Myriam J.A. Chancy, WHAT STORM, WHAT THUNDER
b'
Zibby is joined by Guggenheim Fellow, academic, and author Myriam J.A. Chancy to discuss her latest novel, What Storm, What Thunder. Although Myriam wasn\'t planning on writing about the devastating earthquake that hit her homeland of Haiti in 2010, she knew she had a story to tell after seeing the late LeRoy Clarke\'s artwork. Myriam shares her own experiences following the earthquake, a handful of the real-life stories that inspired her fiction, and how listeners can get involved to help the people of Haiti in their new time of need. One such way is to support FOKAL. Based in Port-au-Prince, FOKAL has partnered with their US 501C3,\\u201cAyiti Demen\\u201d to collect funds to be distributed to 20+ grassroots organizations in the Southern peninsula of Haiti. You can read their entire action plan, and donate here:
