Ruth lets it be known that beatings/punishment were community-oriented when it comes to Haitians and Sparkle remembers her friend “Billy” the goat (he was delicious 😂).

Haitians and Other Haitians [Part II]
“Yo manjè l!”
The girls (and Rich) are shocked to find out that Barnes —of “Celino and Barnes”— passed away in 2020. Rich breaks his silence and recounts the tragic trauma of a cancelled birthday. Naphtah starts an èpis war and declares that Ruth’s mom is the ultimate èpis plug. Izzy shares that she’s been babysitting since she was 8-years old and Sparkle questions whether or not she’s the brother she’s never had.

Fenix and Alina get some Haitian points. Izzy talks about having to salye her teenage aunts and uncles.

Customer Reviews
Fresh and Funny
The podcast lane is open for whoever wants to join and this new group of ladies are bringing their fresh take to us. It is a pleasure to hear three women who have had similar experiences as I have, explore the nuances of being a Haitian American. First episode was great and I look forward to listening. Stay blessed!
Relatable, Funny Listen
Interesting that we all lived similar lives as a Caribbean transplant growing up in NY during the 90s/00s as a Jamaican immigrant with parents born in the 50s. I never felt “on trend” with fashion or allowances like my little school friends LOL. Appreciate the Parentals anyway. Keep going ladies!
Relatable + Funny
I’m already hooked on this podcast and the hosts. They speak about a lot of the experiences we went through as children of Haitian immigrants and add a comedic flair. Top five. Top five. Top five.
