Jennifer EUGÈNE: A Pen in Service of Humanity

Jennifer EUGÈNE was born in Port-au-Prince on May 1st, 1995. She is an author and lawyer by training, and she skillfully combines her two passions: the defense of human rights and writing. From a young age, she found shelter and refuge in words, offering solace against a world that is often too chaotic and difficult. While other young people of her age shared their lives out loud, she immersed herself in her own universe, that of writing. At the age of fourteen, writing became for her more than just a hobby: it became a means of finding inner peace, overcoming struggles, and understanding herself. It was in this context that she found her true vocation.

Writing, A Therapeutic Act

For Jennifer, writing is not just a creative act, but a way of discovering and rebuilding herself. "Poetry helps me discover myself," she confides. Thus, writing became a way for her to create her own world, a way to transcend personal difficulties and find answers to inner questions. By choosing to write, she discovered that it was writing that had chosen her. This path allows her to express herself, share her experiences, and find herself in a world where she can better understand her emotions, pains, and the complexities of human existence. Writing can also be a need or a desire, depending on the circumstances. Sometimes, writing is a therapeutic act, a necessity that emerges in the face of pain or loneliness.

The Literary Inspirations of Jennifer EUGÈNE

The authors who inspire Jennifer are many and varied. Dany Laferrière, Gary Victor, Marc Exavier, Yanick Lahens, and Fatou Diome are just a few of the literary figures who have marked her journey. These writers have influenced her own creations, while broadening her view of literature and culture.

Sekous Kè: A Book Born from Grief

Her book Sekous Kè is her second, published by the Csimon Publishing house in the United States. According to her, this book came to life after a difficult period of mourning. In other words, this book represents a form of therapy, a way to overcome loss and put words to the deepest pains. The publication of this collection is even more significant as it was supported by Csimon Publishing, a publishing house that played a key role in spreading her voice. Thanks to Csimon Publishing, Sekous Kè can hope to reach a larger audience, allowing Jennifer’s work to find a place in contemporary Haitian literature.

A Remarkable First Success

The success of Siwo lamou, her first book at the first edition of the Port-au-Prince Book Fair, where it became a bestseller, was a moment of great pride for her. This success marked an important step in her journey, that of a female author evolving in a society often dominated by patriarchal structures.

Sekous Kè: An Emotional Journey

Sekous Kè continues from the first, addressing profound and universal themes such as sadness, grief, absence, emptiness, and loneliness. These themes resonate with many people, as they touch on human realities that everyone faces at some point in life.

A Social and Feminist Commitment

In addition to her literary work, Jennifer EUGÈNE is an advocate for the rights of the oppressed. A lawyer by training, she actively fights for the protection of widows, orphans, and marginalized people, while also engaging in feminism, where she is a member of a feminist organization. Her commitment aims to denounce social injustices and use words, alongside her legal knowledge, as a means of struggle and comfort for her community.

Haiti, dream space.

Between dream and Haitian reality: A call for unity and action Many men have dreamed big for Haiti. Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines are examples. Although torn apart by invisible hands, the social fabric of the country had always been considered the greatest project to be set in motion by men of letters. Until then, the history of Haïti remains and remains for Haitians the most appropriate space to dream and propose full and complete freedom. Indeed, Toussaint Louverture had the dream of improving the lot of slaves. Dessalines, for his part, sacrificed himself for the independence of our island (Haiti-Saint-Domingue). After our liberation from the French, men of letters had to take other paths to safeguard the dignity of the country. This situation showed another form of revolution like poets of the patriotism school with supporters such as: Louis Joseph Janvier, Anténor Firmin, Demesvar Délorme and the Generation of the Round with Fernand Hibbert, Georges Sylvain also the indigenous school with Jean Price Mars, Jacques Stephen Alexis, Roussan Camille etc... who express their discontent by pouring ink. By describing or painting the situation of the country. Several years which were first conceived and then born the idea of ​​giving the country its sovereignty, its own bicolor, its army, etc. it was not easy and did not continue like this. Haïti needs for the moment men of dreams, men who love their countries, but not the wealth of this country, men who love the happiness of their country, but not its misfortunes, men who have viable projects , but are not specialists in carnage who are only interested in their pockets, rather for the happiness of our two-tone, men who must fight against corruption, against waste, against the invisible hands of foreigners, against this form of public administration which targets only a small group of people in the country to the detriment of the population, this form of insecurity planned by the state, the so-called bourgeoisies, economic powers from abroad such as: France, USA, Canada, Brazil. q~Haïti in 1979 with full power. Maître Fevry is said to have declared: The dream of Haïti cannot support, nor accept improvised solutions ~q. The Haitian’s dream must always be a team effort. A team of men of skill, vision, good will, reflection and meditation. q~ Men who can place their personal and private interests over public interests. Men who want to make a new start to achieve the dream of Jean Jacques Dessalines and that of Henri Christophe who aimed that Haitians will not envy any other country in the world so that all Haitians can be happy in their own country, chanted Professor Lesly Saint Roc Manigat.~q Our dear Haiti, which was once the pearl of the Antilles, is no longer present today. For this we ask all Haitians: children, young people, adults and old people, let us unite our arms, our strength, our voices and all that we could do to liberate our dear homeland Haïti Chérie. Let’s change our reality together! Long live Haiti, long live freedom for the whole world.
