Within these eloquent pieces, Fritzinie Lavoile weaves her deep love for Haiti, her homeland, and her personal story of immigration. These words lay bare the struggles of not belonging, these verses vividly portray the sensation of drowning in unfamiliar waters and the search for identity. Amidst grappling with cultural appropriation, where heritage often fades into trends, Lavoile fervently underscores the importance of embracing one's origins, language, and unique identity.
