Se Kreyol Nou Ye - Creole Heritage Month, Websder Corneille Interview

On this episode of Creole Narratives, we’re celebrating Creole Heritage Month & Day (Oct. 28) — honoring a language born out of resistance, resilience, and unity. Today, more than a dozen nations speak Creole — a living expression of identity that continues to shape our culture, music, and storytelling. From the powerful rhythms of Boukman Eksperyans’ “Se Kreyol Nou Ye” to everyday conversations that connect generations — Creole lives on. Linguist Websder Corneille, founder of the Creole Language Program, joins us to explore the origins, evolution, and global impact of Creole. Here’s a list divided by region ⸻ Caribbean & Americas • Haiti – Haitian Creole (Kreyòl Ayisyen) • Saint Lucia – Kwéyòl (Saint Lucian Creole French) • Dominica – Kwéyòl / Dominican Creole • Guadeloupe – Guadeloupean Creole • Martinique – Martinican Creole • French Guiana – Guianese Creole • Belize – Belize Kriol (English-based Creole) • Jamaica – Jamaican Patois (English-based Creole) • Bahamas – Bahamian Creole English • Trinidad & Tobago – Trinidadian Creole English and French Creole (less common today) • Barbados – Bajan Creole • U.S. Virgin Islands – Virgin Islands Creole English

FAMU President's Contributions to Haiti - Walter Smith Jr. Interview

Dr. Walter Lee Smith, president of Florida A&M University from 1977 to 1985, is remembered for strengthening higher education not only in the United States, but also across the African diaspora — including Haiti. Through the eyes of his son, Walter Smith Jr., we revisit those historic missions to Haiti and explore the lasting legacy Dr. Smith left behind. In this episode, Walter Smith Jr. — an anthropologist and engineer — also breaks down Haiti’s history since the revolution, while shedding light on the country’s vast mineral wealth and why, despite its natural resources, Haiti has struggled to benefit from them. This conversation connects history, education, and global Black identity — while pointing to the opportunities and challenges that continue to shape Haiti’s future.
