This week Souvni and Valentin take listeners on a humorous yet thought-provoking journey through “Traumatization and the Memory of Colonization.” Using storytelling, satire, Haitian proverbs, and plenty of laughter, they explore how historical wounds can become so normal that we stop recognizing them as wounds at all. From growing up without electricity to being praised for being “strong” while carrying invisible burdens, the episode asks an important question: Are some of the things we call resilience actually survival habits passed down through generations? And as always, the learning continues with humor. In this week's La Famille Pòt skit, Freya and Tika confront Ovila and Dyak about the childhood “traumas” caused by classic Haitian parenting, only to discover that their parents have a few emotional complaints of their own about raising Haitian children in the diaspora. The result is a hilarious family showdown where everyone is traumatized, everyone is offended, and somehow... they found the culprit.
