I don't know much about Laveau, but black people owning slaves in order to give them a sort of freedom DID happen. Often this was after certain states passed laws either requiring freed slaves to leave the state (where they might have family) within a certain amount of time, or made freeing slaves either very difficult or impossible to begin with. Either a local abolitionist society would buy the slave, or in some case the original slave owner would sign them over voluntarily. This way they'd have de facto freedom, if not de jure (legal). Often it was also a lot safer to be owned on paper; having an owner to speak up on your behalf lended you a sort of protection.

That being said, some black people did definitely own slaves for the purposes anyone else did. This was just way less common than confederacy apologists like to believe.
