I am not Haitian because I was born in Haiti, I am Haitian because Haiti was born in me. -Anonymous After Haitian-American Author and Community Advocate Cindy Similien-Johnson met her102-year-old Haitian grandmother for the first time in 20 years, she embarked on a cultural journey to rediscover her Haitian heritage. It was through food that she felt a deeper connection to her roots. She reached out to her Haitian brothers and sisters from around the world and talked about their memories of cuisine, community, and culture. This volume is a culmination of half a decade worth of collecting, editing, and compiling heartfelt stories from more than 100 members of the Haitian Diaspora. Also included are the recipes of her top favorite Haitian foods from her childhood. It is with great hope that the stories contained in this book will be shared for generations to come, and cultivate the importance of passing down traditions, stories, and memories.

An accomplished trilingual children's and YA author, she is also an activist, op-ed and cinema writer, and keynote speaker.

These entries cover both her works and the prevalent themes of her writing, including colonialism, slavery, superstition, adaptation, dreams and coming of age.

A powerful, timely exploration of the art of living and dying on our own terms by one of Australia’s most respected voices Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we were all born and we will all die. We don't have a choice in how we enter the world but we can have a say in how we leave it. In order to die well, we must be prepared to contemplate our mortality and to broach it with our loved ones, who are often called upon to make important decisions on our behalf. These are some of the most important conversations we can have with each other - to find peace, kindness and gratitude for what has gone before, and acceptance of what is to come. Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at the end. With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy and staying true to our deepest convictions, Srivastava tells stories of strength, hope and resilience in the face of grief and offers an optimistic meditation on approaching the end of life. Intelligent, warm and deeply affecting, A Better Death is a passionate exploration of the art of living and dying well. Dr Ranjana Srivastava OAM is a practising oncologist, award-winning writer, broadcaster and Fulbright scholar. See www.ranjanasrivastava.com
