@user-do6kh7ob9waww sending you so much love! God bless you and bring you immense joy! Peace overflowing and endless love ♥️🥺♥️
God bless you girl
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Karine sorry about your mom passing, I know she’s smiling down on you ❤❤
😢 yeah I’m sorry, Karine your mom seems amazing 😞 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Poverty is low vibrational no matter where it is. It’s literal spiritual warfare. It’s something that I had to overcome but thank God he gave me the sight to see
Its unbelievable to me seeing a girl looking like a princess and thinking that her life was hellish at times.I hope you get the best part of your life 💗 also rock bottom is when the deep healing happens so it is not as embarrassing in someone's story
Thank you so much! And amen to the last part ❤❤
So heartbreaking knowing that Haiti was the first country founded by escaped slaves. It was, at one point, a literal haven for black people that even the French couldn’t beat! The disasters, poverty and gang violence is so sad - on a side note your journey is so inspiring 🙌🏽♥️
and if those escaped slaves went back to their home land (africa) i believe they will be better off its 224 years of independence and no progress as a country
Praising God and acting is the formula. Move forward. The past is the past. I don't let it be your excuse
I love the fact that you acknowledge God in all you do
When you are determined the Lord will make a way
I loved hearing this story. I’m about your age, hispanic (Cuban/Venezuelan) from FL and grew up with Haitian kids around me. Basically all Caribbean kids - Jamaican, Haitian, etc. It’s where I learned how different each country/island was from each other. Kind of like how a Puerto Rican will wince if you confuse them with a Cuban 😂 as a fellow daughter of immigrants I felt that, when you said how moving to the US it doesn’t matter what your profession was back home - you start from the ground up. I saw that firsthand in my own family. Engineers, doctors, professors, etc coming here and working as janitors for their first jobs. That’s why education ends up getting sooo drilled into us! Our parents saw it as the ticket to get the next generation back on their feet again, no matter what new country they found themselves in. And omgsh yess I remember that little scholastic competition 😂😂😂 girl my little nerdy self was all up in that too!
Anyway, I will always feel a lot of love for my Caribbean brothers and sisters. Even if we are different races there’s something about Caribbean culture that oddly unites us. Especially the spirituality - sadly I saw a lot of voodoo/santería growing up, too. But people from the islands are some of the most hardworking, traditional, and Christ-loving I have ever seen. I still feel the tenderness in my heart to this day when I meet another Caribbean - and I live in the US South now, so they are much harder to find. I was in Walmart recently talking in Spanish to my grandmother and a Jamaican overheard us and got so happy listening to us, he stopped to ask us where we were from 😂
I can relate so much Karine. Came to the US from Africa in the early 2000s and yes it wasn’t cool to be African then. It is now with Black Panther, Afro beats etc
Also about the food, I did work in Disney for a while and had a lot of Haitian coworkers. Never saw them buy food at work. They always brought their own lunch. I’m only 10 mins in but thanks for sharing and the consistency, always look forward to your videos.
I completely understand because we had a couple Congolese & Nigerian students in my schools and they got bullied right along with the Haitians. It’s a miracle we all made it. And yes Haitians love to eat their own food lol I know your coworkers had the lunchroom smelling like strong spices 😂
@@karinealourdementalgems yes my high school had a lot of Liberians and Sierra Leoneans and they always got into fights because people wouldn’t leave them alone.
Yes the Haitians has the lunch room smelling of strong spices lol but they would share with me and it’s not much different from some West African dishes.
I really want you to know that this came right on time. Literally 10 min I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I needed this reminder ❤
🙌🏽🙌🏽 God definitely wanted to remind you ❤
Yes, perfect timing. 😊🥰
Literally!!! Thank you so much for allowing the Lord to use you ❤
Thank you for this @ 4 a.m when I am woken up by a depressed era 🎉 praise God!!!❤
Praise God!!! ♥️♥️
You need over 100K views for this mental gem of a video!!! Thank you Karine❤
I was backwards with WHY ME , mine was WHY NOT ME ,WHO AM I ,NOBODY SPECIAL is how I moved around in life so when I came across those WHY ME type people didn’t upset me but more of who the hell is you princess Diana even she goes thru stuff and just accepted what was and made it a normal that stuff I did go thru that nobody shouldn’t of that when I was blessed I FELT BLESSED ❤
what a beautiful testimony❤❤thank you for sharing as a Haitian woman i'm so proud of YOU ❤
It was all for a greater purpose… one day you will be speaking to bigger crowd and your story will bring peace and comfort to someone else.❤
God bless you. You're an INSPIRATION, Karine. ❤❤❤❤❤
God bless you! Thank you for always supporting ❤❤❤
🤍🔥You are brave, wise, and tenacious in telling your story. 💐👑
Thank you, I needed this. Because being below zero can be really hard to get up and try again. When you say the past is the past, I started crying because it's hard for me to get over mum's death in 2022..
