I don’t just teach history—I live it. I’m Renée, a former English and History teacher of 20+ years, born and raised in St. Kitts, in the Caribbean but residing in the U.S. I have a passion for genealogy and storytelling. My family roots stretch deep into Africa, The Caribbean, even Europe and unexpectedly into the world of American statesmen, reminding me that history is messy, interconnected, and deeply human. This blog is part history lesson, part family archive, and part love letter to the Caribbean and beyond.
