Wilson Thelimo Louis' biography

Updated: Aug 11, 2022


I was born in Anse Hainault, Grand Anse department, on July 3, 1986, and grew up in Ile-a-Vache and Les Cayes, south of Haiti. I am a poet and developed a passion for social activism and community voluntarism during my childhood. I have degrees in communication, Law, and legal sciences from the State University of Haiti, and I ran for congress in 2015. Due to my political affiliation, I was targeted for my propensity to speak out against youth mistreatment, inclusion, and social cohesion. Coming to the United States in August 2016, I gained the motivation I once had and want to educate myself better to benefit others. As a public servant and committed individual, I know that I am capable of reaching my goals. The most important thing is I have a great passion for education and believe that all is possible through it.


I am always eager to learn new skills. In addition to taking English classes at the Hyde Park Library in Boston, I earned a nursing assistant certification at K&K in Brocton to test my English understanding and then went on to study paralegal studies at Boston University. As part of my studies, I took filmmaking and video production certificate at the Community Supported Film (CSFilm) in Roxbury. I further my studies by obtaining a master's degree in Public Service at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service. I am a co-founder and the chairman of ITIAHaiti, a 501c3 literary, educational, and cultural organization operating in the United States and Haiti. Additionally, I own THELIMO Services, where I work as a Haitian Creole editor, English, and French translator, notary public, book publisher, etc.

I volunteered at Catholic Charities in Boston; Volunteering for the Development of Haiti; Alliance Française of Les Cayes; Haitian Red Cross; Health and Information Program (PSI-Haiti); UNICEF; and for the National Advocacy Organization for Individuals living with Handicap in Haiti. I am a founding member of the Haiti National Network of Young Volunteers (RNJV-Haiti); and the Executive Director of the Haiti Institute of Technical and Professional Training. In addition to these activities, I advocated for human rights with "l'Amicale des Juristes" and hosted radio and TV programs in Haiti and the US. I am a co-founder and the president of a political party called "KÒTAKÒT" (Stand together/ Side by Side).