You are a blessing,thank you so much for all your content.....blessings to you from Mexico !
You are so welcome ♥️🇲🇽
I’m always looking forward to your videos even more grateful for sharing your testimony about your life and faith. You’re such a good mentor and an inspiration.
All glory to God! Thank you so much for watching ❤❤
You are such a beautiful woman, and an inspiration to me. ❤
🤍🔥 Girly this was so good! At times I’ve gotten discouraged and that discouragement put me behind my goals but I’m still pressing forward!! The Joy of the Lord Yahuah is my strength 🫶🏽
Just found your channel.
I appreciate your sincerity.
Thank you for sharing 🤍🔥
I’m sooo THANKFUL for GOD for you today. You have no idea how much this beautiful and vulnerable of your sharing today.
Please do more on these topics bc THE DEEP is bringing more humbling love to open more in my heart for myself, others, and just giving another perspective to HEAR to walk more in righteousness
I’m white and come from a poor white family in a ghetto country side in America . To be with Jesus he lifts us out of the flesh and places us in the spirit to not see the physical of places and people. There is no skin color in the spirit. There is good and evil in the physical places. I’m so beyond grateful for Jesus coming for me.
I too was placed in a masculine role because of such low vibration and ignorance in these poor communities/ towns / cities bc Jesus was not there FULLY upon the elders as children.
So I was placed in masculinity to SURVIVE that jungle of confusion and in a community that I looked like but did not operate or behave as them. So many truths in this video and personally hit my spirit of so many confirmations .
I also lost a parent (my father) and I have a mother that walks carnal and in a lot denial of our history and so much toxic generational bondage .
Thank you Karine for bringing so many together here on your channel and for standing in THE LORDS STRENGTH when the world wants you to remain fearful and mute. I’m soo grateful you are SPEAKING and using your VOICE of your amazing walk of testimony (even down to no electricity) I was also in a similar situation and Jesus walked w me and walked together out of there. You gave me so much inspiration today to use what I have bc i do have talents and in Jesus Strength and his will I will keep taking more action . Bless you Karine
Ps.
🤍🔥
Karine thank you for being this vulnerable in your platform it demonstrates how brave, strong, humble (in the best way) and healed you are. I went through difficult times too not ghetto area but very middle class I felt bad my entire life because me and my family weren’t upper class. I went to just a regular school and regular university nothing special like going to university in a whole different county or state or the best school because we could not afford it. My family have been working blue collar jobs their whole lives. Now I’m a teacher going to law school in a whole different state paying my own school working remotely, have 2 rental properties and excellent credit. My whole family moved to the upper class suburbs now I understand that it was timing now I’m practicing being more patient and grateful.
Wow the Lord is using you to speak to me. Thank your Karine ❤ crazy’s a month to two ago I had a revelation about depression he said depress makes you self centered me me me why me and I was like that for a very long time but Glory to God he take me out of that. I make a lot of excuses for a lot of stuff because I’m scared. Scared to make the wrong choices. Thank you God bless you ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I am first born American. 100 % Garifuna. Your channel is one of my favorites.
I love Haitians and a I feel in love with a Haitian man in graduate school my late 20's. He broke my heart, but I feel for him due to similar cultures.
Haitians are proud of their culture, intelligent, well educated, creative and strong.
I love and adore Haitian 🎵 music and food.
Keep up the good work Karine Alourde with your channel ❤.
Sorry for your loss with your Mommy.
You looked so beautiful with your Hatian Day blue photo.
Thank you Karine for your obedience and being a vessel for The Most High!🙏🏽 I have been more grateful lately but this reminded me to be even more grateful. All things work together for those who love him. I don’t wanna be anyone other than myself. Glory to God.✨ 🙌🏽 I look forward to visiting your beautiful home country one day. There’s some lore in my family that one of our ancestors immigrated from Haiti to America. If that’s true I pray that evidence comes to light. I’ve always been intrigued by Haiti, maybe that’s why. 🤍
You are such a blessing sis! I know it’s not easy to be vulnerable, but thank you so much for pouring your heart out! I admire you so much! Beautiful testimony, glory to God 😊❤
Thank you so much Ciera! God bless you ❤❤
Im leaving a comment for the algorith. Im gonna watch this later cus i need to go to bed. I love your channels. And im looking forward to see your perspective on Haiti.
