I played trombone and marched with the Spartan Legion Band. To say that I love NSU would be an understatement. My four years at that institution made me who I am today and I am eternally grateful. I'm an advocate for HBCUs and also a lifetime member of NSU's Alumni Association.
In 2015 I ran my second political campaign. My client received the highest number of votes, ever, in the history of elections in the Virgin Islands. That record still stands.
I discovered the land of Toussaint Louverture in high school through the writings of Edwidge Danticat. My first book was Krik? Krak! then The Farming of Bones, and so many others that personally recount the beauty and resilience of the people and the island. I first visited to support recovery work after the 2010 earthquake and have since been back several times. Each time I've been in complete awe of the spirit of Haiti.
