In a town struck by insecurity and economic problems, where survival becomes a daily struggle, some refuse to give in to chaos. In Carrefour, a city plunged into the spiral of violence that eats away at all signs of life, Pierry Denejour embodies this spirit of resistance.
Aged around thirty, the native of Port-au-Prince is not only a merchant. The only son of Evena Denejour a "Marijàn" whose name he proudly bears , the entrepreneur has transformed his love for art into a passion that lights up his life. A collector of paintings on canvas, he is also the founder of DEP-ARTS Production Multi-Services, a company he launched on December 2, 2018, which is now celebrating six years of active presence in the Carrefour community.
Specializing in the sale of electronic equipment, MonCash and NatCash services among others, DEP-ARTS has built a solid reputation in six years. But beyond its commercial activities, it is through its ability to establish relationships of trust and support community initiatives that Pierry has established itself as a key player in its community. Under his leadership, DEP-ARTS is much more than a company: it is a symbol of hope in a town in search of renewal.

As a child, Pierry was already immersed in the world of commerce. His mother, a fighter and entrepreneur at heart, ran a small shop. "I grew up in an atmosphere of buying and reselling, and even when I was young, I bought toys to resell to other children," he remembers. However, it was only at university, where he studied accounting, that he truly discovered the concept of entrepreneurship and decided to make it his path.
Pierry started his business with modest means. The means we have at our disposal, as they say in Haiti. "I rented a space for my business, and on the first day, I only earned 25 gourdes for the whole day," he says. Added to this was the difficulty of raising funds. He remembers a cousin who lent him money, only to ask him to repay it in a hurry. These experiences shaped his character and strengthened his determination to succeed.
What sets DEP-ARTS apart from other companies is the close relationship that Pierry maintains with its customers. “We prioritize proximity and trust with our customers,” he explains. The company does not limit itself to its commercial activity: it also supports community initiatives such as artistic evenings and sports competitions. DEP-ARTS even founded its own football team, DEP-ARTS FC, a symbol of its commitment to the youth of Carrefour.
The CEO of DEP-ARTS does not intend to stop there. In five to ten years, he aims to expand his services and open several branches in other locations. "I want to offer more job opportunities to young people," he says with conviction.
For the entrepreneur, success is based above all on the ability to start, even with limited means. "The best way to start is with what you have. The ideal time is now. Take the first step, and the resources will come along the way," he advises those who dream of starting their own business.
Despite the demands of work, the lover of painting on canvas, strives to maintain a balance between his professional and personal life. A kizomba dancer in his spare time, he finds in this activity an escape from stress. He also devotes time to his partner during movie or pizza nights, simple but precious moments.
If Pierry has become the entrepreneur he is today, it is largely thanks to the example of his mother. "She was my role model and my greatest source of motivation," he confides with emotion. His determination to overcome obstacles, whether economic or personal, is a living tribute to the legacy she left him.
In a town that is struggling to recover and where entrepreneurship is a major challenge, Pierry Denejour embodies hope and determination. With DEP-ARTS, the committed entrepreneur does not just build a business, he builds a bridge between his dream and the needs of his community. And that’s just the beginning!

The Guédés Festival is a significant event in the Haitian Vodou religion. It takes place every November 1st and 2nd in Haiti, and it is dedicated to paying homage to the dead. Here are some elements to better understand this celebration: Meaning of Guedes: Guédés are spirits of death in the voodoo pantheon. They symbolize the transition between life and the afterlife. Different names are attributed to these spirits: Papa Guédé, Guédé Nibo, Guédé Masaka, Guédé fouillé, Guédé plumage. In the Voodoo concept, the Guédés maintain a harmonious relationship with the dead. Ritual of the Feast of the Gedes: Vodouists clean the graves and bring flowers to honor the memory of the deceased. They dance and sing to the rhythm of vodou and rara music. Vèvè (sacred symbols) are drawn to invoke the spirits. The color black, symbol of mourning, marks the beginning of life in the voodoo world. Purple mauve evokes transformation, and white symbolizes purity. Relationship with Protestants and Christians: Some Protestants reject the Feast of Geeds and organize days of prayer to chase away “evil spirits”. Christians do not pray for their dead, because their faith teaches them that the deceased are welcomed by the Lord. In short, the Guédés festival is a crucial moment for Vodouists, marking the temporary return of spirits to the world of Vodou. It shows respect for the dead and is an integral part of Haitian culture.

Haiti, the pearl of the Antilles, is a Caribbean island with a rich and complex history. However, its special status as the world’s first free black nation gives it a unique place in the annals of history. This small island was the scene of an extraordinary revolution which resulted in independence, thus marking the beginning of a new era for the black community and the abolition of slavery. Let’s delve into the captivating story of the birth of the first black republic, Haiti. b~The colonial era and slavery~b Haiti’s history dates back to the arrival of Europeans in the 15th century, when Christopher Columbus discovered the island. European settlers, mainly Spanish and French, introduced slavery to exploit the island’s resources, including sugar, coffee and cotton. The indigenous Native American population was decimated, paving the way for the massive importation of African slaves. b~The Haitian Revolution~b On August 14, 1791, Haitian slaves rose up against their oppressors, sparking the Haitian Revolution. Under the leadership of iconic figures such as Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe, the insurgent slaves inflicted defeats on European armies, demonstrating fierce resistance and a desperate quest for freedom. b~The Declaration of Independence and the creation of the Republic of Haiti~b On January 1, 1804, Haïti proclaimed its independence, becoming the world’s first free black nation. This historic declaration symbolized the end of slavery and the triumph of the will of a people determined to live free. The Republic of Haïti was born in struggle and blood, asserting its autonomy in the face of the colonial powers. b~Post-independence challenges~b However, independence did not mean the end of challenges for Haiti. The country had to face external pressure, reparations imposed by France in exchange for recognition of its independence, as well as internal unrest. Despite these obstacles, Haïti strove to build a free and sovereign nation. The story of Haïti is that of a nation that overcame countless challenges to emerge as a pioneer of freedom for the black population. The Haitian Revolution remains a unique example of resistance, courage and determination, and Haïti continues to carry the torch of independence in the contemporary world. The legacy of this small Caribbean island still resonates today, reminding the world that freedom is a universal right that can be won even in the most difficult circumstances.
