Send us Fan MailIn this heartfelt episode of Souvni On The Mike, Souvni and Valentin take listeners on a nostalgic journey back to their childhoods in Haiti, reflecting on the beauty, challenges, and cultural richness of the places that shaped them, from Arcahaie’s seaside traditions and 18 May celebrations to the rural rhythms of Benè and Christmas gatherings in the countryside. Their conversation explores the emotional impact of migration, the struggle to adapt to a new culture, and the bittersweet memories that still anchor them to home. The episode then shifts to a powerful and emotional installment of La Famille Pòt, where Ovila’s sister Gayèl arrives shaken by fears of deportation and the harsh realities facing undocumented Haitians. As the family debates safety, dignity, and the impossible choice between staying abroad or returning to a dangerous Haiti, the moment is softened by Bryan’s innocent affection and Ovila’s ever‑present mayi ak aransò, reminding listeners that even in hardship, Haitian families hold on to love, humor, and hope.Support the showCheck our website/blog: https://sweetcoconuts.blogspot.com/
