About Rosiah

Rosiah is a 24-year-old Haitian American whose greatest passions are advocacy and entrepreneurship. Recently, Shawn (Rosiah) has been using YouTube as his creative canvas to express these passions. He began creating videos as early as 13 years old but gained notable traction in 2018 when he launched his new channel, named after his middle name—Rosiah.

His journey as a transgender man has opened his eyes and mind to the world around him. Recognizing the lack of transgender representation among people of color, Shawn felt a moral obligation to become a trailblazer within his community. YouTube became the perfect outlet to document and share his experiences, advice, and reflections on life with his audience.

Shawn came out to his entire school in seventh grade, began medically transitioning in eighth grade, and underwent top surgery in Boston, MA during his junior year of high school. As he continued to document his life, more people began to relate to or find inspiration in his story—gradually expanding his reach to a global audience.

Today, Shawn has built a brand dedicated to spreading beauty throughout the world.

As someone who once struggled to understand the meaning of “beautiful,” he challenged himself to redefine it—an act that deepened his understanding of both himself and his transition. He now encourages others to do the same: to question what beauty truly means and embrace it as an ever-evolving concept. Beauty, he reminds us, extends beyond stereotypes, beyond Eurocentric ideals, and beyond any fixed notion—it’s something limitless, lived, and redefined every day.
