Dayane is a Haitian fashion Designer, writer born in Haiti living in England. Co-founder of “Little_Dayane”
“I decided to write motivational bedtime stories to help grow my daughter’s self-esteem and confidence.
I grew up in the western world, where it was difficult for me to fit in as a Haitian dark-skinned girl; this was accentuated by the fact that I did not have any role models teaching me how to love myself; instead, I was introduced to relaxers and bleach.
I hated myself and fell into a deep depression at a very young age. Despite everything I did to fit in, I could not.
Becoming a mother is what helped me search into who I truly am. I discovered my story as a Black Haitian woman. I encountered the beauty of Africa through my searches. I found my beauty through the strength of my nation. So, I decided to forgive myself and teach myself how to self-love and teach my daughter the same.
Seeing how my little stories helped her embrace herself. I understood that betimes are a special occasion, to insert good messages in our little one’s minds to help them grow their self-esteem and love themself.
Which encouraged me to publish “The Magic Mirror” in May 2021.
Publishing “The Magic Mirror” as my first children’s book is a way for me to make peace with the mirror I hated for so long because the voice I used to hear told me many unkind things about myself, which were, of course, not true at all.” (Lady Dayane)
