Beneath the headlines and beyond the stereotypes lies a Haiti few are willing to confront — a nation whose culture is not just preserved, but weaponized in the name of survival. From mountaintop fortresses to funeral parades, Vodou rituals to agricultural resistance, this Smithsonian-style exploration challenges everything we think we know about freedom, faith, and food.Why does Haitian Creole still fight for legitimacy?
What can a soup or a mask teach us about revolution?
And why does the world still fear Haiti’s memory?This is not a story of poverty. It’s a story of power.
The kind that cannot be colonized.
