Intro: "This is the story of Ronnie Dents and how his many talents make him much more than a barber."
Kai Wilson (question appears): What part of New Orleans are you from and how did it influence your perspective on art?
Ronnie Dents: Well I moved around a lot. I lived in Hollygrove when I was younger, but I didn’t stay there very long. I spent a lot of time drawing on the porch and stuff like that… after that, I moved to Gentilly… and after the hurricane, I moved to the outside of New Orleans, to Saint Rose. But definitely, the Katrina changing was the biggest thing. The fact that I moved around so much… because I feel like my life trajectory would be all the way different if I had stayed in New Orleans or Katrina didn’t happen.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): What other skills, talents, or hobbies do you enjoy?
Ronnie Dents: Man, shoot! Cutting hair, painting, rapping, songwriting, dancing, building sets, mural work, glasswork, all type of work, slight work (chuckles). You know what I’m saying, yeah. Everything man, art goes all over the place and I’ve definitely dabbled in a bunch of different areas. I’ve been drawing since I was really young. When the hurricane hit I moved to Saint Rose, Louisiana and that’s where I started bounce dancing. And I was doing that for a good seven years or so… but then I did music in college and I went all over the place with a group of talented individuals and just learned a lot about music. So I’ve jumped all over the place.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): So how do your skills, talents, and hobbies inspire what you do with hair?
Ronnie Dents: They all the way inspire what I do with hair, it wouldn’t have been unless I started drawing that I would’ve even started cutting hair in the first place. I literally do artworks in people’s hair. So just being able to do the hair wouldn’t be as special to me if I wasn't able to bring it back to how it was on paper or something like that yet.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): How did this all start? What brought your art to the barbershop?
Ronnie Dents: Well I first started cutting hair when I was like 12 or 13, I just started cutting my own hair and I did friends hair for free at have first, and then charge a little bit, then over time I just got better at it. About two years ago I ended up here and I got this internship program so I’ve been a full-time barber ever since you know.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): What is your inspiration for these amazing designs?
Ronnie Dents: I just take different shapes that I see. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of stuff with African shapes and Native American shapes.
It has a lot to do with the history of New Orleans...
The collaboration between the Africans that were brought here in slavery, and the native Americans that are already lived here, and that creates the Mardi Gras Indians and it’s a part of the culture that we have and I just like the way they look so I’ve been experimenting with that a lot lately.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): What do you feel makes you unique as a barber?
Ronnie Dents: I fall in love with whatever style I am doing right now. So right now I’m loving the new stuff that I’ve been doing with the shapes and how I can make them look more three-dimensional, and that’s just been really fun to me so that’s my favorite thing to do right now.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): What do you feel makes you unique as a barber?
Ronnie Dents: Well I just go, I just take a regular haircut and then I just go further. I feel like all barbers are artists. I just don’t stop once the haircut is just a haircut, I have to make it something more than a haircut, using the lines and shading to create a piece of art. Where hair is already art, but it’s an extreme piece of art.
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): Where can people go to follow your work?
Ronnie Dents: Well they used to call me "Right Side Ronnie". So with that being said, you can follow me everywhere @rightsideronnie, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, I am on there as Ronnie Dents. And Y'all can check me out you know I’m on all the social media’s. You heard me!
Kai Wilson (voice not heard): Do you have any final remarks?
Ronnie Dents: Do you art Y'all. And to all my artists out there, just keep on mastering your craft because when you do or spend time working on whatever you’re working on, you can trade it in for all kinds of stuff, and then it just gets magical at that point. You can enjoy your job. When you can enjoy whatever your job is, it’s a whole nother thing. It’s not just a job is like a career, a lifestyle you know. So do that!

Amy Muhammad (intro): Amy Muhammad, born and raised in New Orleans, grew up in Pontchartrain Park, one of the black first subdivisions in New Orleans, for so-called middle class.
Hmm, went to elementary school in the neighborhood, went to McDonogh 35, which, is a college prep that a lot of blacks went to. My mother went there, my brother, nephews, and nieces. That' about it.
Hadiah: Okay, what was your experience growing up in New Orleans if you could recall?
Amy Muhammad: Such as...
Hadiah: (laughs) like, what were things that you did, enjoyed about it? Just moments of childhood that you remember in New Orleans.
Amy Muhammad: Umm, well, I stayed very close to Lake Pontchartrain, walking distance, 5 minutes away so we used to walk to the lake and go swimming... or play in the water cause I didn't really swim, my brothers tried to teach me how to swim cause they were lifeguards there.
Hadiah: Uhuh
Amy Muhammad: Ummm, cause that was a hangout at the time. The other thing we used to do growing up was uh, we would have crawfish and crab boils. Or we would go to the local seafood shop and just buy big, they would do like sacks of crawfish and you take them home and you be in your backyard on the table, throw some newspaper down, dump it on the newspaper, and just sit there and eat the crawfish or the crab. Grown folks would drink beer, children would have soft drinks as their drink.
Hadiah: Using 3 words how would you describe New Orleans? How would you describe home?
Amy Muhammad: New Orleans, (pauses) for the most part, I'd say the people are genuine, friendly, umm you kinda got the best of both worlds. You got a kind of a big city, metropolitan feel, but it was small enough that it wasn't too big where people were cold. You know where you walk down the street, you didn't have to know anybody you could always speak to somebody where ever you go, which was a big difference when I got here to Chicago. We speak down south.
