Haiti was Born in ME

"I wasn't Born in Haiti but Haiti was Born in Me", is a mélange of poetic pieces that accentuate Haitian Culture. Over the years I've become more passionate about Haiti's rich heritage. Pearl of the antilles, a hidden treasure along with its rich history. I want to share it with you in an interactive format that will allow you to see live performances, references, documentaries, movie trailers on the actual pages. You will be contributing to a physical product that will be used to tell our story of a resilient people in a literary and visual format. My goal is that Schools, Libraries, Universities adopt this resource in their respective departments and utilize it to educate all, create pride and self esteem in our communities.

 

My deadline to recieve funds to help publish the "Living Book" is April 1, National Poetry Month. The book will be completed before the Month of May which is Haitian Heritage Cultural Month to ensure an ideal release date of May 1st. I'll be performing, signing copies of the book that month. Thank You for your continued support.

 

To those of you who know me personally, you know how consistent I've been with promoting our Haitian Culture in a positive light through my art forms. This book is an extension of this work. There will be poems, illustrations, paintings, photographs, proverbs, a description of Haitian dishes and a calendar with important dates for us to remember. Please support me as I venture into publishing my first book. Your support is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You,

 

Mecca Marcelin
