My people is the gumbo makers. Country folk who make a way outta no way in the big city. Drinkers. Storytellers. Prayer Warriors. They hold our history in their bones and fight like hell to make sure we don’t forget. And while they’ve experienced more loss than the heart can hold, they still choose to laugh, dance, sing and love. Fiercely.
