Manny Paul has built his career at the intersection of journalism and community — telling the stories that matter most to those whose voices are too often left out of mainstream coverage.
Manny Paul is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Caribbean Television Network (CTN), a Boston-based multilingual digital news organization serving the Haitian and Caribbean diaspora across the United States and the Caribbean. Under his leadership, CTN has grown into one of the most trusted voices in diaspora media, reaching more than 700,000 viewers across video, web, newsletter, and social platforms.
A graduate of Northeastern University and Harvard, Manny brings the rigor of formal journalism training to subjects that few national outlets cover with depth: Temporary Protected Status, the Haitian political crisis, immigrant integration in U.S. cities, and the lived experience of multilingual, multi-generational diaspora communities. His exclusive interviews with U.S. Senators, members of Congress, and community leaders have shaped public conversation on issues affecting hundreds of thousands of American families.
On stage, Manny brings the same standards he applies in the newsroom: preparation, presence, and a deep respect for the audience. His keynotes draw from his own immigrant story, his work as a journalist, and his experience building a multilingual organization from the ground up. He speaks fluently in English, French, and Haitian Creole — and adapts his delivery to whatever audience the moment demands.
Manny lives in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he has built deep roots in the Haitian-American community. He maintains active press credentials with Major League Soccer and the National Women's Soccer League, regularly covers New England Revolution and Boston Legacy FC matches at Gillette Stadium, and is officially credentialed for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Beyond journalism, he operates ITFServices LLP, a tax preparation and document services company supporting immigrant families with translation, notary, and small business services.
The role of a journalist — and of a speaker — is to make the invisible visible, to translate complex realities for audiences who deserve to understand them, and to do so without losing the humanity of the people at the center of every story. That belief drives everything Manny does, from a breaking-news segment in Haitian Creole to a keynote on a university stage.
Conferences, universities, foundations, and corporate audiences. Speaking engagements begin with a conversation.
