For the first time I could sit and just breathe that air again, I started to see the people from around the way.Īs a culturally and ethnically diverse melting pot, New Orleans is one of the few places in America that actually represents what America wants to represent. It went from Thanksgivings all the time to we never had a group Thanksgiving ever again. So, everything that I had known - my grandmother was down the street, aunt was across the way - literally everyone was from there. I missed out on weddings because we were away from each other. I didn't get to go see my grandmother, I didn't get to go see those same places, my best friend. It was one of those things where I didn't get an opportunity to get fed and go back to where I was home. We were stripped of an entire life before I could even share, or put that into DK, or anything that I was doing. When you're 20, your youth, you're just in your young adult life, you get to start to find who you are. I never had an opportunity to sit in that. There was so much life, and I knew who I was before the industry, and I had lost everything. New Orleans was already "it." There was so much music, so much talent. Not even just reminiscing, I just realized I forgot that I was so much more before it all. Were you reminiscing back home, thinking about where you came from?
