The recent significant earthquakes in South America have caused me to feel anxious. I am curious if others share concerns about the possibility of another major earthquake striking Haiti. We are currently unprepared, and our situation is considerably worse than it was in 2010.
Haiti is truly unique. It stands out as the largest self-governing predominantly Black nation outside of Africa and is home to the world’s largest population of Creole speakers. Unlike many other significant Black populations, such as Afro-Brazilians and Black Americans, who often find themselves as minorities in their societies, Haiti’s circumstances are distinctly different from those of most countries.
Toussaint Louverture warned us about this. He tried to tell Dessalines that branding Haiti as a pro-black country was unrealistic. Allies come in all shades and races. Labeling Haiti as a pro-black nation has caused more harm than good. Toussaint's dream was for Haiti to be a place for people of all races and for those fleeing persecution and slavery. It didn’t matter what your race or skin color was, as long as you were willing to help fight and build the country, like the Polish did. Now, Haiti carries this pro-black label alone. Look at how all of these predominantly black nations keep turning their backs on us. Allies and friends come from all races; it’s unrealistic to think that every Black person will automatically be your ally or friend. Just google Haitian passport index
Fun fact Haiti is the first Caribbean country to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2 times.
Phaedra is back to her lying, scheming ways. The whole situation with Kelli sleeping with one of Phaedra's pastor clients is reminiscent of Phaedra lying about Kandi in Season 9. Phaedra knows she’s about to get exposed, which is why she’s suddenly trying to help Kelli with her court problems involving her husband. She’s attempting to smooth things over with Kelli so she won’t get exposed at the reunion.
The daughter of these zois fled in fear and discomfort upon witnessing them arguing and fighting in the living room. This game is so realistic

I've been going to carnival with my parents since I was a kid. I think Haiti has the biggest carnival in the Americas and the Caribbean.
