In this essay, I theorize home as a space not a place as a Trinidadian transnational woman who engages in a communicative process of self-negotiation to (re)think, (re)imagine, and (re)construct home while living in the United States. In trying to re-create home away from homeland, home exists as an amalgam of life experiences, memories, and emotions while living in-between liminal, third spaces. Using poetic critical autoethnography in the form of a bio-poem, I offer a perspective on the affective entanglements of home on diasporic bodies where home becomes a shifting locus of identification that travels with/in as sacred, embodied (re)memory.
