treatment of Black migrants by the United States government. In addition, the United States has not had a positive track record in Haiti and has often supported leaders that are the target of antigovernmental protests or not supporting those embraced by the population. In this episode, Alexanderia Haidara sits down with Senior Reporter for the Miami Herald, Jacqueline Charles, to discuss how the history of U.S.-Haitian relations has impacted the current political and security crisis plaguing the country. We discuss the outcome of the investigation of U.S. Border Patrol agents riding on horseback whipping Haitian back across the Rio Grande River. Given the focus of President Biden on immigration, how are his policies being received by those advocates promoting fair treatment of migrants from Haiti and African nations? How will President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau work together to address political insecurity, the rise of gang violence, and kidnappings? What is the role of the Haitian Diaspora in America to influence U.S. policy and local politics? We also reflected on the impact of the January 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on other democracies in Latin America. Please write a review! About Jacqueline Charles, Jacqueline Charles is a Pulitzer Prize finalist and Emmy Award-winning Caribbean correspondent at the Miami Herald. She began her journalism career at the Herald as a 14-year-old high school intern before graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where she was later honored for her contributions to the field of journalism as a 2022 inductee into the NC Media & Journalism Hall of Fame. Charles' assignments have taken her throughout the Caribbean as well as Liberia, Kenya, Italy, and in recent years, Mexico, Canada, and Chile to report on the plight of Haitian migrants. She is a founding member of the Carolina Association of Black Journalists, a college-affiliated chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). She is also a past president and scholarship chairwoman of the South Florida Black Journalists Association and a longtime assistant director of the University of Miami/Dow Jones High School Journalism Workshop. The first to tell the world that then-Haitian President René Préval had survived the devastating January 12, 2010, earthquake, she spent 18 months living in Haiti as part of the Miami Herald's commitment to have a journalist stationed full time after the tragedy. Charles served as co-producer on the Emmy-winning documentary on Haiti, Nou Bouke (We are Fed Up), which was broadcast in more than 50 PBS markets in the United States. Her numerous other awards include NABJ Journalist of the Year for her Haiti earthquake coverage, and she was a 2011 Pulitzer Prize finalist for that same coverage. She was also recognized for her contributions to the Miami Herald's Panama Papers investigation, which was awarded a 2017 Pulitzer Prize. In 2018, she won the Maria Moors Cabot Award, the oldest prize in journalism and the most prestigious for coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean. Her 2018 Pulitzer Center-supported reporting series, Cancer in Haiti, was the recipient of numerous awards, including the The AACR June L. Biedler Prize for Cancer Journalism. Charles is a longtime member of NABJ and currently serves as a member of UNC's Hussman School of Journalism and Media's Board of Advisers. In 2015 she was recognized by UNC as a Distinguished Alumni.

Where the buyer pays additional discount points or makes a substantial down payment in return for a below market interest rate; or the seller offers 3-2-1 interest payment plans or pays closing costs such as the origination fee. During times of high interest rates, buy-downs may induce buyers to purchase property they may not otherwise have purchased.

You want to have plenty of time to resolve any problems.What to do nowFind a home inspectorChoose an inspector with a reputation for being honest and thorough. You want someone who will give you a complete and honest assessment of the physical condition of the home.Ask friends or family in your area to see if they have an inspector to recommend. Ask what about their experience, specifically, leads them to recommend the inspector.You can also look for inspectors online. Check reviews from other buyers.Schedule an independent inspection for the home as soon as possibleYou want to know as soon as possible if there are any major problems with the home so you can decide whether or not you still want to buy the home. Also, if additional inspections are needed, you'll want to have plenty of time to get them completed.What to knowYou should choose the home inspector yourself and plan to pay the inspector directly at the time of serviceYou want an independent home inspector who is accountable to you and will give you a complete inspection and an honest opinion. If the home inspector is being paid by someone else or not paid until closing, the inspector might underemphasize any problems with the home.You may be able to negotiate with the seller or cancel the sale based on the inspectionIf repairs are needed, you may want to negotiate with the seller about who should make or pay for the repairs. Depending on the terms of your purchase contract and local market conditions, the seller may or may not agree to pay for the repairs.

