In 1791, enslaved people on the island of Saint-Domingue did what the world said was impossible, they defeated the most powerful colonial empire on earth. Not through luck, but through brilliance, tenacity, and an unbreakable will to be free. Warriors, and leaders like Sans Souci, Toussaint, Dessalines, Sanite Belair, and Catherine Flon led a revolution fueled not just by arms, but by a deep connection to their ancestors and the truth of who they were.
"The Fire That Freed Us: Haiti's Spiritual Revolution" is a 6-week course that tells that story in full, the history, the warriors, the spiritual foundations, and the ancestral force behind the only successful slave revolution in history. Taught from lived experience and a deep love for Haiti, it speaks to the struggle that continues today, and to the truth that Haiti's path forward lies in remembering the genius, courage, and fire that have always lived within its people.
