One thing I love about my people is the pride we possess, in anything that we do. This worker by the docks saw me taking pictures and flagged me down to take his. I’m glad he did. It is one of my favorites.
Mornings back home are my favorite, because the house is full of so much life, love, and good scents all around. The children are playing and having fun. Everything feels like love.
A lot of the homes I came across during this project took my breath away. Haiti has its own unique architecture, and the houses are always so bright and full of personality.
Hibiscus, Haiti’s national flower can be used in a plethora of ways, to make jam, tonic, or even tea. My family loves to harvest hibiscus and leave them out to dry in the sun to turn them into herbs to use as tea. The process has always fascinated me…
Peter, who lives in one of the houses in the neighborhood, is legally blind in both eyes and walks with a blind stick made out of wood. He gets around completing his daily errands with this stick, and is the sweetest man I’ve ever met.
Haiti’s roads are not the easiest, especially not to drive on. It takes elite skill and precision to navigate these dangerous roads. I always joke and say if you can drive here, you can drive anywhere.
