🌹Whenda “Wanda” Tima

Stepping into Haitian Heritage Month with more than pride, we’re stepping in protected, solidified, and officially stamped. Five months ago, L’union Suite was granted its official trademark and today, we’re celebrating loudly. What started as a passion project has grown into one of the leading platforms for Haitian culture, excellence, and storytelling. From sharing our untold narratives to partnering with global brands, building community initiatives, and spotlighting Haitian brilliance worldwide, L’union Suite has become more than a brand. It’s a legacy. 🇭🇹 Trademarking this name wasn’t just paperwork, it was protection. Protection of a decade’s worth of vision, labor, and love. Protection of a platform that has opened doors, elevated voices, and changed how the world sees Haiti and Haitians. A huge thank you to the incredible @Ms__vp Esq. and her powerhouse firm @Svplawfirm , who led this process with unmatched precision, professionalism, and heart. Stacey, your excellence gave me peace through every step of this journey. If you’re building something meaningful, protect it, and let SVP help you do it right. To everyone who has supported L’union Suite along the way, this is a win for all of us. We did this for the culture. And we’re just getting started. Trademarked. Protected. Haitian-owned. 📸 @timelessvisionagency

Yesterday was an incredibly surreal experience! I’m still trying to wrap my head around “April 4th, 2024, has been officially declared Whenda Tima Day in Miami-Dade County.” The day started with extensive preparation and planning for a special initiative involving Fridayy and the students at MDCC. I was all set to host an entrepreneurial panel and surprise them with Fridayy when Professor Yanatha Desouvre presented me with a proclamation from the mayor’s office. I am profoundly thankful to God for continuing to use me as a vessel for positive change, to my unwavering support system for reminding me of my purpose, and to my supporters worldwide for their unwavering dedication to our cause and our country, regardless of the challenges we face. Your support means the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you who shows up for me every single day. Remember, never allow anyone to dictate your worth or stifle your gifts. That project, idea, business, or thing you contemplate starting daily could be the very thing the world is waiting for to create real change. Trust in your abilities and never underestimate the impact you can make. Thank you to @mayordlc @ogilbert3 @goodmanchronicles @ctheramene and MDCC!! 📸 @timelessvisionagency

Happy Haitian Flag Weekend and Haitian Heritage Month to all the incredible people who show up for our culture with pride, strength, and joy every single day! A huge thank you to Commissioner @krystalcpatterson and the @cityoftamarac for honoring me as the Haitian Heritage Month City of Tamarac Trailblazer Award recipient. 💐🥹🇭🇹 📸 @spexphotography

Happy Haitian Heritage Month!! 🥹🇭🇹 💐 These last couple of weeks back at work haven’t been the lightest. Sometimes I’m extremely anxious walking into rooms, trying to find that same pulse and energy I had six months ago. What I’m learning is it’s okay to find a new beat, lean on the right people, accept the help, the hugs, the kind words, and those quick prayers from the souls who’ve held me down so beautifully. Commissioner @krystalcpatterson , my history making Haitian sister, thank you for this beautiful surprise, for this beautiful event for our people, and for all your work. Raising a glass with you, proudly receiving your flowers, and being reminded of my purpose and importance right when I need it most is extremely special. Looking out at rooms full of our people proudly celebrating our work has been especially healing. From my team and me, we thank you and @cityoftamarac 🙌🏾🇭🇹❤️❤️ @luluorangeinc ❤️YouAlways!!

Caribbean tings a gwaan 🇯🇲🇹🇨🇭🇹 May 24th | @BestOfTheBest 🔥🔥

The Devil Wears Prada 2 x Own Your Runway but make it Miami style, a room full of women who understood the assignment without needing notes. 🌹🖤 Fashion x Beauty x effortless. The conversation was sharp, honest, and deliciously intimidating in the best way. Thankful for the opportunity to share gems that speak to my 14 years in this industry. Exceptional alignments. Standards that don’t shift. Presence that doesn’t soften. Energy that doesn’t ask for permission. Very Miranda Priestly. 😉 The original will always be my favorite, but Part Two delivered the most stunning looks and a storyline that felt so timely, that sharp dance between traditional media, digital, and social. 🙌🏾 Thank you for having me @getsocialmiami 🎬 📸 @timelessvisionagency #DevilWearsPrada #DevilWearsPrada2

