Workbook
For Haitian Families in Latin America
The Migration Nobody Covers and the Prejudice Everybody Ignores
Haiti gave the world its first Black republic. We documented what that means to this family.
For Haitian families in Latin America—in Chile, Brazil, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and beyond—raising children who know who they are in a region with no guide for them.
The Name It First Experience
Haitian families in Latin America carry one of the most layered diaspora experiences in the hemisphere: being Black in mestizo-identified countries, anti-Haitian racism specific to the region, and the pride of the first Black republic. This workbook names what your family lives with and what it carries. You inventory your heritage. You confront invisibility. You draft and sign your Haitian Family Record. The output is not a complaint. It is a declaration.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does Haitian identity mean when you're in Chile, Brazil, or the Dominican Republic — and the racism you face there adds another layer to the one you already carried?
- What from Haitian culture does your family most want to preserve — the Kreyòl, the traditions, the pride of being from the first Black republic?
- What would it mean to name, in this new country, what being Haitian means — for yourself and for your children?
Research basis
Grounded in Brah (1996) diaspora cartographies, Cross (1991) Nigrescence theory applied to Haitian Black identity, Berry (1997) acculturation theory, and Zéphir (2004) scholarship on Haitian identity in diaspora contexts.
