The Thing About Haiti: Blurred Lines - Jamaica or Haiti

Discover what makes Haiti - a Caribbean nation with deep African roots, not just a place on the map, but a force, a legacy, a spirit that never dies. Find out how to powerfully carry pain and build beauty from brokenness.

“The Thing About Haiti” isn’t just a book; it’s a heartfelt reflection from a Jamaican soul moved by Haiti’s fire. It explores the shared roots, resilience, and revolutionary spirit linking these Caribbean cousins, bridging ‘yaad’ and ‘lakay.’ From kompa to reggae, the Maroons to Dessalines, it’s a tribute to pride born from struggle and culture shaped by courage. This isn’t a history lesson. It’s an invitation to see Haiti with fresh eyes and feel your own heartbeat in hers.

If you’ve ever carried pain with grace or built beauty from brokenness, you’ll find your reflection here. A love letter, a mirror, and a call to see truth beyond headlines and honor every thread in the Black diaspora.

Sa a se yon refleksyon ki soti nan kè... ou ka jwenn moso tèt ou nan paj sa yo.
