About the Host
Farah Larrieux is host of WPBT2’s new public affairs program, Haiti Journal.

Farah began her entertainment career at the young age of 18, where she worked as a television host and radio personality at Telemax and Radio Vision 2000 in Haiti.  She would later go on to host programs at two other radio stations, Signal FM and Planèt Kreyòl. As an actress, Farah had roles in the films Cicatrices 2 and Protège-moi.

In 2002, Farah entered the public relations field, and together with Pierre-Michel Théodat, she founded THELAR Advertising in Haiti.  A year after she moved to the United States, she found herself being immensely involved with the Haitian music industry in South Florida.  She worked with well-established and professional bands, such as Nu Look and Zenglen, and collaborated with well-known Haitian producer Fred Paul and The Rhythm Foundation.  For three years, she worked with TMG, Inc. and Kaliko Productions as the public relations arm of the Haitian Independence Festival.

In addition to her work in public relations, from 2006 to 2008, Farah worked as an international scout representing Haiti at the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Los Angeles, California. She has also been a judge in the National Miss American Coed Pageants since 2007.
