Food & stories of Haiti
April 20 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Haitian Sos Pwa (Black Bean Sauce), rice, sautéed mushrooms, and fried plantains with stories inspired by Haitian author, Edwidge Danticat.
Haiti is lauded as the First Black Republic for taking its independence in 1804.
Whitney Frederic of It’s Seasoned is making us a classic Haitian dish, vegan-style, with fried plantains on the side. She lovingly follows in the footsteps of her foremothers.
We will pair this delicious food with the writing of Haitian author, Edwidge Danticat. Danticat writes beautifully about what it means to be “obliged to bear witness when countries of origin are suffering from violence, oppression, poverty, and tragedy.”
Enjoy food, music, and “reflect on art and exile.”
