An illustrated coat of arms featuring a guitar, a dove, a Canadian maple leaf, Haitian and Dominican flags, and a family. A banner reads 'UNITY IN DIVERSITY'.

My coat of arms shows what’s important to me. The guitar in the top left is for my love of music, which helps me show who I am and stay connected to my culture. The family photo in the bottom right shows how important my Haitian and Dominican family is to me, which makes me feel like I belong. In the middle, the Haitian and Dominican flags are crossed to show I’m proud of both cultures. On the sides, there's a dove for peace and a maple leaf to show I’m Canadian and that I like when everyone is included. My motto, "Unity in Diversity," means I think we're stronger when we're different and that it's cool to have lots of identities. This all shows how my hobbies, family, and being Canadian make me who I am, and that my culture and interests are just as important as where I’m from. See more
