Thank you for your support. forever and always.
As I prepare to depart on my next trip I thought I would not leave until I updated you about my NOLABound experience. It has already been a month. I can hardly believe it. So much happened while I was there and so much has happened since. What this time for reflection has done has honestly brought me full circle. I thought that I would listen to all of the recordings again and take notes to see if there was inconsistencies – however that was not what happened. I processed, had conversations with people I trust, and made peace with one of the participants. There was no drama — don’t get me wrong – there was just a sense of overwhelming emotion… especially towards the end of the trip. I learned so much. From day one when we arrived and I went down to the lower 9th and saw massive potential for something beautiful – or saw beauty. period. I knew that this was special. During the trip I went to a lot of panel discussions and lectures and all of them talked about the progress that NOLA was/is making in so many industries. Arts and Culture, Digital Media, Entrepreneurship, Education, sustainability and biosciences. There is so much goodness happening to/in the city and so much on the horizon.
Overall, there is a lot going on in NOLA. LOTS of new developments! If you are interested in packing up and moving there you will get a lot of support. I am just waiting to see how this continues to develop. I also think that it is imperative for people of color to move down there and get into positions of power! More thoughts to come.
Don’t sleep!
I am totally inspired by this video. My sistas! The set design! The M. Thomas inspiration! All of this is on point! Shout out to dream hampton. This song and the video are the truth.
