Dear Boston…it seems that all the great and exciting things always happen to you: The Boston Tea Party…Paul Revere’s ride, and oh, the Puritans strolling in and all. Now, you have yet another exciting thing to add to your list: Edwidge Danticat’s appearance at The Boston Book Festival.

Oh, Boston, must thy fortunes always be so advantageous?

If you’re planning on going, it’ll be at the Emmanuel Sanctuary in Cambridge at 15 Newberry Street on Saturday, October 24th, at 4 p.m.!

Don’t forget dear kreyolicious darlings that Edwidge Danticat released two books this year. You didn’t forget? Well, you know it never hurts me to remind you. She’s going to be presenting the theme “Youth and Recovery”, which is quite appropriate considering her novel Untwine.

Will you be there?

It’s been confirmed! Wyclef Jean, yes our Wyclef Jean, is going to be performing in Monaco during the Global Citizen Forum. Good for Clef! This is the conference’s third year, and I don’t believe they’ve invited a rapper before. The forum will take place October 8-9 at the Opéra Monte Carlo.

So, what exactly is the Global Citizen Forum? Well, it’s like a large scale conference where world leaders, business folks, thought leaders, and the like get together to discuss their thoughts on the global community.

Go Wyclef, go!

Still waiting on Clefication to drop, but still, go head on Fanfan.
