Just started a Haitian American Writers Group to see if maybe fugees in the New York City area might be interested in helping each other edit our works, get published and meet periodically to build together to help define what Haitian American literature is and isn't before someone else does it for us. Those who are interested can contact me directly at lifejak@aol.com or on Facebook where I'm also putting the word out. Gender, age, education, political views, religious or sexual standing not an issue. Just have something to say about being of Haitian descent and a passion for pan-african solidarity. Of course, knowing your griyo wouldn't hurt!
Thank you for visiting. Letters behind names don't mean much if they serve no use to the Community. But if letters make a way, I have a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from City College/CUNY where I was a student of Dr. Leonard 'Africana Studies' Jeffries and a Master's in Applied Psychology from New York University. Professional interests include urban/pan-African psychology, self- development, school retention, men's studies, and supporting same gender loving youth.
I'm a private man but I'll share this much with you-- I was born in the States, grew up in France, raised in Canada, and for some reason the American Southwest keeps pulling at me. I’ll continue sharing my books and images with you as I go, and you keep informing and inspiring as well. Somewhere along the way I’m sure we’ll connect. Until then, peace and gratitude.
