Manze Dayila’s skirt of veves ♥
Dressed to the nines in a black suit, face painted half white-half black with a cross on each cheek and donning dark sunglasses, Gede, the spirit of life, death, and transformation, began to appear every November first, thanks to Dayila. Some Haitians were shocked that a woman would take on this role; others were deeply moved. “When I reached the subway, people really paid respect, and I felt so big. I felt pride and joy, to see how people received it.” It’s now an annual tradition.
