As a 5-year-old child, Karine Jean-Pierre settled into a new home in Queens Village, New York with her Haitian family, who had arrived by way of Martinique.
At the age of 16, Jean-Pierre came out as a lesbian to her mother, a harrowing experience she recounts in her memoir, “Moving Forward.”
Now, at age 43, Jean-Pierre resides with her partner Suzanne Malveaux, the CNN correspondent, and their 6-year-old daughter Soleil in the Washington, D.C., area.
In her role as a senior adviser to the Biden-Harris campaign, Jean-Pierre carries these experiences with her to the team, striving to build a diverse coalition of voters that could elect the next president of the United States, whose message revolves around building a stronger, inclusive America.
“This is the most consequential election of our lifetime,” Jean-Pierre told The Haitian Times in an exclusive. “Everything is on the line ‒ justice, our democracy, our health, our lives.”
In a May article announcing Jean-Pierre’s hiring by the Biden campaign, former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett called Jean-Pierre “a superstar” who shares Biden’s values of equality, fairness and justice.
“She will be able to communicate his agenda in an authentic way that I think will resonate importantly with African American women, but also with the entire country,” Jarrett said.
When it comes to communication, Jean-Pierre is fluent in three languages: French, English and Haitian Kreyol.
Her role with the Biden campaign comes as the nation faces a pandemic that has claimed more than 223,000 lives in the U.S. and a reckoning over systemic racism. Nevertheless, Jean-Pierre maintains a sense of optimism she has carried since her youth.
“It comes from growing up in an immigrant household, growing up with parents who wanted to be American so badly, who wanted to have something better for their kids,” Jean-Pierre said. “I have optimism that this country has so much to offer.”
Shaping that future was at the top of Jean-Pierre’s mind when Biden asked her to join his team last spring. She was also thinking about her daughter.
“I looked at her and I thought to myself, ‘There is no way I can not get involved in this election,’” Jean-Pierre said.
Building an inclusive future
Jean-Pierre has said that she prefers to focus on issues that bring people together. In her memoir, she wrote that policies like Medicare for All, affordable higher education and affordable housing have gained traction because of their ability to unite people.
“We need to be both inclusive and multi-racial,” she wrote in the November 2019 book. “My parents shared the same concerns as the parents of my white schoolmates on Long Island.”
Biden’s goal of treating all people with dignity and respect is reflected in his immigration policies, Jean-Pierre said.
To its detractors, love at first sight must be an illusion – the wrong term for what is simply infatuation, or a way to sugarcoat lust.
- Take a social media hiatus. According to a recent survey from Everyday Health, 60 to 70 percent of young adults say they check their social media platforms at least daily. Why not dial that back for the holidays?
- Stick to your new routine. It’s tempting to shake up your typical schedule when the holidays come around, but women’s health expert and BINTO founder Suzie Welsh emphasizes the importance of routine amid the revelry.
- Be intentional about fitness. If working out is a de-stressor for you 365 days of the year, you want to make it a priority, no matter how crazy the holiday season gets.
The truth, of course, is that these people have been lying to you all along.

Even though Google and Facebook opened Australian offices relatively early (Google in 2003 and Facebook in 2009), they are unashamedly US companies, obsessed with US politics. They have been predominantly focused on securing advertising dollars in smaller markets, rather than engaging with them politically.
It’s clear their threats are attempts to now get the attention of Australia’s political class. And if the platforms follow through.
