Recinda: From Orphanage to Art
Recinda is an artist, writer, and TikTok creator. The chasm between Recinda now and
the baby dropped off at an orphanage based in Beirut, Lebanon, is large. She was profoundly
changed by her adoption from an American family stationed in Izmir, Turkey, after a seven-year
span of life at the orphanage. She had to become adaptive to a new language, an American
way of living, as well as the many schools and locations that are an elementary part of military
life.
Survival is the key component to Recinda’s life, even after leaving her adoptive family,
as she was not prepared mentally for an enlarged world view or life. She struggled with the
echos of the mental, physical, and sexual abuse of both the orphanage and her adoptive family.
