In this inspiring episode of RAMPLIFI, we sit down with the podcast’s first-ever veteran guest, Laurente Soliman 🇭🇹🎖️, a Haitian-born U.S. Army veteran who served 14 years in the military. With warmth, humor, and authenticity, Laurent shares her journey from childhood in Haiti to becoming a soldier in the United States. She opens up about Haitian culture, her love of traditional foods like fried plantains 🍌 and pumpkin soup 🎃, and the deep significance of January 1—Haitian Independence Day 🇭🇹. The conversation quickly moves into a heartfelt look at her life story: the moment a young Laurente was influenced to join the Army, the tragic loss of her father, her immigration journey to California, and the promise she made—to enlist the moment she received her green card. Laurente is now attending Victor Valley College 🎓, where she’s finishing up her education and preparing to start a career in Human Resources after graduation. Her story is a testament to courage, commitment, and the unbreakable spirit of someone determined to serve the country that gave her a new home.
