By now you must be asking yourself : Is that site turn what ?
No we are looking at the social and tell it like it is in the diaspora or inside Petite Riviere Artibonite/ Haiti. We are Haitian American, free to think, speak or record the fight for that Survival as People and Renaissance of our Haiti Cherie.
We do not fake it! We go to the roots of why 2 millions are under tents or living in unsafe structures at the”Center”. The cure is called: De —Central—ideation to Decentralization(means also integration of the Diaspora). It can be done from the bottom up.— Example: Medor where you may find great area for coffee plantation should be the focus to start if you want to export coffee from Jacmel to Paris and not start to make Jacmel only known for good port of coffee from Haiti when it is coming from these red mountains.
Also do not think as Miami as the “no culture—no speaking French place” when in fact it is the step for Konpa’s expansion toward that international recognition. Do not underestimate our market!!! and we may fool you–we speak French very much so please or we will go to school for it to relieve that defit!
Same as the South: Do not concentrate on Cayes, Jeremie, Jacmel only, but start by Abricots so you may be able to enjoy the fruits while going up and contemplating the Beauty of the “Arriere Pays” along with that Bleu-Green Caribbean Sea. Yes Haiti is a Pearl that we let it there like without any value while we wearing all the other jewelry because of our lack of appreciation for her, ouselves and each other. Born outside or inside, speaking Creole, French, Spanish or English it is with pride that we should say: “I am who I am and need no excuse”(Gloria Gaynor)—Haitian, Haitian American, Haitian Canadian, Haitian French ect era without shame of what we speak, where we were born or which other Nationality we detain.
It is the true feeling of the Rivartibonitians because in Petite Riviere Artibonite there is an acceptation of everyone with respect as long you are not a menace for society. In that:
- We speak Creole, French, English, Spanish and open any day for business except Sundays. Soon we will accept credit cards!!
- We invite everyone to come visit or stay as long that you can work hard for your money(Donna Summers)
- We party hard on week end and never miss a mass on Sunday so we may start a new week in good Spirit even though some of us may not always agree with the Sermon—since we enjoy also the Rara beat(like Ale/ Phantoms) if you know what I mean
- We eat and drink together at l’Estere Beach while listening to the D/J music or we cross the Artibonite river on a canoe(BAC) or take a taximoto for St Marc if we want salty fun at the Beach.
- We are youngs, beautiful dark and lovely people that know exactly what we want and can from far away read your mind. This is the Hammer: “Can’t touch this” By now you are thinking—That’s crazy! Our mind is ours and we do whatever we want with it and you may call it Imagination—-Free to think !!!
- Yes we are very analytical-wise-been there—done that—and give only one chance—-These people are not tell all like me (and you are lucky since I have to record it for Bibi)—They know their places—Petite Riviere Artibonite—and no mess up please—otherwise the Mayor Lucien Rollin Delva put you behind bars to rethink the process. That is why for this St Jerome I will stay away I will not mess up the trees at the Square of Fraternity with any goat or kids—I did not do it and nearly got arrested by the Director of the City which in turn called the Mayor so he could have the strenght to arrest me since I looked too heavy!
- We mimic: You good – we good- You bad- we bad—We are descent of Matrix.
- We are very supportive of each other but that does not stop the Competition like Ti Ghor Restaurant and Mont Carmel Barbecue of Ti Wal!
- We are racing toward progress—perfection—but we do not think of ourselves as God but Princes and Princesses!
- After all why I am telling you all that? Come back tomorrow for more
