Welcome to Forever in Paris
Angela is the founder of Forever in Paris, a purpose-driven secondhand boutique rooted in her Haitian-American upbringing and a lifelong belief that nothing with value should ever go to waste. With nearly 20 years of experience as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, Angela has spent her career caring for people, paying attention to the small details that restore dignity and make daily life easier. That same spirit guides her work as an entrepreneur.
Forever in Paris began during a difficult season when Angela’s work hours were cut and she needed to get creative. After learning that the average home holds thousands of dollars in unused items, she began reselling pieces from her own home. What felt like a practical solution quickly revealed something deeper: she had been preparing for this all her life.
Growing up, Angela watched her mother ship gently used clothing and essentials to relatives in Haiti. Seeing photos of those items being worn with gratitude shaped her understanding of secondhand from a young age. To her family, secondhand was never “less than”—it was connection, generosity, and love.
About Us
As sales increased, Angela realized she could turn her skills into a mission. She began sourcing high-quality pre-loved items, preparing them with care, and reinvesting the proceeds into shipments of essential clothing, shoes, bedding, and household goods for families in Haiti. Her husband, Neil, joined her as the business manager, handling shipping, organization, and day-to-day operations.
Today, Angela leads Forever in Paris as both a business and a bridge: one that provides affordable fashion to budget-conscious customers in the U.S., while sending dignity-centered support to Haitian families who often go without the basics.
Her vision is simple but powerful—restore value, reduce waste, and uplift communities in need. Through Forever in Paris, Angela is proving that meaningful change can start small and grow through consistency, compassion, and purpose.
