Sammy is Haitian — not just by blood, but by the way he carries himself through the world.  

There is a steadiness in him, a rootedness, a sense of history that walks beside him even when he’s alone. Haitian men often move like that — with the weight of ancestors behind their shoulders and the rhythm of the island under their feet.

 

He walks through the night with more than a smile because he was raised in a culture that teaches men to read the world with their whole body.  

A Haitian man listens with his bones.  

He watches with his spirit. 

He survives with instinct sharpened by generations who learned to navigate storms — earthly and otherwise.

 

Kissimmee may be where he was born, but the Haitian atmosphere is what shaped him.  

It’s in the way he senses a shift before it happens.  

It’s in the way he recognizes every sound — footsteps, laughter, a door closing too softly.  

It’s in the way he reads light — dimmed or bright — as if it’s a language only he understands.
