Two books.
One unlearning.

My writing moves from the heart to the mind. The first book asks what we share beneath the divisions we inherit. The second asks which beliefs we have to unlearn before healing is even possible.

Together, the two books map one journey: from faith-centred humanism to a rigorous interrogation of history, culture, and the beliefs we never chose.

Alike Regardless asks what it means to see our shared humanity beneath the divisions we inherit — unity through love, self-reflection, and the courage to confront hatred. The Colonization of the Mind goes deeper, tracing how colonial systems shaped our language, faith, education, and sense of worth — and how we reclaim the power to think for ourselves.

A bold, deeply personal, and historically grounded exploration of how colonialism continues to shape belief, identity, language, religion, and power long after political independence.

Drawing from Haitian history, global anti-colonial thought, and my own journey away from inherited belief systems, this book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths — and reclaim intellectual sovereignty. This is not a rejection of spirituality or culture, but an invitation to choose consciously what we believe, honour, and pass on.

What the Book Examines
01
Psychological colonization
How colonial systems shape the way people think, behave, and understand their own worth.
02
Religion, faith, and fear
How spiritual beliefs can offer meaning and liberation — and can also be used to reinforce obedience and control.
03
Language and identity
How language hierarchies influence culture, intelligence, belonging, and whose knowledge is considered legitimate.
04
Education and inherited knowledge
Questioning who defines truth, whose history is taught, and how learning can either liberate the mind or reproduce conditioning.
05
Economic dependency and self-determination
How unequal systems limit collective agency — and how readers can reclaim identity, dignity, and the power to define their future.
