Book excerpt: I am not Haitian because I was born in Haiti, I am Haitian because Haiti was born in me. -Anonymous After Haitian-American Author and Community Advocate Cindy Similien-Johnson met her102-year-old Haitian grandmother for the first time in 20 years, she embarked on a cultural journey to rediscover her Haitian heritage. It was through food that she felt a deeper connection to her roots. She reached out to her Haitian brothers and sisters from around the world and talked about their memories of cuisine, community, and culture. This volume is a culmination of half a decade worth of collecting, editing, and compiling heartfelt stories from more than 100 members of the Haitian Diaspora. Also included are the recipes of her top favorite Haitian foods from her childhood. It is with great hope that the stories contained in this book will be shared for generations to come, and cultivate the importance of passing down traditions, stories, and memories.
