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.

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.
