Haiti's struggle for freedom and its profound impact on global history ignited a fire in the author.After graduating from Broward College, she pursued her academic journey at the Florida International University, where she earned a degree in International Relations. This degree opened her eyes to a broader view of global history, politics, and cultures, allowing her to connect the dots between Haiti's revolutionary struggle and the movements for freedom and equality around the world.Through her work, the author has realized that many children born in the Haitian diaspora are not fully aware of the profound history that shaped their identity.

Your Life Belongs to You
For many years I presented this story to my class of Montessori children ages 21/2 to 6. They loved it. I would only tell them a small part of the story each day as I laid out illustrations of the people and events in order of occurrence. I often gave them a cliffhanger so that they could contemplate and discuss what might happen next, as they eagerly awaited the next part of the story.No child should be denied knowledge of the history of his country. It is important for children to understand that what people have done in the past has an effect on how we live now. They need to be able to connect the dots--to see which prevailing thoughts led to fights, what ideas led to prosperity, what actions led to other actions, and so on.Our country has a unique history of men and women with the right ideas who had the integrity and courage to put those ideas into practice. If Western Civilization is to survive, this is a story that needs to be told and cannot be lost. - Charlotte Cushman
