Haiti is a very special country. In 1804 it became the first black democratic country in the western hemisphere.

I was born in the United States. I am an American and proud to be one. I was adopted and do not know my birth heritage, but I am so impressed by the spirit and the accomplishments of the many Haitin people I have had the opportunity to meet, and so respectful of all they do to raise awareness of Haiti, that I have come to feel a that I am one with them.

Haiti is a very small country, so small that many people do not even know where it is. Others know it only for its struggles with poverty and political upheaval. There is so much more to know and understand. I try to use who I am to reach out to the people of Haiti, to support all those who are working for a brighter future for its people, and to celebrate the spirit and the achievements of so many Haitians that have always and will always define the true character of this country.
