On the first episode of Beyond Sa'k Pase, Graham interviews Haitian-American Naomie Pascal. A Radiology Technologist by trade who has made it her life mission to bring together the largest network of Haitian immigrants in Charlotte, NC and other states and cities in the Southeast. Born in Haiti and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Naomie is at first an introvert and admits she's not always the one who makes the first move. However, once people befriend Naomie, she becomes a reliable friend for life, and she inspires a sense of loyalty and unconditional friendship. During this interview, Graham attempts to explore Naomie's upbringing, her background, her core beliefs and her motivations to be so patient, and passionate about the Haitian community in the diaspora. Naomie is also a founding member of Haitian Heritage and Friends of Haiti, a Haitian-American non-profit organization which became one of the very first groups to bring humanitarian and medical aid to Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake which struck Haiti in 2010. Graham & Naomie also chat about parenting as Haitian-Americans and breaking the generational habit of corporal punishments.  If you enjoy this episode of Beyond Sak Pase, please leave us a comment on Apple Podcast or whichever is your favorite podcast app. Please subscribe for future episodes.
