A Journey Between Worlds: Finding Purpose Through Difference
The night sky in Patagonia unfolds before me as our small car climbs toward Chile. Diverted from Haiti to cover an earthquake, I've flown through multiple cities in twenty-four hours, following that magnetic pull journalists feel toward unfolding crises. This rhythm defines my life - witnessing both beauty and devastation, documenting humanity in crisis. In disaster zones worldwide, I've observed the same pattern: bad things happen until good people intervene. This truth echoes what I learned growing up as a mixed-race child in predominantly white Smithtown, Long Island. My Australian father and Cuban mother ensured I had opportunities despite sometimes being treated as "a creature of bad circumstance." Their determination left me driven to document how people get their chance at life and whether they share their good fortune with others. When I was eleven, a photographer asked, "Forgive me if I'm offending you, but are you black?" His polite-sounding words crushed my confidence. Why would being black be offensive? I am black, also Latina, and half white through my Australian father. This moment began my life of perpetual motion - walking away from uncomfortable comments rather than confronting them. There was the store owner who explained I couldn't be black because "black people were thieves and killers." There was the eighth-grader who asked, "If you're a nigger why don't you have big lips?" Now, after decades as a journalist, I'm still that Smithtown girl but walking toward something rather than away. I force people to consider their words in interviews. I dig into awkward questions that need answers.
