The desire to teach my children Haitian Creole led to the development of Speaking Creole. I wanted them not only to understand Haitian Creole, but also to develop a deep respect for the language and to recognize that it has a meaningful place in their lives, in society, and in academia.
Haitian Creole is more than a means of communication; it is a beautiful, evolving language rooted in a rich and complex history—a history shaped by blood, sweat, tears, resilience, and the enduring strength of the Haitian people.
