ARTISTS FOR HAITI : RAGGA NYC campaigns for KOURAJ
ARTISTS FOR HAITI : RELIEF AND LOVE TO OUR HAITIAN FAMILY
We, Christopher Udemezue and Carolyn Lazard of RAGGA NYC, are raising funds for LGBTQ+ Haitians who have been affected by the August 14th earthquake.
Through crowdsourcing our extended communities and offering a print sale from RAGGA NYC’s chosen family of Caribbean diaspora artists, we aim to raise $10,000 for KOURAJ, an LGBTQ+ Haitian organization providing hygiene and food kits to the 1200+ LGBTQ+ Haitians affected by the earthquake.
RAGGA NYC, a platform and network for queer Caribbean artists, has set up a GoFundMe campaign and is offering prints to the first 30 people who donate over $200, the amount needed to fund a hygiene and food kit from KOURAJ for each of Haiti’s 1200+ LGBTQ+ people who have been displaced by the August 15th earthquake.
Gofundme!!!!!!

She is best known for her illustrations of plants and insects made as a result of her trips to the tropical country of Suriname on the north eastern cost of South America. via
The National Museum of Women in the Arts.
The History of Abortifacients. … in her 1705 book Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam, recounts:
The Indians, who are not treated well by their Dutch masters, use the seeds [of peacock flower (or flos pavonis)] to abort their children, so that their children will not become slaves like they are. The black slaves from Guinea and Angola have demanded to be well treated, threatening to refuse to have children. They told me this themselves.

M 7.2 – 13 km SSE of Petit Trou de Nippes, Haiti
The August 14, 2021 M 7.2 Haiti earthquake occurred as the result of oblique reverse motion along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone, ~125 km west of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. The earthquake occurred at shallow depths on either a reverse fault striking west and dipping to the north with a component of left-lateral slip, or a fault striking southeast and dipping to the southwest with a component of right-lateral slip. At the location of the earthquake, the local plate boundary is dominated by left-lateral strike slip motion and compression. The plate boundary in this location accommodates eastward, left-lateral motion of the Caribbean plate relative to the North America plate. Within this context, the earthquake likely occurred on the east-west striking, north dipping fault plane with a component of left-lateral slip.
