I take the responsibility as a narrative nonfiction writer to merge truthful content with writing instruments that hold the readers’ interest.
My English degree led me to marketing and raising funds for 25 years. I pursued, in 2000, a Masters in Fine Arts, with a focus on Social Art — a practice that is collaborative, often participatory and involves people as the medium or material of the work. Words played a significant role in its documentation.
In 2007, I co-founded Yonn Ede Lot, a nonprofit organization in Haiti. Our partnership with Haitian associations to encourage leadership became the subject of my book, “Give & Take: Doing Our Damnedest NOT to be Another Charity in Haiti,” published 2015.
I continue to write about people and their communities, here and abroad, using reported or personal essays as the primary form.
