The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

Winston Churchill

We cascade through the shades of the universe like despots traveling on the plane to nowhere. Seashells in the Caribbean to the rocks in Prague. A universal connection that engages our souls, experience and thoughts.

We are all writing our novels and leaving a legacy for the next generation. Colors and shades are interpreted in our lives and shown to the world.

I have been navigated through the airport security since I was born. I come from a family of refugees. I am of Haitian-French descent. Artistically I have created and imagined all the places that I have traveled too. My passport is my best friend.

 I am a Writing student at The New School University. My study is in International Human Rights.  I have interned for several human rights organizations. My central focus is refugee rights, asylum rights, human trafficking, disability rights,  and gender-based-violence.

I will be graduating  this May at the New School University. My interest is in  International Human Rights.

My future endeavors is to become a writer.

I have  written prose, poems and creative nonfiction exhibiting atrocities around the world.  I have connected the dots in the lives that have worked with and through my own personal experience.

The reason that I have chosen to take this class is because I have worked with several Cambodians and have found them intriguing and they have a story to share.

Also, I enjoy painting, traveling, going to museums and learning different cultures.

Creation, innovation and inspiration are my motivation. Passion is desire, and I have a desire to live my passion.
