FePouLi has been dedicated to creating workshops that embody life skills that help empower the youth through practical conflict resolution strategies using poetry, visual arts such as photography and film. Poetic Lakay has been a very popular monthly event which takes place at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex giving local poets a platform.
Children's Hope Chest of Dreams dba FePouLi is a 501(C)3 organization dedicated in changing the lives of young people throughout the South Florida region by using the arts as a springboard for transformation in the classroom and the community at large. Founded in 1995 by Haitian American Ambassador and Artist Patrick "Mecca aka Grimo" Marcelin and Jean H Marcelin, the duo has created Culturally based mentorship programs that target Black and Latin youth in underprivileged communities. Using their Haitian Heritage as a platform to promote pride and their mission as Black male educators to create culturally driven programming to those they serve. With Filmmaker Rachelle Salnave on board, FePouLi's mission now includes cinematic experiences for the youth and their entire family.
