From a young age, Dr. Carlo Charles has been interested in the human experience, first exploring that curiosity through art and storytelling.
As a boy growing up in Haiti, the sociology professor wrote songs, poetry and plays. By age 14, he had formed a theatre troupe of about 25 friends and staged plays at local churches for the community.
