'Nadege Goes Home' is the 2022 winner of the BCLF Elizabeth
Nunez Caribbean-American Writer's Prize. It tells the story of Nadege, a Haitian-American woman on a trip back to the South Florida town where she grew up after a long absence. Over the course of a weekend, Nadege reconnects with her brother, and together they face the question of “how do you put yourselves back together when life rips everything apart?”
Yveka (Eve-kah) Pierre is a Haitian-American attorney and writer living and working in Brooklyn. Yveka was born in Haiti and moved to Florida at a young age where she first became introduced to telling stories through spoken word poetry, and then carried that passion by telling her client’s stories as a criminal defense attorney. Yveka is passionate about reading more, learning more and writing always.
This year prize for unpublished Caribbean-American writers was judged by authors Katia D. Ulysse and Ifeona Fulani of Haitian and Jamaican ancestry respectively. Katia and Ifeona both live, work and write from their homes in the United States.
