BOOKS WRITTEN BY DJENANE SAINT JUSTE, A BLACK HAITIAN ARTIST IMMIGRANT WOMAN IN MINNESOTA, USA.
Women are historically underrepresented in literature, therefore, reading books written by women is essential for everyone to bridge this gap and understand the experience of women. Djenane Saint Juste, a black Haitian, artist, immigrant woman who currently reside in Minnesota, self published two multilingual children's books "Lasirèn ak Labalèn" - The Mermaid and The Whale & "Ti Sonson ak pouvwa tanbou"- Ti Sonson and The Powers of The Drum. These stories create an opportunity to experience Haitian and Afro-Caribbean culture, challenge stereotypes, dismantle biases, and provide nuanced portrayals of Black communities and individuals. By learning through stories, young minds embrace cultural diversity and cultivate a global perspective that values inclusiveness. These books written by a native of Haiti also help children learn empathy and understanding by showing them the lives of others who may have different experiences than them. Seeing themselves represented positively gives children hope that they can be whoever they want to be, regardless of their race or other characteristics. Come on out, order a book for you, your family, your school, your library, and community, spread the love, and let's make memories that shine brightly in the tapestry of celebrating Haiti and Afro-Caribbean culture!
