Who is Kouzinn from Mama Lola: A Vodou Priestess in Brooklyn and what is their importance?

Kouzinn is the female counterpart to Azaka. She is one of the few spirits who have no Catholic counterpart. Mama Lola does not throw an annual feast for this spirit. She is a market woman, a machann. She has a keen business sense, a key survival skill for the poor women in Haiti. The savings that a market woman scrapes together are the only security she can depend upon for herself and her children. The emphasis in speaking about Kouzinn is upon the economics of Haitian women's lives.
