'Mache ak Jwe Anba Lapli - Walking and Playing in The Rain' Book Review:

Linda and Lidya were close cousins. They were strong young girls. #Fanm djanm! #Gason ganyan! They were members of an extended Haitian family in Jeremie, a city in the Southwestern part of Haiti. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, son of a French nobleman and mixed-race slave and eventually a general of the French Revolutionary Wars, was also born there. Read their story in Haitian Creole and English and find out what they did when they got home despite their maid's instruction.

Let's pay a tribute to the women who are the pillars of the Haitian Econony. Let's give them a voice to the marketless vendors who give us the food and fruits we need in the cities and Capital of Haiti and elsewhere.