Before choosing an inspector, ask for references from prior customers and look up the inspector with your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and any state or county licensing authority.

Rapò dèt-a-revni ou se tout peman dèt ou chak mwa divize pa revni mansyèl brit ou. Nimewo sa a se youn nan fason pretè yo mezire kapasite w pou jere peman mansyèl yo pou remèt lajan w planifye pou w prete a.Pou kalkile rapò dèt-a-revni ou, ou ajoute tout peman dèt ou chak mwa epi divize yo pa revni mansyèl brit ou. Revni brit ou pa mwa se jeneralman kantite lajan ou te touche anvan taks ou ak lòt dediksyon yo te retire. Pa egzanp, si w peye $1500 pa mwa pou ipotèk ou ak yon lòt $100 pa mwa pou yon prè oto ak $400 pa mwa pou rès dèt ou yo, peman dèt ou yo se $2,000. ($1500 + $100 + $400 = $2,000.) Si revni mansyèl brit ou se $6,000, lè sa a, rapò dèt-a-revni ou se 33 pousan. ($2,000 se 33% de $6,000.)Prèv ki soti nan etid sou prè ipotèk yo sijere ke prete ki gen yon pi gwo rapò dèt-a-revni yo gen plis chans jwenn nan pwoblèm pou fè peman chak mwa. Rapò dèt-a-revni 43 pousan enpòtan paske, nan pifò ka yo, se rapò ki pi wo a yon prete lajan ka genyen epi li toujou jwenn yon ipotèk ki kalifye.Gen kèk eksepsyon. Pou egzanp, yon ti kreyansye dwe konsidere rapò dèt-a-revni ou, men li gen dwa ofri yon ipotèk kalifye ak yon rapò dèt-a-revni ki pi wo pase 43 pousan. Nan pifò ka kreditè w la se yon ti kreyansye si li te gen mwens pase 2 milya dola nan byen nan dènye ane a epi li te fè pa plis pase 500 ipotèk nan ane anvan an.Pi gwo pretè yo ka toujou fè yon prè ipotèk si rapò dèt-a-revni ou plis pase 43 pousan, menm si sa anpeche li pa yon ipotèk ki kalifye. Men, yo pral oblije fè yon efò rezonab ak bon lafwa, swiv règleman CFPB a, pou detèmine ke ou gen kapasite pou remèt prè a.Your debt-to-income ratio is all your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. This number is one way lenders measure your ability to manage the monthly payments to repay the money you plan to borrow.To calculate your debt-to-income ratio, you add up all your monthly debt payments and divide them by your gross monthly income. Your gross monthly income is generally the amount of money you have earned before your taxes and other deductions are taken out.  For example, if you pay $1500 a month for your mortgage and another $100 a month for an auto loan and $400 a month for the rest of your debts, your monthly debt payments are $2,000. ($1500 + $100 + $400 = $2,000.) If your gross monthly income is $6,000, then your debt-to-income ratio is 33 percent. ($2,000 is 33% of $6,000.)Evidence from studies of mortgage loans suggest that borrowers with a higher debt-to-income ratio are more likely to run into trouble making monthly payments. The 43 percent debt-to-income ratio is important because, in most cases, that is the highest ratio a borrower can have and still get a Qualified Mortgage.There are some exceptions. For instance, a small creditor must consider your debt-to-income ratio, but is allowed to offer a Qualified Mortgage with a debt-to-income ratio higher than 43 percent. In most cases your lender is a small creditor if it had under $2 billion in assets in the last year and it made no more than 500 mortgages in the previous year.Larger lenders may still make a mortgage loan if your debt-to-income ratio is more than 43 percent, even if this prevents it from being a Qualified Mortgage. But they will have to make a reasonable, good-faith effort, following the CFPB's rules, to determine that you have the ability to repay the loan.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is moving to expand its COVID-19 loss mitigation “waterfall” by introducing a 40-year loan modification option and is asking the mortgage industry for input.The proposed rule, published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development late last week, would change repayment provisions for FHA borrowers, allowing lenders to recast a borrower's total unpaid loan for an additional 120 months. HUD said that this option could prevent “several thousand borrowers a year from foreclosure.”By prolonging the length of the recast mortgage from 360 months to 480 months, borrowers will have more sustainable monthly payments, the department said. The proposed rule noted that a lower monthly payment will help bring a borrower's mortgage current, prevent imminent re-default, and of course, help borrowers retain their home.The proposed rule will specifically be beneficial for FHA borrowers who recently exited government-mandated forbearance but are struggling to make their mortgage payments because of COVID-19 related financial hardships.Alongside of benefitting borrowers, the rule would also reduce losses to FHA's Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund as fewer properties would be sold at a loss in foreclosure or out of FHA's real estate owned inventory, HUD said.A recent report published by the FHA revealed that as of December 2021, 7.28% of FHA loans were seriously delinquent, down from a seasonally adjusted high of 12.04% in March 2021. However, the rate is still elevated compared to pre-pandemic times.