This was lovely video. Thank you for sharing your story. Coming to America is a whole experience as a Haitian child I can imagine not having a mom close. Similarly, I came at 5yrs to NJ and did not have access to my mom for a while and was forced to live with my father and his family I had never known. Now that I live in Palm Beach I am hearing the tough transition it was for the Floridian Haitian. I’m 41 and it’s now I’m life damn childhood trauma creep up. Im happy to see you decided to grow and heal from these experiences. Keep tackling it now. Hearing and sharing one’s healing can only help another. I created a Facebook group for Haitians Women called Haitian Millennials Healing just for like-minded Haitian women to share resources, experiences and support others as they heal from all that came with coming to America at a young age. No members yet as I want to just post resources and content on it for now. I would love to tag/share this video on that group page if that’s ok.
I wasn’t gonna comment anything but this just mirrors so much of my life that I couldn’t ignore it. I just want to say thank you. God bless you
It’s so unfortunate that u went through that, my parents are immigrants from Mexico and came to the us in the 80s and 90s, my mom came on my sisters visa/ passport when it was still easy to cross the border 😭😩 my dad came in the 90s and they worked a lot of jobs & I am so grateful for that❤ I am a Mexican American 🇲🇽🇺🇸 so I will never know what they went through bc I was born & raised here 🇺🇸
No your just a American Latina not Mexican you not from Mexico your parents are Mexican
You have an amazing story & I applaud all that you’ve overcome & accomplished. Definitely would love to hear more stories about Haitian culture & history!
Thank you so much! And I will work on some more ❤❤
You're just like the beautiful, strong, resilient flowers you speak about in your videos. Thank you for your videos and sharing with me.
Dear Karine, the Lord has done wonders in your life ❤ What a testimony of redemption!
May God perfects his work in you.
This was right on time. Thank you for letting the Lord use you.
Your make-up is so flawless. I love this video of you and what you endured up to now and feel very touched and proud of you for staying true. Please keep it up and don't stop no matter what. I know exactly what you spoke of I too did not have a mom ...
🤍🔥 I would've never guessed you went through as much as you bravely described on this video. God is good, and I thank God for sending me this message through you. I am in awe of your beautiful spirit.
This was all my era and I don't miss it at all!.
Thanks for sharing this . I would’ve never thought that you been through that
Thank you for watching ❤
God works in mysterious ways, your page helped me embrace my femininity. Your raw honesty and how you include God in your commentary has helped me a lot. May God continue blessing you xoxo love from Uganda 🇺🇬
🤍🔥I Love this so much! This Conversation was Everything!! Thank You so very much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️ Both of your channels are amongst my absolute favorite videos to watch!❤️
Amazing story and I’m not even finished listening.
Because of what I went through I most make it
Your testimony!!! I have been waiting for this one!🙌🏻🫶🏻
I love hearing about where u came from. It’s hard for me to imagine you carrying a blade.😅
I’m so sorry to hear about your precious mom.😔🙏🏻
Thank you Julia 🙈🤍🤍🤍 and yes I can’t believe I walked around with blades 🙈 God is so good.
Wow my goodness I was so locked in ! My mother passed when I was a child as well and my father went to prison. My brother and I was separated and put into foster care and it was TOUGH !! I too would have jumped at gender reassignment if that would have been a thing then because I despised being a girl. I think it’s because I had to grow up so SO fast and my environment aka “the hood” You are absolutely right … it’s survival day by day and no child shoulf have to ever go through that but good on YOU for making it out. When you talked about everyone wanting their mommy my heart and soul ached for you ! I know we are from different worlds but we truly have so much in common. I’ve ALWAYS been drawn to you and now I know why. Thank you for sharing your story & God bless you. You are truly doing such amazing things and I pray God keeps you and protects you to keep sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us all ! You are such a light !! ✨
🤍🔥 This video is very inspirational. I'm currently in a stage where I am giving gratitude to God even in the midst of what me and my family are going through. 🙏🏾
Accelerated Reading ❤
I love you and your videos, Karine! I’m Filipina but feel we very similar with our values and ways of thinking! Gratitude is always the way to go. God bless 🤍🔥
I'm so happy I found you!
Wow! I thought you always knew how to speak English cause I’m an American native but you articulate and communicate things way better than I ever could.
I am straight binging through anything I’ve missed as I’m having a low day and I just got to say, I love me some Karine! I love this channel- both channels, but thank you for picking me up today ♥️🙏
You're the best. 💗 I can't believe I've followed you since so long, and just seeing how much you've grown over the years makes me so proud🥹🌷
I really appreciate you loving America.
