I am not so sure what these writings will contain or how it will change over time.
All I know right now is that I am going to use these words to step into my power.
The power of my different identities…as an abolitionist educator, writer, Haitian, daughter, reader, friend, sister, niece, ally, cousin, neighbor, listener, wife… and the identities that I don’t even know yet or can’t remember at this moment.
The power of all the ways in which I find joy…through books, poems, movies, TV, natural wine, music, cereal, baking, long walks or talks or dinners with good people.
The power of all the ways in which I can heal.
Elle reves means “she dreams” in French.
Perhaps this space will be a collection of my dreams and radical hopes.
The dreams of what our world can be.
The radical hope that one day we will get there.
Here goes.
