And for all the things including my weekly newsletter, visit dcolin.com The poem I share in this episode is called "Sacred Land." I was thinking about Jean Jacques Dessalines and the women who contributed to the Haitian Revolution. The only didn't name in the poem and I may write an entire poem just for her is Cecile Fatiman. She alongside Dutty Boukman led a Vodou ceremony at Bois Caiman which marked the beginning of the Haitian Revolution. Really what's important here is that enslaved Africans held the first major meeting that would lead to their independence from France and Cecile a woman was at the helm. The women I do mention in the poem are Victoria Montou, a Dahomey warrior and revolutionary fighter in the army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Marie Sainte Dedee Bazil also known as Defilee who marched with and sold provisions to soldiers and Catherine Flon who we can thank for the creation of the Haitian Flag.

    Ep. 27: Poem: Washington & Swan

    Welcome to episode 27 of d.colin.ized! my personal creative podcast space for poetry, purpose, process, and creative power. I am D. Colin, poet, visual artist, and storyteller, bringing you reflections, rants, and real talk from my multi-hyphenate creative life.

Here’s the link to the page from the National Coalition for the Homeless page that I was reading from: https://nationalhomeless.org/trump-administration-issues-executive-orders-that-fundamentally-misrepresent-homelessness/ I also read some things off of the White House Page for the executive orders that I reference. It’s called Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets and is searchable. I hope where ever you are, small joys fill you throughout this week. Until next time, D.