I’m truly grateful to the New York Times and Adam Leventhal at The Athletic for featuring me in their story on Haiti’s World Cup journey. It was an honor to share my voice on what this moment means for our country and our people. Haiti is heading to our first World Cup in 52 years, with matches against Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland on the horizon. But while the team is living the dream, it’s a much tougher story for our fans. Haiti remains the only country in the Western Hemisphere whose supporters are banned from traveling to the United States, and for many Haitians already here, the future feels uncertain. Making it to the World Cup means everything to us right now. It’s a powerful symbol of hope, pride, and unity for Haitians everywhere. As the article highlighted, this moment feels especially heavy because today the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in the Trump administration’s effort to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, a decision that could upend the lives of more than 350,000 Haitians in this country. Thank you to the New York Times for shining a light on our community at this critical time. We keep moving forward. 🇭🇹

It was time to get back work, and I needed it to be more purposeful than before!! 🖤 On April 23rd, we birthed the inaugural @Legacycircle_ . It was a powerful, necessary evening filled with unflinching honesty and overdue conversations. Two vital dialogues our community has long needed. Thank you to every soul in the building who showed up and held sacred space with presence, courage, and openness. Your energy didn’t just fill the room, it shaped the night. A profound debt of gratitude to our distinguished panelists and moderators, who led with hard-earned wisdom, raw vulnerability, and unwavering clarity: Building Generational Wealth: Breaking Barriers & Creating Lasting Legacy @remytheceo @queenkathou @evansstfort & @jeffnoelspeaks , who moderated with precision! 💰 Domestic Violence: Breaking the Silence @drt_thepsychnp @supacindy @asa_esq , Officer Kevin Brun & Wilda Turenne and @drlatoyalewis who guided the conversation with compassion and strength. 💜 To my dedicated partners @cutiega @msjennx0 @jadorelegros @worldwidestudiospace who worked tirelessly behind the scenes,  none of this would have been possible without your commitment and heart. Thank you. We are also deeply grateful to our sponsors who believed in this vision from the beginning: @weekenddazeintl @lheritagerhum @legacyspreads @djtouch_haiti We faced difficult truths, shared practical wisdom, moved through heavy emotions, and left with clearer minds, fuller hearts, and renewed resolve. The work of building legacy, pursuing justice, and fostering collective healing is lifelong. But we are not walking alone and we shouldn’t have to. We will gather again soon. Follow @Lunionsuite x @LegacyCircle for the next date. Sincerely, from my heart, to yours 🇭🇹❤️ 📸 @worldwidestudiospace 📸 @unjadedmedia_

Obsessed!! @Legacytress , thank you for such an incredible experience! My Bora Bora Braids came out softer, sleeker, and more seamless than I imagined. Thank you for the amazing hair care education and genuine care, it truly made the whole experience special. Merci Cherie!! ☺️🙌🏾 #LegacyTress #BoraBoraBraids

During a difficult season, I stepped away from work to grieve, breathe, and reflect. In that quiet space, I found myself returning to the passion projects that have lived on my vision board for years. @LegacyCircle_ is one I’m finally ready to bring to life. I’ve wanted to create this space for years because our Haitian community desperately needs real rooms where we can speak truth about building wealth that outlives us, about the pain and silence we’ve carried for far too long, about protecting our families, and about the important issues that shape our future. On April 23rd, for our inaugural Legacy Circle, we’re hosting two honest and necessary conversations with powerful guest speakers who are already breaking barriers and creating success in their fields: ⚫️ Building Generational Wealth: Breaking Barriers and Creating Lasting Legacy, hearing from those who have done it, during Financial Literacy Month. ⚫️ Domestic Violence Doesn’t Discriminate, a courageous conversation on the alarming rise of femicide and domestic violence tearing through our community. We can no longer look away. I want to give deep thanks to my amazing and brilliant team, my partners who have already signed on and committed to this journey with me. Your belief and early support mean everything as we bring this vision to life. April 23, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM 7148 N University Drive, Tamarac, FL 33321 RSVP at Lunionlegacycircle.com Our community deserves spaces like this. Hope to see you in the circle. With renewed purpose for our people.

I still can’t believe this is real…Just last week, we were planning our coffee date, and now I’m having to say goodbye. 😔💔🙏🏾🕊️ You were always such a sweetheart, truly one of the best souls I’ve met and worked with. No matter what life threw at you, you stayed so positive and uplifting. Last week, we shared a long hug because it was the first time we’d seen each other since both going through devastating losses and grief. We finally talked about meeting up for that coffee so we could breathe through it all together… and now I have to say goodbye to you, too. It feels so deeply unfair and crushing. Rest in peace, sis. You didn’t deserve this at all. Your legacy, your light, your advocacy, and all the love you gave will never be forgotten. Thank you for being such an amazing person. Thank you for your service, your sisterhood, and the beautiful example you set for so many of us. You will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to your family!! @nancymetayerbowen 💔🙏🏾😔🕊️
