Description

Internationally- known musician Romel Joseph embodies both success and resilience in every aspect of his life. He lost his eyesight as a child, learned to play several musical instruments, graduated from one of the nation's top music institutions, The Juilliard School and founded an elementary and music school in Port-au-Prince Haiti for children that was destroyed twice -- once by fire in 2000 and by earthquake in 2010.

Four years later, his spirit remains persistent on accomplishing his life's mission - creating Haiti's first music conservatory and performing arts center.

Mr. Joseph has served as keynote speaker for the National Industries for the Blind in Cincinnati, and the United Nations Human Rights Day Assembly in Geneva. Both the State of Connecticut and the city of Miami have established Romel Joseph Days in their communities in his honor.

Mr. Joseph wants to share his positive spirits with everyone who struggles with the challenges they face by never giving up -- no matter what! Join us for Romel Johnson's words of inspiration followed by a musical performance and question and answer session.
