Fresh from Haitian Flag Day and Haitian Heritage Month, the crew discussed what celebrating our culture truly looked like from their perspectives. They then discussed whether Konpa music is still viewed as secular in our generation or did the American territory made today's millennials view it simply as a "cultural" tie.

The HMP crew started the episode discussing their resolutions for 2024 or as Leona puts it "Ares of opportunities" and they stumbled upon the question of if setting resolutions was taught to them at home or if was it something they adopted from the American culture. They also talked about being unapologetically Haitian and adapting to corporate America and with a new group of their Haitian brothers and sisters now calling America home they asked themselves what is a talent or trade that is transferable to corporate America or the workforce in general. And What is a Sol? The crew had an awesome time during this episode. Pless play and join them on this audio journey.
