My name is not Katie

In light of the recent devastating Earthquake, a Haitian American verbalizes what many Haitian Americans are feeling today. Helplessness consumes us as our brothers and sisters suffer before our eyes.

About Me

I am Haitian: My given name is pronounced (Kah-Tse). In Highschool, I grew tired of the awful variations of my name and gave in. A decision I would come to regret. I told people to just call me (Katie)and I've been that ever since. I was born in Newark, NJ. I have always told people that I am Haitian. My family is first generation to come to the United States. They were all Haitians and so was I. I have had many a debate regarding my "authenticity". I am an American Citizen but I am a Haitian woman. I speak the language of my parents, Creole and French. I do my best to cook Haitian meals and practice good Haitian principles. I spent 6 months of my adult years living in Haiti as a member of a mission team. It was then, I fell in love with a people. I found the source of the river that flows deep within me. Listen...If you like what you are reading...Please hit the follow button to keep up with me...I love to hear your thoughts as well.
