The program features a conversation between two Miami Herald journalists: Senior Reporter Jacqueline Charles and Senior Photojournalist Carl Juste. Their discussion will explore the importance of place for immigrant communities in Little Haiti and the challenges they face, including climate change, deportation and gentrification.
Complementing the journalistic perspective, attendees will also enjoy a musical performance by artist Inez Barlatier, adding a cultural dimension to the exploration of Little Haiti's community identity and ongoing transformation.
