Then on
Monday September 2nd, 2013
we will be premiering our 2nd debut on Eastern Parkway for the West
Indian American Day Carnival where we will be presenting our

reveling in the Ancestral Spirit. We will be located at Rockaway Parkway
& Winthrop
Phoenix Refined brought the 1st Annual Haitian Masquerade Camp to New
York City for The West Indian American Day Carnival to rejuvenate the
numerous aspects of the Haitian Heritage by Teaching Culture through the
Art of Masquerading. Our purpose with the Haitian Masquerade Camp is to
use it as a platform to enlighten others about the rich legacy of Haiti
through Cultural Affairs like Live Events, Conferences, Fashion Shows,
Music, Art programs and more. This will therefore empower the Haitian
Community & Teach cultural empathy and awareness through out the
Caribbean Diaspora. Although the movement began in this manner it
doesn’t just end there “We’re more than just a Masquerade Camp; We’re
Haitian Cultural Ambassadors To The World!!!”
This Haitian Masquerade Camp was brought to life because of the lack
of Haitian Representation in the Caribbean Community. We are the missing
link to restoring our countries rich culture and history in New York
City. Phoenix Refined believes in giving back to the community and so
with that we are collaborating for our 2nd year with It Takes a
Community to Raise a Child, a nonprofit learning facility, which
addresses the students’, individual needs so that he or she may develop
physically, spiritually, intellectually, socially, and morally; ITAC
believes in educating the whole child. We play a role in the cultural
education of these children and in the near future we hope to branch out
further.
Since The creation of Phoenix Refined we have been blessed to work
with many non for profit organizations and expose others to the Haitian
Culture. We have worked with inner city Schools Like Mott Hall Bridges
Academy in conjunction with a group called Passport to the City
+NoMadness Travel Tribe, Capra Care, New York Cities Haitian Consulate,
Fabrice Armand’s Haiti Cherie Pride, Love & Commitment, The National
Haitian Student Alliance, C2C’s Hope & A Future Benefit Concert,
LaCaye Restaurant at BAMs Dance Africa Festival and Many More. Our
Vision & Our Goal Is To Produce Proud Haitians &
Haitian-Americans who are Proactive, Invovled & Aware Of Their Rich
Culture. With Phoenix Refined The Proof is in the Pudding come & see
for yourself.
With Phoenix Refined we are creating an environment where we bring
the camaraderie back into the Haitian Culture and the Caribbean Diaspora
as a whole.
Phoenix Refined Premiered Last Year As NYC's 1st Haitian Masquerade
Camp & This Month Makes It Makes A Year That We've Not Only
Displayed Our Haitian CULTURE On The Streets of BROOKLYN For The West
Indian American Day Carnival But We Have Also Been Blessed To Work With
The Kids, The Community, Our Elected Officials & Expose Countless
Amounts of People from All Over The WORLD To The HEART, The JOY &
The PRIDE of HAITIAN CULTURE!!! We Don't Just Sell Costumes for Kanaval
In NYC... We Create The CREOLE EXPERIENCE!!!
