“I just love them…I love their energy, their strength and what I love the most is that wherever they go, they proudly represent Haiti. I might be a designer that is known and loved in Canada, but I will be always known as the “Haitian guy”, the “Immigrant” or the “Black guy”. I proudly embrace and cherish who I am and so do these 3 models. They are young, smart and fresh…full of personality and confidence. Of course these had to be my girls!”

- Ralph Leroy on his models Sarodj, Kiki, Nayeli

“I have been following them for a long time! First I followed Sarodj, then Nayeli and Kiki. I identify a little bit of myself in each one of them as they are fighters: I admire them for that. They are strong and by observing them, you might even get the feeling that they are bulletproof. Love them or hate them, you will always have to deal with them as they stay focused and will STILL be in your face.”

- RALPH LEROY

How boys learn… How we all learn. Inside we become indoctrinated into rejecting our inherent essence and grow an impenetrable shell to create protection. Nothing bad can come in, and nothing good can come in either. The door to your heart opens inward. What is the universe to you? Is it a loving place or a hateful place. Just know whatever you say, you are right!
