    Thank you, Maika.

    The demographics are a bit different now than when I was kid in Miami in the 80s. In my elementary and junior high, it was split almost an even 1/3 for black, white and latinx. I knew no “interracial” kids back then. Very few “others.”

    The Olde South crackers and Miami Vice/drug culture and hip hop culture didn’t marble together very well back then. I’m glad to see it’s gotten a bit more interesting in recent years.

    When I go back to visit my mom, there just aren’t as many black folks as there used to be, in her area.

    No love for Trick Daddy and Trina? They put riCk rOss on before people even cared about him.

    The Haitian cab drivers in Miami were a trip. On a ride home from the club, our driver leaned his head on his window because he was tired...while driving. I looked at the ID tag to make sure he was a real cabbie and his name was Kennedy Washington Lincoln. Another dude didn’t say one word to us when we got in and talked on a Nokia the whole time. We were already into the iPhone 4 by then. That’s how I knew we were definitely in Miami, LOL.

    The northern burbs were a trip too. I have never seen people working at Wal-Mart wearing grills. Shit looked like a Trinidad James video. It was surreal.

    Great Article Maika. I love eating Haitian food in Miami . Somehow tastes better than the restaurants in NYC.

    Nice to see Ayiti getting a shoutout. I’m a bit biased to think NOLA deserves the title though.
