Here is a sweet potato pie made famous by Patti LaBelle. It was not her singing that made it a bestseller. It helps too but her love of cooking and sharing with her fans and celebrity visitors that gives her cheese macaroni, Brisket, sweet potato pie and pot roast must-have soulfoods or dessert this holiday season.
It also took a Los Angeles-based singer, James Wright Chanel, who was tagged by a dubious network. He ended up seeing his name and Patti Labelle's name on the tagged product. He decided to go to Wal-Mart to purchase it. He also decided to review it on his YouTube account. As they say it, the rest is history. It must have been seen by more than 10 million views. Even Patti LaBelle called him to thank him for promoting her product, a collaborative project with Wal-Mart. Even Wal-Mart execs are happy with its customers' reaction and desire to consume the pie.

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. If you know a Madan Sara, then you can give her a voice here. Please keep it simple. If your mother, aunt, or neighbor was a Madan Sara, then you can join in.
