Haiti In 2021

On this episode, we speak to a young Haitian living in Haiti about the events happening in the country thus far. A conversation spanning over an hour, this young woman, an international relations professional, gave context on what it is like living in Haiti in 2021. A pandemic in a country that has not started national vaccination protocol as yet; on going protests, lack of resources and the current hurricane season have already made Haitians at home unease. However, the assassination of the head of state, Jovenel Moïse, in July of 2021, have created a more tense atmosphere for the world’s first black republic.
