    E15:  The Deportee Story; Fighting Stigma and Changing Haiti for the Better. Ft. Marie Sainviluste  

    The deported story is an important yet often neglected story of the Haitian diaspora experience. Being deportee is almost kept hush-hush due to the stigma associated with it, despite that, not all Haitians get deported because of a criminal offense. Our guest Marie Sainviluste, of LifeinHaiti Youtube, is here to deep into the issue with sharing her own story.  The story is dark, and often unforgiving, but the outcome is one of incredible hope and impact.  She is now in Haiti changing changing lives, educating youth, and building homes in Haiti.  Please listen alongside us, in this very special podcast.
