Jennifer is a recovering undercover overthinker who thinks, speaks, and writes in lyrics. Jennifer started writing because it was a safe place for her thoughts and continues to write because it is a healing place. A place to process and debrief, to dream and plan, to question and investigate, to be free. With journals upon journals and blog archives full of musings on music, love, fear, and deep unadulterated joy, Jennifer is committed to the art of storytelling. A U.S.-born Haitian, she hopes that by vulnerably sharing her story, readers of her work, particularly Black women and girls for generations to come, will find a place to anchor themselves. 

​

Jennifer also supports other writers as a freelance editor and has worked on a wide variety of projects including marketing copy for PYNRS, a Black-owned performance streetwear brand and technical support for academics whose research is focused on issues largely impacting Black women. 

​

Jennifer, somewhat of a walking paradox, is a quiet observer who roars when she laughs. She is a lover of beautiful things like a fresh journal, CVS flowers, a good crewneck (even though hoodies reign supreme), Toni Morrison’s locs, and masterfully-curated art. Her heart bubbles to the brim for the people she is blessed to call home and for the music that feeds her soul.

 

Born and raised in Fairfield County, CT, Jennifer lived in Boston for a decade and didn’t realize she was a New England girl until she left. She has spent time living in Spain, Costa Rica, and Southern California, and has recently returned to her New England girl roots.
