What are your areas of growth? How are you strategizing your improvement?
As a young negresse from a country that has always been stigmatized, I feel like I owe it to my ancestors and those who invested in me to always be on top of things. They fought for me to be here, so the least I can do is not waste the space I occupy on this planet. This has been my narrative since I was a little girl. Consequently, I have been committed to transcendence for as long as I can remember.
I credit myself for being a growth guru. I am obsessed with becoming the best version of myself. However, if I am being totally transparent, this mindset also makes me EXTREMELLY impatient with myself.
I set goals, milestones and a timeline. Whenever things do not happen as I anticipated, I get down; I internalize my miscalculations as failures.
Frankly, this happens more often than I would like to admit.
Indeed, I have those days. Days when I am down, not feeling my best self at all. It usually takes me a moment to realize that ephemeral melancholy is more harming than constructive.
Missing a milestone does not reroute me. Whether I miss or reach a milestone, I will still reach my destiny.
In addition, I am just a drop of water in an ocean. God has this whole thing figured out. Therefore, I should leave him in charge of the timing.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”― Friedrich Nietzsche
Well, there is a constant upbeat melody playing in my head, so I am always dancing (Literally). In other words, I am a big ball of energy most of the time, and I live for prodiguous moments I can’t put into words.
I am a spiritual and adventurous woman with endless supply of energy and also an amateur at many things, dancing, writing, cooking, filmmaking, etc… I also have an insatiable thirst for learning, traveling, meeting new people and listening to their stories with gratitude, respect and attention.
I was born and raised in Haiti but became a nomad at 15, when I moved to USA, an experience that changed my sense of who I am as an individual. Consequently, I am now navigating through life independently in Europe. I like to put myself in new and intriguing places, and activate my brain in new ways through interesting and meaningful conversations with others.
I have spiritual outlook about everything. I also firmly believe that God created me to be a valuable addition to mankind, to use my time, talents and energy to serve others and affect their lives positively. This is what drives my daily efforts. I am still learning how to be useful, but in the process, I want to share with you the collection of outrageous stories that is my life.
Let’s journey together!!!
