Today's Bel Kreyol of the day, is Sophia Raqeaul Clerius.   



The Haitian beauty was born in L’artibonite Verrettes. but migrated to the U.S in her early teens.  She grew up in West Virginia, but moved to Florida to pursue her modeling career.    





Clerius flashed on our radar when she appeared alongside supermodel Adriana Lima in the Donna Karan Spring 2012 campaign video.  She's also worked for Khol’s, Walmart, Essence Magazine (Oct. 2011), Seventeen Magazine (Oct. 2011, July 2011, June/July 2010), JC Penney Salon, Target and many other magazines and circulations. 





This lady is definitely on the climb up, and we'll be watching!

Wilnor Tereau was born and raised in Haiti.  Starting from very humble beginnings, in a small shack with his grandmother in Coix-des-bouquets and Cite Soleil, he eventually ended up moving to Boston, Massachusetts.  Life in the states was also very difficult, Wilnor was teased a lot for his dark skin.  All grown up, and definitely nothing to laugh at, Wilnor is now a model in high demand as well as helping the children of Haiti with his philanthropy works.
