SÉVERINE DESROSIERS
I’m a French-Haitian Caribbean queen who has bounced from one country to another in my lifetime. I’m a full-time finance employee during the day and a University student/ writer by night. During my free time, what little of it I have, I like to learn new skills, go out to eat, but travel is a huge passion.
My family, which now consists of my Mom, my step Papa and my younger sister are a family of travellers. Unlike most families, we like to pick a different country every year to go to for Christmas. I’m hoping to be the real-life Dora the Explorer someday by visiting as many places as I can.
I love making the most of my time and one of these ways is to try to inspire others around me in a positive way. While the Path to Resilience isn’t necessarily a feel-good book, it’s a reminder that you can always turn a bad situation around, and that when bad things do happen, how we react to them is what really matters.
