I’ve watched the documentaries.
But, I wasn’t there.
Growing up in Florida, I remember vividly when it happened and how the media & government turned on the Black people of New Orleans. I even studied it in college.
But, I wasn’t there.
Today, I pray for all the people’s lives who were forever touched by Katrina. The trauma that has been passed down through generations. The displacement that has occurred. The intrusion. The harm. The sadness. The disconnection.
If you were impacted by Katrina please know that I’ve sent up a prayer and lit a candle for you and your families today. May you always win, may you always find softness, and may your culture always be divinely protected.
In Solidarity,
Nicole
