@snowgirlie21 They probably paid YouTube. Money talks.

I thought you can only upload videos under 15 minutes long to YouTube. How did they post this?

@redtsika There is nothing wrong with the interviewer.. she is from a different time. In Haiti this is the way an interview is done. We let the interviewer speak. In America reporters try and show off and upstage the person they are talking to.

@angelrocks365 so true.. our voice is often obscured and blocked by the masses who merely see as a poor and helpless nation.. tres dommage

Edwidge is gracefully elegant and insightful, no wonder her work speaks such depths of craftsmanship. The interviewer, however, was a little awkward, very cut and dry. I kept wincing when she'd ask another question.

She is hands down among the top writers of the 20th century. She gets more props from me than Toni Morrison....I can UNDERSTAND her work !!!

GOD BLESS HAITI

That's a bad way to say the last word and attempt to disappear, thinking that you can not be contacted. Wrong. That's not the way to do it.

To prolong? Again, do not overestimate yourself.

Ass-holing for suggesting to have some Korean text in your channel's front page? Or, have you read some other ass-holing I've done somewhere else?

Now, tell me what E.Y. stands for. :---)
