Abstract:: This oral history interview with Santra Denis provides a personal narrative on the Haitian American immigrant experience, focusing on her upbringing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as a child of Haitian immigrants. Denis discusses the impact of her parents' migration on her family and community, her role as an activist with the Miami Workers Center, and her views on social justice, feminism, and immigrant rights. The conversation explores the cultural and social challenges faced by Haitian Americans, the stigmatization of new immigrants, and the importance of community solidarity and advocacy in navigating these challenges.
