On this episode of S'ak Pase With Sophonie, our host dives into the depths of a topic many stray away from. LOVE! It's February and although Valentine's Day has passed, we are still basking in the season of love.

Did your Haitian parents speak to you about love or did they pass it off as an unspoken topic? How did having or not having this discussion impact your life? Sophonie and her family discusses love on today's episode about what it is, what it isn't and if they grew up discussing it. Want to learn more or chime in, well you have to tune in...
