What I love about NOLA? I love the energy of the people, the feel of the neighborhoods and the musicality that is evident in every facet of the city’s culture.
What have you learned from living in NOLA? I am more resilient than I knew. New Orleanians have a type of resiliency I’ve never experienced anywhere else.
Most people don’t know I am shy and an introvert.
If you could hear what someone was thinking for day, who would you choose? Why? I wish I could say some great philosopher or world leader, but today in this moment, I’d just like to hear the thoughts of the guy I dig to see if he digs me too!
