Triana Ophelien - Administrator:

According to Anthony Brandt, Language fulfills so many needs for us: We can be mundane or lofty, can speak factually or philosophically, make specific observations or generalizations. We can describe our interior thoughts as well as the outside world. We can speak of events long gone or yet to be.

Music is often called the “universal language.” But if music is a language, what can it express? Studies have shown that listening to good music can be uplifting. Subsequently, as one becomes uplifted, and feels confident, that individual will want to smile; and the smile will enrich the one that receives it. Therefore, knowing the importance of both, music and smile, I decided to “begin with the end in mind” (Stephen R. Covey) by naming my show: “Le Sourire & La Musique”.

L'Heure de la Femme is a two-hour show dedicated soley to women who have impacted our lives through music. In the Haitian community we have gotten comfortable with the lack of female presence in our midst, thus it was important to have a show devoted to displaying the abundance of talent from women of all ages, all backgrounds and all musical gendres. In just one show you will discover a world that is familiar yet new, amazing yet different and radical yet calming.

L'Heure de la Femme opens a window to the diverse contributions of women like Martha Jean Claude, Toto Bissanthe and Fedia Laguerre while embracing the achievements of singers like Celia Cruz, Emeline Michel, Celine Dion, Yanick Etienne and Misty Jean. Breaking boundaries and introducing you to the female voices of yesterday, today and tomorrow is what L'Heure de la Femme is all about. Listen every Monday from 12pm - 2pm to indulge your senses, rewind your memories and ignite your desires during a 2 hour ride of discovery.

Blurbs About me:

Age: Immortal Sign: Taurus Origin: Beirut, Lebenon (Lebenese/Armenian/Romanian/Greek) DJ Eddy K's story is one that is decades in the making. He started as a resident DJ in Boston Club Called Cache which he had a great Sunday Night following called "DJ Eddy K's - Sunday Night Dance Party" . Then from there he venued to Club M-80, where in the 80's scene back in the days when M-80 ruled the international club set. DJ Eddy K. was on the turntables catering to the Euro/college crowd and realized he had a thing for mixing beats and all types of music for the masses. "You can't just play one type of music anymore. If you want to stay in this industry for the long run you need to manipulate the crowd and try and make everyone happy". His favorite style involves anything from house to hip-hop and mixing it with international sound beats.

His recent venues were every Thursday and Saturday nights behind the tables of Embassy down Lansdown street. Thursday nights were a Latin-loving ensemble of loyal clientele, many of whom tend to return on Saturday Nights for "World Peace Nights"! And also Friday nights at Caprice, were he spun the international tunes. DJ Eddy K. has been successful creating this opulent playground where that familiar atmosphere of good ol' days of M80 club has recently returned. The Philosophy DJ Eddy K has for his DJ career is simple: "I love to make people from different countries happy and to keep them dancing!" But after 911 everything changed for him - and the crowd at Embassy and Caprice have all changed! Just keep an ear out to listen when his next venue will be soon! If anyone is interested in contacting DJ Eddy K. for him to spin at your club - you may reach him at: Cell: 617-593-2029 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Fluent in three languages (English, French and Creole) and conversant in a fourth (Spanish), Martine has the incredible ability to mimic virtually any accent, dialect or speech pattern. Equally adept at comedic and dramatic roles, Martine's approach to her acting craft is to immerse herself in the character's past to capture the emotion of the present. Martine's experience includes television, film, commercials, print work and theatre.

Martine Jean's incredible journey to Hollywood is an inspirational story worthy of a feature film. Growing up in Haiti, Martine discovered her love of the theatre, and word quickly spread about the young girl's talents. Martine's breakthrough role was in the play "Parole de Femmes" at the National Theater in Port Au Prince. As the curtain closed, Martine realized that the amazing performance had changed her life forever. Martine began to make plans to move to the United States to pursue her craft.

Martine flourished in the United States, and was granted an academic scholarship to The Ohio State University. Martine did well at Ohio State and was accepted into law school after graduation. Three years later, Martine had a law degree from The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law. Always the big mouth, Martine successfully competed in national moot court as well as trial team competitions. She then joined the Columbus Black Actor's Theater, where she performed in "Wedding Band" and shined as Lady in Yellow in "For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide /when the Rainbow Is Enuff".

