My mother, Jeanette Leandre, a homemaker and tenant farmer, grew up in the village of Mapou, La Gonâve. My father, Jean Destin Lexima, a tenant farmer and stock raiser, came from the commune of Pointe-à-Raquette, also on La Gonâve. My parents met in Au Parc, fell in love, and gave life to me and my siblings. My mother often narrated the process of my birth, just like any other process of giving birth to a child; natural and painful. When I came out of my mother’s womb, there were smiles of joy; I was a sturdy child. My sturdiness touched my mother’s heart, bringing joy to her eyes; encouraging her to believe that her handsome baby was destined to not only see life but to grow up to be a man of self-consciousness, self-determination, and self-reliance.voir moins
