Episode notes
The Haitian Revolution wasn’t just a political uprising but a spiritual war for liberation. In this episode, we uncover the vital role of Vodou priests and priestesses in organizing, guiding, and fueling the world’s first successful revolution led by enslaved people. Beyond the colonial narratives, we explore how Vodou was not just a religion but a powerful tool of resistance, strategy, and unity against oppression. Join us as we honor the legacies of figures like Francois Makandal, Dutty Boukman, Cécile Fatiman, and the countless other Vodou leaders whose names history tried to erase.
