The prestigious Caribbean Studies Association Conference was held in Port-au-Prince over the weekend. Organizers say that it’s the first time in the Association’s history that this conference is taking place in Haiti. Literary star Edwidge Danticat was reportedly present, as well as legendary activist Angela Davis.

CaribBeing founder Shelley Worrell, who has roots in Trinidad, created a video diary for the trip, and will be sharing it with audiences in Brooklyn.
