Last week's episode and this weeks episode will be available for download sometime during the week. Until then enjoy the show tonight! BLESS
By now we all have heard of the 7.2 earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince Tuesday morning. This is an event that has truly touched the whole Haitian community. The deathtoll lurking in the hundreds of thousands people from Miami to Brooklyn to Canada and even here where I live in Spring Valley have all been touched in one way or another by this chain of events. Haiti has suffered for a long time but this is simply a catastrophe of which Haiti has never seen before. We send our prayers out to all who are looking for family and all who are in Haiti right now. Haiti was the first country to free themselves from modern slavery we can not forget her! We can not continue to ignore her. Be careful of which charities you give to. Give whatever you can from clothing to canned goods and money. Anything you can do to help will go a long way.

This is a song I did with my brother and a friend of mine (Greg Serenade) a few years ago. An ode to Haiti from the point of view of the diaspora. I personally have never been to Haiti but i don't feel any less Haitian than any other Haitian because the culture was instilled and I wanted to reflect that with this song. The song was produced by my brother Razah (Guy Raoul Jr. ).
Long live the Haitian community. Love, Power, Peace and Strength