While practicing law in Ohio, Martine acquired an agent and landed several commercials, including featured spots for Charmin and Proctor & Gamble in the nationally syndicated PBS series "African American Lives", as well as industrials for Bath and Body Works. Martine also worked on several independent films and continued performing in theatre. Encouraged by her success, Martine realized that she needed to make the move to Hollywood to get to the next level. So with eyes full of dreams and a heart full of talent and passion, Martine packed her bags and made the journey to Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles, Martine completed Mike Pointer's commercial acting program and scene study at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. Martine currently studies improv at IO West. Martine currently appears in three indie films "Johnny Appleweed," "Living Will" and "The White Year"

Staff Member - Jasmire Gaetan:

Ottawa, ON

Dès l’adolescence, Jasmire Gaétan a été initiée à la Radio Diffusion. C’est par un concours de circonstance heureux qu’elle s’est vue offrir le poste d’animatrice à l’unique station de radio commerciale du département du Sud : la RDC, devenue plus tard, la RTC (Radio Télédiffusion Cayenne), sous la direction du Feu Marcel Mathieu. C’était en 1982. Depuis et durant plusieurs années consécutives, elle a su jouer différents rôles comme l’exigeait la réalité des médias régionaux où, par manque de ressources diverses, l’on est souvent forcé à porter plusieurs chapeaux. Tant mieux ! Ainsi a commencé pour cette lycéenneune longue carrière en communication.

1992 marquera un grand tournant dans sa vie lorsqu’elle a dû immigrer au Canada avec ses enfants. Là encore et très tôt, c’est à la radio de l’Université Carleton à Ottawa, qu’on l’a retrouve co animant « Présence haïtienne » avec Max Beaugé… Très sensible à la Ville des Cayes où elle a eu son baptême de feu, avec « Chanson Française/Chanson d’Amour », y revient-elle souvent et toujours prédisposée à reprendre le micro qu’on lui offre allègrement. C’est ainsi qu’on a pu l’entendreà diverses occasions sur radio Makaya surtout, d’où en appelle-t-elle à une Radio Diffusionpersonnalisée ou spécialisée, pour contrer la polémique là où, ce qui était plutôt rare jadis, pousse au présent comme des champignons.Simple question de survivre sur un marché médiatiquement engorgé.

Parallèlement à son rôle de parent unique, Jasmire Gaétan a pu compléter des études professionnelles en Psychologie et Travail social,Psychologie de l’enfant, en GRH et GP, pour ne citer que ça.Le journalisme dans la peau, c’est bénévolement le plus souvent qu’ellecollabore auxmédiascommunautaires/Presse parlée/écrite/télévisée. Très impliquée au niveau social, politique, culturel voire humanitaire, son engagement l’a conduite à Montréal où une large communauté haïtienne bouge au rythme du temps. C’est là justement qu’elle s’est affiliée à l’Alliance Théâtrale Haïtienne où elle animait entre autres, des ateliers de Communication et de Développement personnel au bénéfice des jeunes en difficulté d’intégration. Il y aplus de 5 ans qu’elle assure la relève à la SORHICA, palliant ainsià la retraite forcée de l’historien Gérard D. Montès, co-fondateur de celle-ci. À part le secrétariat des Éditions de la Sorhica, spécialisées dans la diffusion de l’Histoire d’Haïtiet de la langue créole d’Haïti, elle assume la direction des Éditions Chrysalide, dont elle est la fondatrice. Présentement, elle est Master Agent et Agent Autorisé pour le compte de CallDirek, une compagnie basée en Floride et spécialisée en vente de produits detélécommunication. Auteur de plusieurs titres à paraître, parmi lesquels la Trilogie « L’Esprit de Démocratie », « Dédicaces » ; un Essai sur les Primaires Américaines 2008 et plus encore, elle collabore avec Maisons d’éditions et auteurs pour desservir le marché ontarien en produits littéraires haïtiens, parmi ceux-ci le CIDIHCA, Haitian American Historical Society… Rien qu’à parcourir laroute que l’enfant rebelle des côtes sud d’Haïti a empruntée depuis son immigration au Canada, c’est de quoi convenir avec elle sur le fait que le bénévolatest un réel penchant vers l’Humanité.

En faisant le choix de poursuivre son tout premier métier d’une manière plus intensive et, qui pis est, à ce carrefouroù les exigences du quotidien laissent très peu d’espace à la sentimentalité ou aux fantaisies,Jasmire Gaétan, verte et ouverte,aurait une fois de plus démontré son côté indomptable, caractère qu’elle partage si bien, - reconnaissons-le, avec la Radio Diffusion elle-même, dans la façon dont celle-ci s’impose à l’heure de l’informatique. On dirait deux incontournables… Sûrement, pour celle qui reconnaît en l’Internet la plus grande révolution moderne, le Power1021fm.com fait tout aussi partie de l’avenir.
