S'ak Pase Podcast

This episode is a bit different from the usual. It's more of a rant about my current situation but I'm sure many can relate to.

(Warning: Explicit language used throughout this episode) 

The spirit of the revolution continues, PTSD of being Black and other things on my mind today.

On this episode of S'ak Pase With Sophonie, our host dives into the depths of a topic many stray away from. LOVE!

Men Jazz La Song: Vin Pran'm by Badikamall 

This is a quick update episode on the podcast and also dedicated to the late great, Kreyolicious (Katheline St. Fort) who recently passed away. She was a well known Haitian blogger, writer, creative and historian. A kind individual, friend and huge supporter of her fellow Haitian creatives. May she continue to rest in perfect peace.

Sophonie reintroduces her podcast brand with a new title and graphics. The podcast formerly known as The Haitian American Dream. She also touches on the theme of season 2, which is "Difficult Conversations," in the Haitian community. 

Are Haitians bad at communicating or are we just ill informed on how to communicate effectively? Do we speak first and listen later or listen never? Are you parents passive or aggressive when addressing an issue at home? Want to learn more or chime in, well you have to tune in...
