Ralph R. Richardson, CEO
Breaking that Haitian curse that we cannot work together is my priority...
Born and raised in Haiti, Ralph Richardson carries a deep connection to his heritage and culture. His journey began in 1995 when he developed a passion for the food industry, inspired by his grandparents and parents who instilled in him a love for traditional Haitian flavors and values. Over two decades ago, Ralph moved to the United States, bringing with him a commitment to honor and celebrate his roots.
Recognizing the need to unite Haitians worldwide, Ralph turned his vision into reality by founding Pwodwi Lakay. This innovative initiative serves as a platform to connect and empower Haitian-owned businesses across Haiti, the USA, Canada, and beyond.
Pwodwi Lakay's mission is to strengthen the bonds of the Haitian community by promoting collaboration in various industries, including food, souvenirs, arts, crafts, and professional services. From showcasing authentic Haitian products to supporting entrepreneurs, the organization is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the vibrant and resilient spirit of Haitian culture.
Through Pwodwi Lakay, Ralph Richardson continues to inspire a global movement of cultural pride, ensuring that the rich heritage of Haiti thrives in the hearts and minds of Haitians everywhere.
