In this episode I discuss my thoughts on the evolving kidnapping news out of Port-au-Prince and how white folks in Haiti need to take responsibility for their own bad decisions and wreckless actions in the country. I also wrestle with the complex question of what the international response should be in a situation like this.

In this episode I dive into the current events unfolding at the southern border of the United States and the impact on Haitian refugees seeking a better life. It’s a complicated and messy situation with no easy answers, but we gotta talk about it so we can lay bare the systems responsible that we each have a duty to contribute to breaking down.

In this episode I have the pleasure of welcoming my good friend, Gwenn Goodale Mangine, as we discuss our own experiences in the 2010 earthquake, what it means to be part of a story that’s not yours to tell, and how trauma manifests in our bodies and within our sense of community.

In my introductory episode of The White Man’s Guide to Ruining Haiti, I share motivations for starting this podcast and take a quick look at the latest Haiti news. Then I share stories of my own pleasant experiences in some of the countries most notoriously dangerous neighborhoods, including the most refreshing (public) shower of my life. And I wrap up by complaining about white-boy-social-media-content-creators who exploit people’s fears of places like Haiti to get views. Follow me online @leerainboth on all platforms.
