"Mutual Love for the Latina Community" (Copy)

April 23, 2021

The definition of irreplaceable is impossible to replace.  Something that is so special, unusual or valuable, is simply irreplaceable.   

 This is how I feel about our minority families of Princeton.  All these families, from different backgrounds and situations, have made my life more complete.  I greatly value the opportunity I have been given to assist these families to help their lives run more smoothly.  It’s a rewarding experience that I will cherish forever--seeing the children’s happy faces makes my heart sing.  These families [have] been through some hard times and continue to face new challenges.  But, they face them head-on and with an attitude of perseverance and fortitude.  I value their eagerness to make better lives for themselves and their children, and I am so happy to be a part of their lives.  I can’t imagine my life without them.

La definición de insustituible es imposible de reemplazar.  Algo que es tan especial, inusual o valioso, es simplemente insustituible.

 Así es como me siento por nuestras familias minoritarias de Princeton.  Todas estas familias, de diferentes orígenes y situaciones, han hecho mi vida más completa.  Valoro mucho la oportunidad que se me ha brindado de ayudar a estas familias a ayudarles a que sus vidas transcurran sin problemas.  Es una experiencia gratificante que atesoraré por siempre: ver las caras felices de los niños hace que mi corazón lata.

Estas familias han pasado por momentos difíciles y continúan enfrentando nuevos desafíos.  Pero, los afrontan d con valor y con una actitud de perseverancia y entereza.  Valoro su entusiasmo por mejorar su vida y la de sus hijos, y estoy muy feliz de ser parte de sus vidas.  No puedo imaginar mi vida sin ellos.

"My Identity"

April 23, 2021

My personal experiences of assimilation, racism, and colorism were heavy loads for me to bear as a child growing up in a racist America.  For me, the traumatization these experiences caused, created a space wherein I resented the most beautiful parts of my identity---being Haitian, being Black, and being dark-skinned. 

I cannot pinpoint the exact moment I unapologetically walked into and pridefully owned my power and beauty as a Black woman. My self-acceptance happened gradually, but the sense of empowerment that has come with this type of self-love has been liberating and life-changing. I do know that it was a journey to achieve self-love.  

Additionally, my career in law enforcement has also inspired me to tap into my voice and power as a Black woman. I am currently the first and only Black female police officer in a town that is older than America itself. 

What is irreplaceable to me is my identity. In my fight for social justice it often feels that I am being forced to pick a side. I am more than my brown skin and have much more depth than my blue uniform.
