Habitat for Haiti | Growing Up With Haitian Parents feat. Marc
In this episode of Culture In Between, Marc shares his experience as a Haitian-American. He describes the vibrancy of life in the Little Haiti neighborhood in Miami, why no one leaves hungry from a Haitian dinner (post-dinner, anyone?), and why voodoo is not actually an integral part of the culture despite existing stereotypes.
