  • I think it means the most to my students to see themselves reflected in the cover of books, sometimes for the first time. Or for the first time with relevancy and meaning. I’m excited to provide that to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I really care a lot about how they feel about it. And reading in general to me just means getting to share your story and that’s kind of what it’s all about. Right? Like this whole thing—life. It’s just story telling and that’s the meaning of life to me. // @katiemcsmelly #DearHaitiLoveAlaine
  • So, this brown girl is so important. One, she looks like me. She really looks like me. I wish I had on the red lip today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But she represents me, she represents my sisters, she represents my mother, she represents my aunts. It’s so powerful to see her image on book cases, on Amazon, on Barnes and Noble because we often don’t see ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reading is fundamental! I know y’all heard that one. But it’s so true. We learn so much. Reading can take us to a far off place. It can help us realize some of our thoughts, our fears. And in some cases it helps us heal too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reading has been a really helpful tool. And I feel like if I use the word tool, it’s almost an understatement. But it certainly has helped me throughout my life for various reasons. // Felice L. #DearHaitiLoveAlaine
  • It matters that there’s a brown girl on the cover of a book because you never see brown girls on covers of books. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And not only is it a brown girl, but it is a dark-skinned brown girl and that’s super important because you usually see people like me and you don’t see people like this. So, I think it’s just really beautiful. And shout out to the hoop earrings too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Books are everything especially when you choose to read them yourself because in school there are so many restrictions around what we can actually read and what we absorb. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And you rarely see people like this enter [books at] libraries and our schools. Just having access to something like this is super important because it furthers your world view. // @ashluckyyy #DearHaitiLoveAlaine
  • OMG time is flyyyiiinngg!!! 😱 Dear Haiti, Love Alaine comes out in less than two weeks! Have you preordered yet? Swipe through for a Dear Haiti teaser! ☺️
  • What it means for me to see a Black girl on the cover is that I’m immensely drawn to the book—I don’t care what it’s about. I’m probably going to pick it up and I’m gonna at least read it. If it’s not my genre, I’ll push through anyway just because I love this so much. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Books mean everything to me. They’re my world. They were my escape. I was a pretty nerdy and awkward kid and still a pretty nerdy and awkward adult. And books just help me to feel things that I need to feel and they say things I need to say.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The book that meant the most to me when I was a little kid, honestly, was Little Women. I loved that book because I wanted sisters. But I didn’t grow up at a time where there were a lot of really any books with Black females on the cover. And so that would’ve meant a lot to me. So this book and other books like it are important so READ! // @librarianbarbie #DearHaitiLoveAlaine⠀
  • Have you seen? Dear Haiti, Love Alaine is in @Essence Magazine’s September Global Issue! What an honor 😍 Be sure to preorder your copy today!
  • The cover of DEAR HAITI, LOVE ALAINE features our protagonist Alaine front and center. She is unapologetically black and beautiful! And it got us thinking: what does it mean to have a brown girl on the cover of a book? So we set out on a mini-quest where we asked a few women just that. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing their answers. Stay tuned!⠀
  • Scallions are the base for creating epis, the seasoning that gives Haitian food its distinct & delicious flavor. 😋 Today on the blog we’re talking how to make epis & rounding up some of our fave recipes from around the web. Hit the Culture link in our bio for more!
