WELCOME TO NAN LAKOU!!!

Hi,

My name is Isis. I’m a communications professional with a background in Organizational Communications Studies.

My passion for this work comes from my own story. My parents divorced when I was six. This event shaped the way I viewed family. It also affected my sense of connection and emotional well-being. Over time, I realized how deeply childhood experiences impact who we become as adults.

That’s why I created Nan Lakou. It is a safe space inspired by the Haitian concept of the lakou. In this space, community gathers, stories are shared, and healing begins. Through this blog, I aim to raise awareness about childhood trauma. I also strive to promote self-acceptance. My goal is to support the journey of healing for individuals and families.

Welcome to my little corner of the world, welcome to Nan Lakou.
