Peace Seekers - Reimagining Belonging
What does it mean to be well—not just physically, but emotionally, culturally, and in community?
In this episode, we talk with Saul Ferolus, a Haitian peace seeker, father, husband and community advocate, who shares his lived experience as a Haitian navigating life after the 2010 earthquake, migration, and the challenges of being misunderstood in a new country. His story invites us to consider how well-being is shaped not only by access to care, but by the narratives we tell about each other.
We explore how the effects of othering—especially through fear-based media portrayals—can undermine health at both individual and collective levels. And we reflect on what it means to belong, to be seen with dignity, and to stay connected to community, even across distance and disruption.
This is a conversation about resilience, relational health, and the quiet power of being held in community. Lepspwa fe viv! Hope gives life!
