Joberde is the youngest of three children, born in Jean-Rabel, Haiti. Acclimating to life in America was quite a challenge especially in the South. Joberde learned English quickly in order to blend in to life in America. His heroes are his parents from whom he learned a love for public speaking, community work, storytelling, theater and film. Joberde grew up watching his father, a pastor, give speeches and sermons, and admired his father's ability to move a crowd. From these beginnings, Joberde's passion to be a storyteller began.After college graduation and aspiring to get involved in community work and politics, Joberde began taking acting classes to improve his stage presences. Through these classes Joberde discovered his passion in acting in itself to inspire others through storytelling. Today, Joberde lives in Los Angeles carrying on the dream that his parents started when they boarded the boat from Haiti to America. Hide