Population of Haiti: ~11.5 million Number of Haitians living abroad: between 2 and 3 million Known as the 'Haitian Diaspora', around 20% of Haitians have migrated ... outside of Haiti, to the likes of the US, the Dominican Republic, Canada, and throughout South America. And unfortunately, it's quite understandable. Plagued for centuries by foreign intervention, devestating natural disasters, and political corruption, Haiti has become ... the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. But there's one Haitian entrepreneur, Jude Celiscar, fighting tirelessly to engage the Haitian Diaspora to reconnect with their homeland...to interact with and invest in the country they love: Haiti. A pivot from a 'drop and ship' model sending goods from the US to Haiti now has Goodoo delivering groceries and farmed goods directly from Haitian farmers to Haitian consumers. And Goodoo's biggest client? The Haitian Diaspora...buying fresh Haitian produce from abroad for their families back home. But with over a decade of trials, such as the 2010 Haitian Earthquake that killed over 200,000 Haitians and displaced over 5 million, to the recent assassination of the Haitian President, it's made entrepreneurship in Haiti all the more difficult and Jude's story all the more...unbelievable.

How does the turmoil affect US policy toward the region? Given the large Cuban and Haitian Diaspora communities in the United States, how does the Biden Administration deal with both domestic and international dimension of policy?

Banker White, Black Nature, Saturday, November 5, 2:00 pm, SF Film Society | New People Cinema on Post Street in SF.  When San Francisco-based filmmaker Banker White made Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars (2005), a documentary about six musicians who form a band while living in a refugee camp in Guinea, he made the extraordinary decision to try to help others in Freetown by developing a collaborative media project with other Sierra Leoneans. This program will present a series of the considerable array of styles, such as newscasts, art films and traditional tales now being produced by WeOwnTV in Sierra Leone. On Fete Gede, the night of Festival of the Ancestors (Haitian Day of the Dead), we will gather to honor those who passed in the earthquake and all celebrate the resilience, survival and self-determination of our Haitian family. An inspiring array of artists from coast to coast with bloodlines in the Haitian Diaspora across the globe are coming together to being a powerful offering to Spirit, and to support the collaborative healing work Ayiti Ressurect is engaged in Leogane, Comier, Haiti. Get over any hesitation about going to Richmond on Sunday night, to this post-industrial temple filled with magical sculptures and creative sanctuary. We will be drunk on the synergy of poetry choreographed to movement, medicine distilled from song, music carved from the hollow spaces transformation creates in our lives.
