My Background and Writing Journey

Growing up on the picturesque island of Haiti, I was immersed in its rich cultural traditions from a young age. My education, rooted in Haitian schools, provided me with a deep appreciation for my heritage and an early connection to storytelling. Storytelling was a cornerstone of my childhood. Almost every evening, my family would gather to share tales, jokes, and folktales. My grandmother, a masterful storyteller, was my greatest inspiration. Her vivid stories sparked my imagination and planted the seed for my own creative journey. By the time I was a young girl, I was already writing poems and crafting stories, and my father’s encouragement led me to dream of becoming an author. As a student, I embraced my passion for writing wholeheartedly. Journaling became my favorite pastime, and I recorded my thoughts, experiences, and adventures in countless diaries. By middle school, I had written my first book, which, while never published, was shared and cherished by family and friends. In high school, I founded a writers’ and book club with a small group of friends at Collège Saint Louis de Bourdon in Haiti. We read and critiqued each other’s work, exchanged ideas, and held one another accountable to meet writing deadlines. This supportive community nurtured my love for storytelling and solidified my commitment to becoming an author. Over the years, I have written numerous stories across genres such as adventure, fantasy, mystery, and historical fiction. While many of my early works remain unpublished, I still have them safely stored and look forward to sharing them with the world someday.
