My name is Meres J. Weche. I've always had a passion for telling stories in words and images. I was born into a family of writers and came of age as an '80s kid in Montreal, Canada. My parents moved to Canada with my younger sister and I from my native Haiti, in the Caribbean, during the 1970s, when I was four years old. Back then, I could only speak Creole and French, but I started learning English when I was 12 by listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller album.

After spending my summers throughout my teenage years in New York City with relatives (the Bronx ... where I 'may' have come across J-Lo at some point on the 6 train on my frequent trips to Manhattan), I became completely fluent by 16. Since then, I've become a multilingual and prolific storyteller, mainly working on digital platforms. I even spent four years of my life in my twenties working on an 800-page tome on ancient history and archaeology.

I later called Ottawa, Toronto and, more recently, Vancouver home. The vibrant cultural scenes of Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto laid the foundations and arts-inspired roots of Culture Shox Media.
