In the best way we could possibly have imagined to begin our "on the ground" interviews for this podcast to bring the Haitian voices to the public, we are honored to have our very long time and dear friend, Djalòki. Djalòki Dessables (he/him) is a Creole from Ayiti (Haiti) with Taino, African, and European ancestry, Ayisyen 1,000 percent, to share about his life, his family, his vision of Ayiti, complete with his special vision for humanity. Djalòki's current work is as he describes on his website: "If you feel that there is more to you, to life, and to "reality" than what you are told, what you perceive, and what you think you know, and you want to expand your experience and understanding of how you fit in and are connected with the universal webs of consciousness, Djalòki The Awareness Expansion Coach℠ may help you tap into your inner knowing and capacities that will allow you to remember and manifest your Soul purpose. The time is now, if that is your choice.” Some links to our music: for the Intro and Outro portions from our band 2 Rasin or 2 Roots album, the short clips are by Chou Bwa Libète, a Haitian cultural band and just some of Ron's sweet fingerpicking of the Haitian folksong, Ayiti Cheri. We know we are still novices at this audio editing but believe that you, the listener, will forgive the bleeps, bumps, hiccups and authentic "on the ground" street noises along the way, all in the name of remembering and hearing the voices of the remarkable people of Haiti.
