– Maya Angelou
Welcome to my website!
My name is Valencia Clement. I am a Haitian-American writer from New York.
I love writing my way through the times. As a result, I’ve published 7 poetry books and a cookbook titled, “Manje: A Vegan Cookbook.” I name all of my books with words from Haitian-Creole to honor my ancestry.
I completed my doctorate in Education Policy & Program Evaluation in December 2022. My research interests include epistemic justice, Blackness, Black Feminist Philosophy, curriculum, Arts based methods, mixed methods research & Critical Black Literacies.
Writing and publishing have created space in my life to practice agency, be vulnerable and make connections on and off the page. I hope my work and stories empower people to express their collective histories, healing alchemies and counter-histories through creative expression. Creativity is a salve for these unprecedented times.
My website is a place where I host my blog, my products and services.
