The Soul of a People is a storytelling podcast exploring Haitian culture, traditions, history, and the experiences of the Haitian diaspora.
Hosted by leadership coach and cultural storyteller Marie Stuppard, the show dives into the deeper meaning behind the rituals, foods, memories, and stories passed down through generations.
Each episode invites listeners to look beyond the surface of tradition and ask deeper questions:
Why do we do the things we do?
Where did these traditions come from?

Through reflective storytelling, cultural insight, and community voices, Marie explores the traditions that shape Haitian identity—from powerful symbols like Soup Joumou, to the everyday rituals that connect generations across the diaspora.
With over 25 years of experience in leadership coaching and mentoring, Marie brings a thoughtful and empathetic perspective to each conversation—encouraging listeners to reflect on their own heritage, personal journeys, and the traditions they carry forward.
