Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Swearing-in of the first ever GwètòDe for the state of New York, Manbo Florence, by Konfederasyon Nasyonal Vodouyizan Ayisyen (KNVA) on 2/25/2017 at National Black Theatre in Harlem NYC. GwètòDe's are the clergy of Haitian Vodou, representing the interests of Haitian vodouyizan in a specific geographic region. In this ceremony GwètòDe's were sworn in for the state of New York (Manbo Florence Jean-Joseph), the state of Massachusetts and for Canada (Manbo Fabiola Abelard). KNVA is a Haiti-based organization that designates the Ati National, the head of Haitian Vodou and all of the vodou clergy, for certification by the Haitian government. The Haitian Constitution of 1987 gave Vodouyizan the same rights as practitioners of other faiths.
