Ce premier week-end d’octobre, Washington était le point de conjonction de plusieurs dizaines de femmes haïtiennes venues de divers endroits des États-Unis afin de participer au “Haitian Ladies Weekend”. Ce qui ne fut au départ qu’un brunch entre amies il y a treize ans a évolué pour devenir un des grands moments de retrouvailles de la diaspora féminine haïtienne chez l’oncle Sam.

On Sunday, October 8th, Ambassador Paul Altidor and the Haitian Ladies network hosted the 12th annual “Haitian Ladies Brunch” at the Embassy. What started off as a small gathering of a few friends is now a memorable occasion of friendship and fellowship among hundreds of Haitian and Haitian-American women from all over the country.
