Pivotal Life Moments
I am from Haiti. My family is Haitian. Five months
after my birth, my parents decided to leave Haiti.
There was a brutal dictatorship that was violating
civil rights and there was a lot of violence. My
parents were activists and didn’t want to raise their
children in that kind of environment. They left
my sister and I, settled in DC, and after getting
established they sent for us three years later.
What’s crucial about that is:

2. Being born to my parents
3. My parents’ courageous decision to leave
their children, get settled, and then send for
their kids
