In addition to these activities, he used to advocate as an ambassador for human rights with “l’Amicale des Juristes” and hosted some radio and TV programs.

Louis ran for Congress in August 2015 in Haiti, due to his political affiliation, he was targeted for his propensity for speaking out against the mistreatment of youth, inclusion, and social cohesion in Haiti. His aspiration for unified Haiti was dashed by constant fears, stress, and constant phone calls to join the government and the opposition political parties. Coming to United States in August 2016, he gained that motivation that he once had and wants to better educate himself to benefit others. As a hard worker and committed individual, he knows he is capable of reaching those goals. Most important, he has a great passion and believes with an education, all is achievable.
