Opening Mixer
The week opens with a room. Business owners, creatives, organisers and anyone who wants to be there — no programme, no panel, just the introductions that make the rest of the week work.

November 1–8, 2026
We came in 2020. In November 2026, we come back — and we stay a week.
Atlanta is the first city of the full Chokarella City format. Eight days finding the Haitians shaping the city's businesses, culture and community, four nights of live events, and a permanent guide that stays on this site long after we leave.
In 2020 we came to Atlanta for a weekend with a camera and a short list of people worth talking to. It was a Takeover — fast, loose, and over before it started.
In 2026 we come back for eight days with the full format: the people, the businesses, the places, four nights of live events, and a guide to Haitian Atlanta that does not disappear when we do.
Who we meet is partly up to you.

A live community panel and audience discussion centered on an issue that matters to Haitian Atlanta.

The show, in front of a room, in the city. Same format, same hosts — Carel Pedre and Guiliano Puzo — no edit to hide behind, plus whoever we have met in Atlanta by Wednesday.
The week closes with the stage. Musicians, comedians, dancers and performers from Haitian Atlanta, one night, filmed for the series.

What lands here later
Nothing has been shot yet. The films and the city guide publish together, after the week is over.
