On January 1st, Haitians living in Haiti and abroad will be celebrating Haiti’s 217th Independence Day which also coincides with New Years Day. On this day, many Haitians will be consuming Soup Joumou also known as The Freedom Soup which is a flavorful, comforting, traditional, and symbolic dish to commemorate defeating Napoleon’s army and becoming the world’s first Black republic. In honor of this celebration, Shana Jeannot-Thomas, Founder and Creator of The Global Taste was inspired to celebrate her heritage by launching The Freedom Project to highlight the diversity of Haitian professionals and celebrate their contribution within the Food x Travel x Culture industries through photography and audio storytelling answering the question What Does Haitian Independence Means to Me?
