Episode 1: In Her Shoes; Paulette's Story
A young Haitian family takes charge of their future... or as much as one can during the current socio-political climate in Haiti. Gangs control the capital, the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic remains closed due to disputes between the two countries, and every day residents of Haiti are applying for visas to leave Haiti, hoping to leave the danger and chaos behind.
Meanwhile, there are young women like Paulette who have no one to send for them and are taking their chances in the northern city of Cap Haitien.

Loved it!
What an amazing way to take a tour at Second Mile Haiti! With the sounds of Haiti included, I felt like I could actually be there—taking the tour and hearing, first hand, Paulette’s story. Thank you, Paulette, for sharing your story through Amy and Jenn. It was really touching to hear.
Can’t wait for the next one!
Wonderful listen!! :)
Great listen!! I truly enjoyed my “walk in her shoes.” Thank you for sharing Paulette and her family’s beautiful and touching story 💜
Enjoy!
I’m so proud to have this podcast out in the world. I hope everyone enjoys listening as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
May we all work to accept and understand one another a little more each day!
