TKAM #782 Happy New Year #MotivationMonday

Summary: 1.1.18 It’s a new year! Bondfire Radio turns five years old! And it’s Haitian Independence Day! You know what made this even better? Cathleen Antoine and Regine Romain from the Wa Wa Wa Diaspora Center were here to talk about reclaiming the triangle that was created by the slave trade. Both of these women take us down the story of Haiti’s revolution, independence, rise and fall, challenge our views on formal religion, voodoo, and the present. It’s a moment to feel the ancestry, because life is built on the ancestry that was there. Sit back, and enjoy. Sak pase! It’s a brand new year. #MotivationMonday RUNDOWN 0:00 #SONG: Chuck Brown - Beautiful Life ft.
