She is a Haitian-American artist educator visual anthropologist and racial equity coach residing in Brooklyn, NY. She has more than 20 years of experience in teaching, training and supporting diverse communities through the use of photography, film and mixed-media. She purposes, through her talents in photography and teaching (in curricular lesson planning) "to promote love, understanding and respect in addressing issues of race, representation and justice through participatory and reflective learning practices...culturally transformative curricula, workshops, salons, performances, forums, exhibits/festivals, and tours. She is the founder of Urban Photo Poets, Brooklyn Photo Salon and the Brooklyn to Benin." [1] Nou Pap Bliyé commemorates photographs she took 3 weeks after the catastrophic 7.0 Haiti earthquake on January 12, 2010. Rather than focusing on the common media coverage of the tragedy, she chose to emphasize "the elements of faith, dignity honor and respect that allowed Haitian communities to survive and move forward" Through photography and writing Romain "seeks to bridge two compelling views: the individual-shaped by Romain's identity as the daughter of Haitian immigrants raised in the United States, and the collective-depicting the reality of Haiti as a self-determining nation with an ever-evolving generation of people committed to redefining its own ethos...King, Nelson A. "Colorful Haiti." Caribbean Life 22-28 Jan., 2021, pp. 25-28.
