There’s a lot of buzz about aliens & the Lizzo drama but are y’all following what’s happening in Africa? World history is unfolding right before our eyes. Neocolonialism is taking a big blow & France is losing its grip on the continent. The implications for Haiti are significant.

Haiti is the birthplace of human rights. Our ancestors fought for the rights of every black person in the world in the Battle of Vètyè on Nov. 18th, 1803. Haiti became the first nation to forever abolish slavery & then Haitians began their quest to free other enslaved Africans.🇭🇹

As we swam the kids were telling me how proud they were to be Haitian. They asked for a photo with the flag I brought. This canal is about agriculture but it’s also about identity. It’s a reminder of who we are, where we come from, & what we can accomplish when we come together🇭🇹

They get so upset when I say Haiti inspired the Négritude movement but even the non-Haitian co-founder Aimé Césaire said, “In Haiti…negritude stood up for the first time.” Yes, we’ve been conditioned to think less of Haiti but please do research before coming for me and Haiti.🇭🇹

I’m shocked to see the amount of Haitians in the diaspora who idolize Jimmy Chérizier (Barbecue). Am I missing something? Yes, he speaks out against US imperialism but he has power because of US imperialism. Moreover, he’s an embodiment of terror for our people. He’s not a hero.
