I study Haitian dance and, because I spoke of Our Lady of Czestochowa, I wanted to show a representation of her from Haiti, as the lwa Erzulie Dantor (protector, among other things, of abused women). She is a fierce spirit, to be sure. Note the similarities between this image and the one I posted yesterday.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
