For my latest article for @BBC_Culture, I wrote about the women freedom fighters of the Haitian Revolution. Women like SanitΓ© BΓ©lair who had bravery, determination and dedication against all odds for the liberation of #Haiti. Very proud of this piece bbc.com/culture/article/2024β¦

1/ During the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD), members of imperial family were buried in jade burial suits. Jade was believed to possess magical properties that would protect the body from decay and ward off evil spirits. This suit is constructed of 4,248 custom-cut jade pieces connected by gold wire.
