The Haitian Daughter Burden Nobody Names

Many Haitian daughters grow up carrying a role they never chose. The responsible one. The helper. The emotional backbone. This video gently names something that often goes unspoken: the Haitian daughter burden — especially for those raised in survival-based homes and within the diaspora. Loving your family deeply can sometimes come with invisible weight: being the translator, the planner, the fixer, the one expected to endure quietly. This reflection is not about blame. It’s about understanding where the burden comes from, naming its emotional cost, and exploring what boundaries can look like without disrespect. If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting… anxious for saying no… or like your worth was tied to what you do for others — this space is for you. 📝 If journaling helps you process privately, use these gentle reflection prompts Prompt 1 — Role Release “What role did I inherit in my family… and what role do I want instead?” Write about: • what you’re tired of being • what you actually need right now • what you wish someone would notice about you Prompt 2 — Guilt & Truth “When I feel guilty for resting or setting limits, what am I afraid will happen?” Then ask yourself: • Whose voice is this guilt coming from? • What would it sound like to choose myself anyway? This content is reflective and educational. It is not therapy or professional advice. If your family situation is harmful or unsafe, please seek licensed professional support or local safety resources. You’re allowed to be strong. And still be human. You’re allowed to love your family and still choose yourself.
