About the book
A story that is both unique
and deeply familiar.
Belonging invites the reader on a journey from the vibrant streets of Haiti to the halls of power in Florida. This book is not just a chronicle of one woman’s life; it is a testament to the courage and resilience that define the immigrant experience.
Chronicling the struggles and triumphs that shaped Marie Woodson’s identity, fueled her dreams, and inspired her unwavering commitment to public service, Belonging is both a unique and familiar story that encourages readers to fuel their own fire and fight for what they believe in and to find the place where they belong.
Woven from the threads of hope, determination, and the belief that together, we can forge a better future, in this narrative, Woodson shares the lessons learned, sacrifices made, and the unyielding spirit that has guided her path. This is not one single person’s story, it is a story of belonging, a reminder to create spaces for others to belong, and that with courage and love, we can overcome any obstacle.
