We Rip the World Apart
Charlene Carr
Growing up with immigrant parents who are still very connected to their culture and life in the Caribbean has always felt like a gift to me. Spending most of my childhood taking regular trips to Haiti’s vibrantly lush capital has given me everlasting memories of kompa music wafting through my grandmother’s kitchen as she prepared dinner for the whole family with my mom and aunts, while my siblings and cousins played with chickens and goats in the backyard. That love for the island remains with me and bolsters my appreciation for the kaleidoscope of vibrancy that is abundant throughout Caribbean culture. The complexity of the islands’ diverse beauty can be seen in the people, the music, the language, and the food—which is celebrated in our collection of emerging and classic writers. Whether you’re from the islands, have simply visited, or are dreaming of the day you will, there’s something here for everyone. —Mekishana Pierre, Audible Editor
