Tranbleman tè 12 janvier 2010 se yon eksperyans anpil nan nou Ayisyen afekte pa li. Menm si moman sa pa afekte nou tout menm jan se youn nan eksperyans ke anpil nan nou gen “en commun”. Samantha Junie Pierre se yon jèn fanm vanyan epi angaje ; li se yon militant pou dwa timoun ak fanm andikape. Samantha renmen lavi pase tout bagay menm si lavil pat toujou fasil. Lap viv ak yon andikap depi tranbleman tè 2010 la e depi lè sa lap eseye vanse san okipe l de rega sosyete a sou li.

Samantha kwè ke diferans ak divèsite se yon bèl bagay e dapre li si yon moun pa aksepte l ak diferans li pwoblèm nan se kay moun nan li ye se pa lakay pal.

January 12, 2010 is inarguably a date that has left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of Haitians around the world. It only took 35 seconds to change the course of life and decide to live purposefully. Our guest this week, Samantha Junie Pierre, was going about her daily routines when tragedy hit and caused 24 hours to last 3 days. It would take 3 days to get her out of this ordeal by breaking the neighbor's wall. Pulling Samantha from under the rubble also involved a task that no one ever looks forwad to in this life; using a saw to remove the lifeless limb trapped under a gate for 3 days. Desiring to survive at all cost, Samantha even offered to take matter into her own hands. She was pulled out in one piece with her left arm in such bad shape that it would later be amputated above the elbow, one finger at a time. Now an amputee, she will face the very unsolicited yet readily available stigma that society inflicted upon her. But her zeal for life is what keeps her fire ablaze to take full advantage of this second chance. Today, she is an activist and work for an organization that provides support for people with disability.