You look so beautiful in those Haitian garments ❤
Thanks God, He was your greatest Teacher. God is great
Remember Lonely are the Brave.
I love Haitian people. I've always admired Hatians endurance,wit, and compassion. I was raised in Broward and I MISS some Lalo 😢. ❤
❤❤❤
You say everything I cant 34:49 34:49
It's almost unbelievable how i have never refer to you as just Karine, its always Karine Alourde. I'm so silly but I got tears in my eyes when you said it's your mom's name
This is for sure my favorite video from your channels thank you so much for sharing your testimony 🤍🔥
Thank you Doreen 😘😘

💜🙏🏾🎩**
Dearly loved sister 🤍🤍🤍🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for raising awareness on Haiti. Haiti, despite its current state, will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was in Haiti last August on a cruise, my heart crushed for the people I came by. Still a proud Haitian American no matter what!
Ou tre bel Karine….so proud of you. ❤
Thank you for making this video! 🙌🏽💗💯
Thank you for watching ❤❤
C'était très instructif. Merci beaucoup. Bonne continuation.
🤍 🤍 🤍 Without a doubt your ancestors are extremely proud of you. You are truly an inspiration 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it’s giving me so much resilience as I navigate during uncertain times ❤️
You are so welcome! Hang in there, it all will make sense, praying for you ❤
🤍🔥
Thank you for sharing you testimony Karine❤.
I was actuallu reflecting on my life timeline and how God has gotten me through many trials and strengthening (and forgiving) when I was immobile, stagnant with life, and complaining the whole time. I sort of experienced the reverse of your story. My parents moved my brother and I to my mom's country (the Philippines) during the 2nd recession. Money was tight and we had to downsize from living pretty off in a townhouse to then living in the a tiny apartment in the projects. I was in and out of school quite often because every time we would try to break and leave for overseas, something would happen- death in the family, car accidents, etc. But once we finally did move to the PH, I was so depressed and upset that I had to leave all the friends that I was finally making (was bullied a lot in school) and had to start from scratch and deal with a huge language barrier, be the only black/ foreign kid in the entire school (and city tbh), and doing terribly in school. It was a huge shock for me and it took a while to adjust, but by the Most High's grace I was able to graduate high school on time as well as study in college and earn a B.S. degree in architecture. Like, it took a while but I'm realizing that when I experience a super long hiatus or get seemingly thrown off my path, I know that its just Yah's way of setting things up for me and allowing me to learn the skills and lessons that will be necessary for the next season of my life. I hope that anyone else who is feeling lost or stagnant in life will remember that God's promises for your life are true and that you can trust Him in the moments of uncertainty. He won't let you down. ❤
This has really blessed me thank you for your story ❤
Im right there. I'm stuck right now in the mud of depression and blaming God and just angry. I've been in this depression for years. I honestly don't know how to get out of it. I have shame because of the state of my life. I'm very ashamed of the state of my life.
I’m older than you and I just want to say THANK YOU ❤ your testimony is and I know will always help me!! I resonate with you thank you for sharing 💕💕🤍🔥
beautiful testimony!
🤍🔥 Your story is inspiring. I'm so happy for you. May God continue to bless you in your future.
Thank you for sharing God Bless🙏🏽🕊✝

❤️ God bless you
God bless you ❤❤
🤍🔥 Thank you.
🤍🔥 exactly what I needed to hear in this current season I’m in.
Powerful testimony, Ms Karine. Praise the Lord!
🤍🔥 Just came across this channel today after watching and subscribing to your biography channel. I love this even more! You're so beautiful and such an inspiration! Thank you for your creativity and being vulnerable. Appreciate you! You are definitely making your mama proud! 💯
🤍🔥Thank you for sharing Karine. I’m so glad you triumphed through it all, with the help of God.
I love you Karine 🤍 🔥
I’d love to hear more stories like those two women
I grew up in the Boston region, so I never realized how bad the fighting was between black American men in Florida and Haitians. Not until recently. I don't notice much of a beef with Jamaicans tbh, moreso with Dominicans.
You are definitely a mentor to me. Yourself and Ms Fumi
Sending you oceans of love Karine Aloude.❤❤❤❤ I Appreciate your testimony. Your Blessings are going to be even greater. Amen. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
White heart, fire emoji (I'm on a laptop lol) Great Video !
Omg! This was for me. Thank you. 🥹✨✨
I’m so glad! Thank you for watching ❤❤
Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it 😊
Amen ❤
