Haiti has survived revolution, exploitation, foreign intervention, political instability, devastating natural disasters, and generations of being asked to rebuild again and again. But Haiti is more than what has happened to it.
In this episode, Nik and Nhi reflect on the recent gang attack in Kenscoff, the end of Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the U.S., and the complicated experience of watching your home country hurt from afar.
Nik also looks back at Haiti’s history, from the revolution that created the world’s first independent Black republic to the debt imposed by France, foreign occupation, the 2010 earthquake, and the crises that followed, and wrestles with what it means to continually describe Haitians as “resilient.” Because resilience can be a source of pride. But how many times should a people be expected to prove that they can survive?
This is a conversation about grief, diaspora, identity, compassion without pity, and refusing to let tragedy become the entirety of Haiti’s story.
To Haitians at home and across the diaspora: we see you.
