Dominicans Love Haitians Movement

Freedom, Autonomy, Community are just some of the flavors of the Haitian Revolution enchanting your taste buds. January 1st, while most of the world is celebrating New Year's day laid back after much midnight mass celebration. A group of people rises early in the morning on or before January 1st to start their celebration by purchasing large quantities of pumpkins as they prepare their meats, herbs, and vegetables, all in the name of freedom. Join Dominicans Love Haitians Mov...ement and Kafe Lourveture's owners Joanne Saget and Anthony Cunningham. We will discuss the importance of Soup Joumou as cuisine that commemorates the Haitian Revolution as the first successful rebellion in the Americas. And where it's people would be responsible for one another's survival. Kafe Louverture started when Joanne would make the patties for her clients. And people would come back to request more. The demand was so great that Kafe Louverture opened its doors for business in October 2015 in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. The restaurant is named after Toussaint Louverture, who started the Haitian revolution. In 2020 Joanne and Anthony left beloved Bed-Stuy to start newly purchasing a building in downtown Rocky Mount, North Carolina in the heart of the district during COVID to rebuild their business. The bakery made a name for itself in Brooklyn known for its mouth-watering hand-rolled Haitian patties that became the talk of the town. As the couple prepares to build out the new location, they plan on keeping things simple, offering their best and most popular items; a small menu will feature traditional Haitian Patties, traditional Soups, Haitian drip coffee, Haitian hot chocolate, herbal Hot and Cold Teas, spicy slaw and a Haitian hot sauce to heal the town this coming winter as they are known for comfort and healing foods. You can support them as they transition and build a new site through their GoFundMe. Please join us in this most lively discussion about cooperative economics, sovereignty, and land community building. Dominicans Love Haitians Movement is an art-based non-profit organization using various art modalities to unlearn racism and heal from colonization traumas. Our goal is to celebrate the beauty of our commonalities, forging a future free from tyranny. Please continue to support the work we are doing through our GoFundMe.
