Dear Haiti: You're Not Who They Think You Are

By Martine Harris

Belonging means acceptance as a member or part. As a child of a Haitian mother and African American father growing up in the suburbs of California and Colorado, Martine lacked just that; a sense of belonging. At twenty-two years old, despite what the media portrayed and against her family's wishes, Martine's curiosity about her self-identity led her to move to the country that bred her mother. Dear Haiti is a compilation of Martine's journal entries where she documented the awkward, controversial, humorous, and catastrophic events as she discovered the unfamiliar country which is her home.
