Families Exploring Culture

Jade Jones, owner of the Jonesin' For Taste blog, invites you to join her in the discussion of cultural awareness and world diversity. Learn how families teach their children to explore and embrace the world, its people and their differences with a compassionate heart and open mind. When we reach out of our comfort zone and seek to learn about other people, nationalities, and cultures, we become more empathetic. This creates a feeling of social connection and unification.

Exploring Haitian Culture

May 13, 2021 • Jade Jones • Season 1 • Episode 24

What do you know about Haiti? Come and learn about the culture of Haiti, it's food and people. Husband and wife duo, AJ & Mirlene of Savory Thoughts, share about life in Haiti, what they love about the culture, and the struggle of keeping their children connected with their heritage.

Virtual field trip for kids: Coming soon

About today's guest:

We’re AJ & Mirlene. We write, cook, and take pictures of all the foods you see on this site. We are both avid coffee lovers and foodies. We were both born in Haiti, but completed all of our schooling in the United States. We have been blessed to have careers that allow us stability and growth. Mirlene’s dream and passion is to be at home in the kitchen, in her “own world” and to share with you her creativity. Our goal is not only to introduce Haitian recipes and other dishes, but also show how Haitian dishes can be use as part of other dishes from around the world.
