Anne Christine d’Adesky is a Haitian-American journalist and activist with a focus on Haitian affairs and AIDS awareness. d’Adesky has been a correspondent in Haiti for The Village Voice and the San Francisco Examiner where she reported before and during the nation’s devastating earthquake. In 2010, in the immediate aftermath, she went to Haiti to get a visual of the status of things and went on to start Haiti Vox, a site dedicated to reporting about Hispaniola’s starkly different nations, the legacies, and health and wellness demographics.

 

Aware of the rife nature of HIV/AIDS in Haiti, the journalist-activist covered stories about the issue as early on as the mid-90s. She’s been featured in publications like New York Native, In These Times, and The Advocate. HIV Plus is a magazine that d’Adesky launched in 1998, devoted to LGBT rights, treatment, and prevention. In addition to her disease and disaster outreach, the journalist/ activist has advocated for women’s and LGBT rights. She’s one of six founders of “The Lesbian Avengers” which commenced in 1992 in an effort to focus on issues central to the visibility and survival of lesbians.

 

d’Adesky continues to advocate for, report on, and research about Haiti with an increased focus on women seeking refuge for a number of publications.
