Cyber Torch: A tale of Crashout Internet
by: Mardline Prevot



Marry the problem.

The final countdown is on! Soon, I'll be stepping into a new chapter, one that includes both my marriage and graduating from Bowie State University with a Bachelor's of Science as a first-generation college student. This post is a love letter to the freshman Mardi, who, once nervous about changing the world, is now actually doing it.

It feels like a difficult time right now, graduating during a Republican administration—the last one was in 2017 when I was in middle school. Things aren't the same as they used to be, at least I thought so, but change is huge, and yet, I'm still Mardline then, and still Mardi now.

Whenever I yearn for the past knowledge of being educated at The Bridges Academy, being here at Bowie State University only opens up those memories. It made me realize I’m not new to the education system at all; it’s only when I make it about DC. From my experience growing up in DC, no kidding, as a Haitian, I learned English and Haitian Creole privately. Problem-solving was a main factor I was able to do, along with always doing art.

I never realized until being here at Bowie that I was always meant to shine. The only difference, well, is don't fall into a fling or a long-distance fling.

It's a narrative that paints my home as a lost cause, a cautionary tale. And for a long time, I just listened, the words sinking in. But then I realized something. They're not completely wrong. Haiti has faced incredible challenges. But that's not the whole story, and it's certainly not the only story. What's missing from their textbooks is the vibrant, powerful history that makes Haiti what it is today. They don't talk about the incredible strength and ingenuity of a country that, after 1804, became the first free Black republic. They don't mention the Black liberation that sparked hope across the diaspora...
