We are deeply saddened by the passing of Michèle Voltaire Marcelin — a visionary artist, poet, actress, and cherished member of our community.

An esteemed 1804 List inductee, Michèle’s work reflected the depth, beauty, and complexity of Haitian culture and identity. Through her creativity, intellect, and presence, she inspired generations and helped expand the global appreciation of Haitian artistry and storytelling.

Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the art she created, and the cultural path she helped shape.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, loved ones, and all those mourning this tremendous loss.

May she rest in power and eternal peace. 🕊️🇭🇹
