Description

In this episode, my guest Gherianne Kareen Ulysse shares her immigrant story.

Kareen currently serves as Founder/President of Centre Hospitalier de Fontaine Foundation, a private nonprofit hospital that her father built in 1991. She is proudly continuing and scaling up her father's 31-year healthcare and workforce development legacy in Haiti. Her Foundation's vision is for each institution they support to become the institution of choice for the community it serves and a model institution for similar institutions. She helps ministries, executives, and founders expand their corporate purpose in Haiti.  

In this episode, Kareen and I discussed:

• Her family background and being an anchor baby
• Life circumstances in Haiti which led to her family becoming political refugees
• Anchor babies and birth tourism
• The political situation in Haiti back when she was young that led to the political unrest
• The current state of affairs in Haiti
• How she and her countrymen are dealing with the high unemployment, violence, lack of essential goods and services
• Haitian language, music, and food
• Her Dad's background and how her father built the hospital
• Moving to the US and adjusting to US culture
• The discrimination she experienced in school
• Showing up as her authentic immigrant self
• Her encouragement and advice to other people who are also not American and an Immigrant
