Hi, everyone. I'm Brene Brown, and I'd love to tell you about a new series that's launching on Unlocking Us. I'm calling it the On My Heart and Mind podcast series. It's going to include conversations with some of my favorite writers on topics ranging from revolutionary love and gun ownership to menopause and finding joy in grief.

Please use discretion. Tell me about your father.

But he goes by the name of Francique. He was strict. He was very, very strict. My only job, my dad would tell me, your only duty is to go to school.
Marie Chouinard's father grew up in the Dominican Republic. He moved to Haiti as a teenager.
Then he met Marie's mother. I didn't know my mom very well. She left me when I was three months old. My grandmother and my dad would tell me. My stepmom didn't have kids until I was about 10 years old, give or take, so... I was the only kids around for a long time, and my grandma pretty much raised me with my dad.
When she was growing up, the president of Haiti was Jean-Claude Duvalier. He'd been president Marie's whole life. He became president at age 19 when his father, Francois Duvalier, who people called Papa Doc, died. People called him Baby Doc.
