Comedic Social Media Influencer Jessie Woo Talks Haitian Identity & Representation

Jessie Woo has climbed the social media charts with her hilarious skits. The Miami-raised Canadian, who is of Haitian descent, has also caught the attention of some for her cultural commentary, breaking down race and ethnicity as it pertained to the questioning of singer and reality TV star Amara La Negra’s identity.

“We are all one,” says Woo on Haitian-Dominican relations. “I think the quicker we realize that and act that way, and stand up for each other, the better it would be for all of us in the world.”

We caught up with the host of BET’s BET Breaks and Set Trippin to discuss her upbringing, debunking Haitian stereotypes, anti-Blackness and what inspires her comedy.
