Front Cover: All photographs are from AYITI: Reaching Higher Ground Series - February 2010 © Regine Romain

Regine Romain travels through a Haitian-American identity liberally dashed with hybrid languages, customs, traditions, and delicious folklore. She is a photographer, educator, writer, performer, folklorist, and producer. Her photography provides a mirror to a rich vibrant world as she looks into the black space, into the black face offering visual insight into the lives of beautiful and often misrepresented people. Her multi-dimensional sojourns abroad are “rootical” expeditions, most often pilgrimages, exploring indigenous intelligence, languages/ proverbs, music/dance, sustainable natural living, and ritual/spiritual practices throughout the African diaspora. All of the photographs included in this issue are from her AYITI: Reaching Higher Ground Series, and were taken in February 2010, three weeks after the calamitous 7.0 earthquake in Haiti.
