Company

We started with the moment a patient isn't understood.

Veyatia exists because too many people receive care, guidance, and service in a language they barely follow, and because the person who ends up interpreting is often a child.

Mwen gen doulè.

I have pain.

The founder

He heard the words before his father did.

Jean Paul was an ESL teacher, pulled from his own classroom again and again to carry Haitian families through their hardest moments. His students learned to wait.

Then it was his father in the emergency room, and the interpreter was him again. He heard everything first. Then he had to say it, as a son. He built Veyatia so no family carries that alone.

My father heard the doctor's words in my voice, and my voice was shaking.

I want the next family to hear them in a voice that isn't.

He is an EdD candidate in language access, and the named inventor on five provisional patents.

Our mission

We build the bridge
so a child never has to be one.

The room

Being understood should not depend on whoever happened to be in the room.

How we build

We went narrow and deep, Creole first, and we do not pretend the catalog is finished. Your interpreters stay yours when the stakes rise.

The team

The people who build the path.

A small team on a live-voice path, Creole first. We build so the next visit is understood on the phones you already use, or in the room you are already in.
