An amalgamation of both her Haitian & Scottish roots, Voodoo Haggis is a moniker for Toronto-based freelance writer and entrepreneur Marie Fitrion. Meant to invoke thoughts around the most well known and misunderstood parts of her heritage, Fitrion's writing is an exploration of the histories, memories, traditions, myths, urban legends, fables, idioms, media clippings and literary tales, aimed at highlighting the link between food, culture, community and communication.
