20 Jan 2010Have you considered how you are talking with the children and youth around you about Haiti? Are you looking to read books written by Haitian authors*? Then this information is for you! My homegirl Aiesha, media maker and creator behind Super Hussy Media, sent this link to amazing age-appropriate resources (for all ages) for those people who are instructors/educators or parents/mentors who seek to learn how to teach about Haiti. There are also great resources for self-education regarding Haiti.
If you are a professor I encourage you, and echo Prof. Susurro, to consider doing a Teach In regarding Haiti. Here’s an example of one going on in NYC at the Brecht Forum.
*Shameless plug for my NYC Caribbean book club called Date With A Book. If you are seeking authors I encourage you to check out the books we have read and are going to read or contact the creator Marcia directly. Tell her you found out about the book club from me!
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.

Wonderful resources. I am really saddened by how little schools here in NYC are talking not just about what happened but about the actual country that is much more than just a place of natural disasters
