Name: Makyba Breezie

Mini Biography:

Educator and Writer

Makyba has been a dedicated educator for over ten years. Her journey in education began at the University of the Southern Caribbean in Trinidad & Tobago, where she published the short story “Gone” in the anthology Caribbean Musings: Narratives of Identity.

She is the freelance writer of the narrative Silent Fortitude: Haitian Women in Agriculture in Dominica, a story submitted to the Eastern Caribbean Small Grants (ECSG) Program. This work highlights climate or COVID-resilient groups in Barbados and Dominica.

Passionate about empowering Dominican youth to tell their stories, Makyba created the social media page, Tann Nou Narratives, with the goal of encouraging more Dominicans to share their unique experiences. She firmly believes, “Dominican youth need to know that their stories have a place in this world; their stories are worth writing and sharing.”

Outside of teaching and writing, Makyba enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, running, picnics, and sailing, and feels most at peace near the ocean.
