Jesula Jeannot was 12 in 2010 when a massive earthquake hit her homeland of Haiti and she lost everything. Her best friend was killed before her eyes. Her father, whom she had never met, then invited her to come and live with him in the U.S. Although this meant leaving her mother behind, she decided to go.
She started sixth grade in her new home, a girl with a weird accent and unfashionable clothes. And she was teased mercilessly. Formerly a good student, she became a painfully shy child who refused to speak in class—even in math, her best subject. And after a day of being bullied at school, she came home to a father she barely knew and couldn’t confide in.
By ninth grade, Jesula had just about given up her dreams for the future. But that’s when Jesula decided to use her story as a tool to make the change that she wants to see in world. She began to get involved in numerous community service activities. She became an activist for the LGBTQIA+ community as a motivational speaker who has traveled all over the United States to speak about her experience and visions for a beautiful better future for everyone. Now the 25 years old Jesula is a Program man
