I’m only on the preface and I can tell I’m going to consume this book in mind, body, and soul over the next week. A book like this should be standard for anyone who knows haiti, loves haiti, cares about the world, wants to learn about ethical fashion, and / or wants to travel the world. Thank you Julie Columbino.
