The conversation explores the journey of my cousin Junior from Haiti to the U.S., detailing his experiences in high school and college, his love for sports, growing up with a strong, stern mother, and the cultural influences that shaped him. It delves into his fraternity life, nightlife in NYC, and the challenges of dating and relationships as a young adult. The discussion also highlights his passion for photography and recent experiences in the field, culminating in a reflection on life lessons and future aspirations.Follow Junior and see his photography on IG https://www.instagram.com/jcasimir3?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== @jcasimir3Chapters00:00 Cousin Connections and Nicknames02:58 Growing Up in Haiti vs. America06:02 Influences and Role Models08:50 Life in Delma: A Childhood Perspective11:59 Transportation and Community in Haiti15:07 Navigating Childhood Restrictions18:08 Reflections on Family Dynamics21:01 Understanding Dictatorship Through a Child's Eyes24:07 Memories of Neighborhood Legends27:04 The Impact of Shelter on Social Skills29:53 Observational Learning and Life Experiences33:50 Navigating Childhood Activities and Independence35:29 The Impact of Strict Parenting on Self-Perception39:02 Understanding Parental Pain and Generational Trauma49:03 Transitioning from Haiti to the United States54:08 Cultural Experiences and Social Dynamics in Haiti01:08:36 Transitioning from Haiti to the U.S.01:09:12 Cultural Shock and New Experiences in School01:11:41 Choosing St. John's University01:12:09 Navigating College Admissions and Challenges01:14:02 The College Experience: Pledging and Fraternity Life01:25:44 Adjusting to College Life and Social Dynamics01:30:09 Nightlife and Party Culture in College01:37:33 Memorable Road Trips and Events01:38:32 Freaknik and Mardi Gras: A Cultural Comparison01:45:54 Navigating Young Adulthood in New York01:52:50 The Importance of Social Skills and Adaptability01:56:28 Life Lessons from Relationships and Marriage02:02:12 Experiences in Photography and the Music Industry
