  • Significant number of Jamaicans don't smoke,curse, nor drink, my brother . It's a narrative the world has about us.African tigress showed us a lot of beautiful Haiti . Love the interview
  • @freedomofpraise
    Wow this is wonderful A lot of Jamaicans diss Haitians but Haiti is a place like no other. Beautiful country. I'm also a Jamaican married to a Haitian Haitians are very affectionate people they greet you with kisses on both cheeks. It's disheartening to see the gang problem.

    The Kenyan Vlogger, African Tigress, showed us the beautiful side of Haiti including Port au Prince. The media loves to show the bad parts of Black countries so it's best to ignore them and keep an open mind.

    As a Canadian-Haitian married to a Jamaican and we also live in Jamaica a few months out the year, I absolutely love this interview and love the information given, I'll will still put in some quick correction, so haitians definitely do not fry everything, far from it, one of many parts of the cuisine, is called Fritay and it's different meats mainly pork and goat, fried plantain, fritters etc. it was popularized as street food back in the days and is served on special occasions, but not eaten in most household on a daily or regular basis, we mostly eat different rice and peas, stewed vegetables and meat, stewed peas, meat in sauce etc. Also Haiti is actually close to 14 mil unofficially, but 12 mil recorded, making it the most populous island in the Caribbean, the diversity of the cuisine from the different regions vary greatly, in terms of religion even if voodooism is prevelent, it is not anywhere near 50%, the best breakdown would be about 60% catholic, about 30% any protestant denominations and 10 to 20% voodooism, with some being catholic at the same time. Must add francique mango is considered one of the highest quality mango in world 🙂loll, all jokes aside, I really enjoyed this interview and cuddos on your creole,

    Haitians are wonderful island people. Jamaicans and Haitians share a close history. Jam-Hatian family here.
  • I had Jamaican neighbors in the 80s and 90s in Haiti. They had a farm where we used to go buy chicken, lamb, etc. Since then I've dreamed of visiting Jamaica. Still planning on it.
  • Very nice show, well for me I was born in Haiti 🇭🇹 my mom is Haitian and Dad is Jamaican, they both met in Cap Haitian while my dad was working on a cruise ship that went into Labadee, after I was born 9 months later my mom wanted to travel by sea to get to the Bahamas my Dad disagreed and suggested to let him bring me to his mother in St Elizabeth and so she agreed that when she got to the Bahamas and settled down he would fly me to where she was, well it was 13 years later my mom laid eyes on me again. They were able to find each other again, she flew down to Jamaica to meet me. Fast forward she then started the process to have me migrate to the US which was granted to me 2 years later, I am proud to be a part of both cultures I visit both countries from time to time. I speak Creole and chat Patwa my kids ask me if I don’t get confused with the languages.

    Haiti is truly a free country...my country ❤
  • @doxcb4717
    That is why we must tell our own stories. Love every bit of this interview . Big up mama Haiti 🇭🇹🇯🇲
  • @bebedume6617
    This was a nice interview. I took few of my Jamaican friends to Haiti for a week and they were shocked to know Haiti is so beautiful, and they all enjoyed the trip.
  • @mikematthews167
    As a Jamaican who has been associated with this Beautiful country since 1978, I truly appreciated this interview, my first born is Haitian
  • @jeansamson3861
    You know this is the first time that I hear a real Jamaican talk so kind and seems to have great understanding about life in general . Brother you are a real true person. A lot of respect to you 👍
  • @user-vz3on3nm8y
    I laugh when people talk about Haiti. We have people from everywhere living in Haiti and they're treated like family. Haitians are very welcoming, they love people. You heard how dominicains treat Haitians living in Dominican Republic, Dominicans, Cubans ect living in Haiti they love Haiti and the people, there's no difference, they're living like families in Haiti.
