Meet Nayalee C. Pearl — the Haitian powerhouse behind some of South Florida’s most culturally-driven businesses. From co-owning the beloved Pearl of the Island Caribbean Restaurant to founding the elegant Pearl Event banquet hall, Nathalie has built an empire rooted in purpose, culture, and community.
Through her latest venture, the Nayalee Brand Forum, and the annual Summer Expo, she continues to create platforms that celebrate Haitian excellence and empower Black-owned brands to rise and thrive.
At the heart of it all is her mission: to amplify Haitian excellence, build bridges for small businesses, and create spaces where community wins.
The Summer Expo 2025, powered by @nayalee_brandforum, wasn’t just an event — it was a movement. And the next chapter is already in motion. 💥
