Kreyolicious: What was it like growing up Haitian-American?
Sara Clair: Growing up Haitian-American for me wasn’t as challenging until I got a little older. I grew up in Orange, New Jersey and in my surroundings were around mostly Haitian people. Some who just came to the states learning the English language or some that have been here for some years. All I knew was that I was Haitian, not Haitian-American. My mother instilled pride in me to remember where I was from and who I am and that I was not American, but Haitian. It became a little challenging when I got older and my parents decided to live in Atlanta. That is when I realize that I was very involved in my culture and I barely knew anything about the American culture but what I learned on TV, or a little from school. It was challenging when it came to views and understanding even when it came to the language I spoke.
