Jamaican Living In Haiti

Haiti is a beautiful island, but that's not the side of the country that the media tends to show says Derrick Rowe a #Jamaican engineer married to an Haitian and living in #Haiti.
On this episode of Jamaicans To the World we get a first hand pov of what's it's like navigating two cultures as a Jamaican expat living, growing a family and working in Haiti.

Nationality and race or two different things do not encourage people to say that they don’t look like a Jamaican or Haitian because anybody can be born anywhere and for him to say his wife is 100% Haitian. There’s no such thing as 100% Haitian or 100% Jamaican or 100% on American but if you’re talking about race - 100% Negro 100%, white/ 100% yellow which covers Chinese and some Asian nationals or Indian etc. You can’t be 100% of a nationality, come on now! Educated as we say, we are addressing internationally on talk, shows, and programs we have to learn the difference between race, nationality, and ethnicity!

[@LIK3SQUAD_CEO]

i dont believe haitians and jamaicans are one family. both black yes but different blood line and tribe. we have nothing in common with jamaicans at all. we haitians fought and defeated our opponents France and spain . if we was the same, jamica would've done the same and haitians are one of a kind unique. everything we have and culture nobody has it same way. haiti the godfather of black nation.

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.

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,

[@xmurphy2485]

@@colleenwilliamshenry7422nah it’s not true. Haitians have so many dishes that even Haitians themselves do not make. We have a lot of dishes that are not dried and not fried, but the very most popular ones are the fried ones. That kind of Haitian food is called fritay which my mom makes less frequently in my household. She makes most of the other dishes.

[@Shirl25]

Correction! Haitians do not fry everything. Yes, we have an array of fried dishes called "fritay" such as fried plantain, dumplings, sweet potato, griyo, etc., that are not consumed daily . Although we do not make curried meats, we do, however, make stewed meats such as stewed chicken, goat, beef, and seafood. Great interview. We love our Jamaicans.

[@negmarron1791]

Yes , I agree... When I was a kid, we only ate Fritay at parties or special events.

[@sugabunz9088]

Excellent interview Xavier, Derrick provided lots of gems . I was hoping you were going to ask him about the Susumba/Jamaican myth, lol.

[@ronydrphil4042]

The Western world is so stuck in you know where and still can’t forgive HAITI for what it did in 1804. And sadly enough, there are some poor Caribbean Islands that follow the same brainless, empty-headed, slow-witted narrative of the former colonizers they picked up in the mainstream media. But, let me tell you, we Haitians are black and the proudest of all.

FOR CUBA AND HAITI 🇭🇹 BEING SO CLOSE TO JAMAICA IT SHOULD BE COMPULSORY TO TEACH SPANISH AND FRENCH IN OUR SCHOOLS. FROM KINDERGARTEN

Dutty bookman was a great worrier, he really helped the Haitian in their fight for freedom.

[@rosssniiibonome8124]

Stop spreading lies n BS. How can someone free someone else when they're enslave themselves. Your dude died on Nov 7, 1791. Haitian fought the big fight on Nov 1803 but did not claim their independence in Jan 1804. So what exactly your dude, whatever his name was. Your kinds are a bunch traitor just like the kenyan who helped give boats to spread us in the Caribbean to slavery, Haitians are the Bantou people.

[@rosssniiibonome8124]

Every nation that partaken in Haiti ' s misery will be punished by the most high GOD with natural disasters. MARK. MY. WORD. you're the same one that allows the USA to conduct a meeting or to plot Haiti ' misery in your country. Overhead talking about brothers n sister, this is the BS that y'all want Haitians a ants to believe, yall are the same bad mouthing Haiti, stating Haiti is the hurricane city, now look at what GOD did with Beryl.

All beautiful people of Caribbean Islands came from Africa and they. are good brothers and sisters . Haiti was the main trans destination point for our beloved ancestors, the first black country in the world to become Independent in 1804 ,unfortunately destroyed by bad Governance of Papa ,Baby and his Ton Tow Marcout tyrannic reign. Precious People of Haiti , sorrow might come at night but joy comes in the morning.. Lastly all of the Caribbean Nations together with other world wide well wishers in unity have decided to bring back Peace in Haiti. With the help of The Mighty God ,they will succeed and let all Haitians Refugees come back and reconstructi their beloved shattered Nation and Land.
