The Ultimate Purpose Of A New Immigrant's Life

The Ultimate Purpose Of A New Immigrant's Life is the autobiography of a Haitian teenager's way of life before emigration, when her family's equilibrium was suddenly disturbed by her father's death. As the youngest of her family of eight, she was looking at all her siblings, trying to find in one of them the father she just lost. The memories Freda captured of all siblings, relatives, and neighbors speak of the culture and the resulting imbalance she lived--role changes that were taking place within the family. Each sibling rose to their best self but eventually immigrated to the states. She took along with her the childhood tunes of long bygone days referred to in "Childhood Memories." We enjoy singing them while vacationing or at our family reunions. From early on in life, Freda chose to grab hold of the pearls of wisdom found in spirituality. This vital connection prayer has graced her with five life miracles during her life. She does not take for granted all the divergences and convergences of the actors in her life sceneries. She is thankful knowing they are part of the ultimate plan of God and for her own good. Career development and challenges were many through her immigrant's lens. Divine intercession is clear in her struggle with marital life commitment within a generational shift in family relational values from Haitian old culture to a mix of many. It has been a long journey from her native land to Boston and to Florida as a transition of twenty-six years, rich in community activities, spirituality search, connection, and growth. Cultural longing fostered the creation of the citronelle tea, a reminiscence of homeland childhood enjoyment. To God be the glory. The return home is very tumultuous as years creep on and the neocolonial boycotting agenda for Haiti continues to chase patriots away from their dreamland since 1803. The first Black republic is being drowned by its former slave-keeping nations still in 2022. The collective journey continues.
