"The Empress of Haiti"

Bayinnah Bello tells a story about the life of Marie-Claire Heureuse Félicité, spouse of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the liberator of Haiti. The Empress is the namesake for the Fondation Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur, an organization started by Bello that seeks to facilitate a broader exchange of women's history in Haiti.
