A cultural activist, public health researcher and consultant, community-based organizer, curating performing artist, and proud child of Haitian immigrants, Véronëque Ignace uses ethnographic tools, performance work, research, and public health understandings of program planning and evaluation to facilitate growth, racial equity policies, an orientation toward socio-political community engagement at non-profits, grassroots groups, and larger arts institutions.

The Flatbush, Brooklyn native often uses dance and writing to merge her passion for public health, Haiti, people-centered methodologies, and dance in such a way that allows for large-scale healing. With her movement, she hopes to complicate mechanisms for social change and health equity, connecting spiritual balance and self-understanding to modes of recovery and restoration.

In 2016, Ignace founded Kriyol Dance! Collective, the antecedent to the now Kriyol Collective LLC. In 2018, she began actively building an archive for Lakou Societe St. Michel Archange. She is an alum of Williams College and SUNY Downstate School of Public Health. She is currently a PhD student at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health.