Hadiah: (laughs) umm a question that I just had was, did you experience racism while living in New Orleans?
Amy Muhammad: You know what? I did, and my brothers did more so than me because the age that they went to high school, they integrated, my two older brothers integrated a high school, and they were getting into trouble for no reason, having fights. I didn't experience that because the high school that I went to, like I said was a black high school, but it was well known.
I can remember in grade school, I think 6th grade I experienced racism because we happened to have a white teacher. For whatever reason, she would never..I would raise my hand she would never call on me, but she would call on the lighter skinned girls. That's a big thing in New Orleans, light-skinned complexion.
Hadiah: Colorism.
Amy Muhammad: And I did experience some in Junior High, that was a mixed high school, but not like my older brothers. I did experience more of that that when I was grown, not so much for my age. It was Junior High, not High School, the high school was pretty much all black. I think not until I went to college, and I went to LSU for a few years, I can say I experienced it there but not like my brothers.
Hadiah: So, how often do you visit home, and what is a few staple items that you have to get when you go to New Orleans?
Amy Muhammad: You want me to tell my business? Ummm, once or twice a year. Usually around Thanksgiving, not that I really celebrate thanksgiving but it is an opportunity, where a lot of my family, they make it a time that they come together to see everybody so... Nieces and nephews whatever they, if they not living in New Orleans they will travel there for Thanksgiving. So it's like a mini family reunion with more immediate family members, we just have a really good time. Staple items? Ummm that would be certain spices, like fresh bay leaves from my nephew's tree. Ummm I don't know what I take back, but when I go there one of things I wanna do that I can't get here is like snowballs and po'boy sandwiches. Those are the 2 main things.
Hadiah: Okay... So about the cafe, what made you open a New Orleans style cafe in Chicago?
Amy Muhammad: Wasn't me, it was my husband Arron, it was his idea. and I'm, I am the cafe where candy is my recipe, the beignets is my recipe, and I give the cafe legitimacy about being authentic since I'm from there.
Hadiah: (laughs) So do you know what made him want to open a New Orleans style cafe?
Amy Muhammad: Well one time when we were down there, we were in the French Quarter walking past Cafe Du Monde and he saw the line, it was like down the block almost around the corner, and I guess he was like dang they waiting like this... And anytime you go there it's 24/7there's always people that be out there. So I guess he was like we could bring it up here. It was really like, that was his idea.
Hadiah: So, do you know what elements of New Orleans culture that he mainly wanted to incorporate in the cafe?
Amy Muhammad: Well the beignets, which is food and then Ummm, you have the music, we actually have music playing you can't hear it now it's not loud enough. The music the food and as you see there is a lot of beads and stuff, the Mardi Gras theme. So those were the main things.
Hadiah: And the last question that I have, do you get a sense of content or relief while making the pralines or the beignets?
Amy Muhammad: Yes! Cooking in general, yeah, yes ma'am I do.
Hadiah: Are there any last comments you would like to say? Well, actually I had another question. So, about, what advice would you give to a student coming to New Orleans for the first time for school?
Amy Muhammad: They need to stay focused cause it easy to get distracted in New Orleans because it is a "party city", but that's gonna always be there. Enjoy what you can in I'll say righteousness and not get too crazy cause New Orleans will let you get crazy beyond I would say which is respectable, don't get lost in that. Enjoy the food, enjoy the people, enjoy the weather when it's not so humid.
Hadiah: And that's it!
Amy Muhammad: That's it!

OK so today we are going to be interviewing a New Orleans local that goes by the name of Chadvett Ebanks, Chadvett how are you doing today? Space I’m doing great space. I want to begin this interview by asking you, so being a New Orleans local you know born and raised, right? how did you like growing up in New Orleans, and what has the city done for you? Space. I mean what it’s like growing up here, is interesting, I was say because my view, at least come into college is semi different from a lot of other people’s views of the world. I’m very cautious everywhere I go, just you know real meticulous. With how I move, and stuff but at the same time I’m very social. I mean New Orleans is a place, That is very party orientated, you know there’s a lot of social activities, festivals, parties etc. even though I have that side of me, I also have a side of me that’s very expressive and very enthused and willing to get into stuff. Space. So, Chad that you do music correct? So with your music how has New Orleans influenced your music . New Orleans has had a great deal of influence on my music because of how I grew up, and the environment that I was exposed to you know it influenced how I write, because I talk about what it was like growing up in the projects early on in my life. as well as the things I’ve been through during that time and how it affects me today, as well as what’s going on around me. Space. So, what are some of the struggles you’ve had to deal with growing up in New Orleans? I would never say that I grew up poor, or anything but it’s just that my conditions weren’t all that.So pretty much the projects here in New Orleans are gone, you know the houses look much nicer, but I want to take you back 10 years ago when I was living in like brick apartments with the hallway smelt Of urine and marijuana. You walk outside or you see a fiend across the street. You know there’s gunshots, you know it’s just all types of stuff like that that’s going on. You know you see stuff that you’re not supposed to see at a early age, but New Orleans isn’t all dark and grimy. Space. So what are some of the things that you love about your city? I love the food in the city, you can go from anywhere to a restaurant to just a simple corner store at the local neighborhood you can get some of the best food , I’m pretty sure this is the only city in the world where you can get good quality chicken at a gas station. I don’t know, I went out of town and I just wouldn’t trust any food out of the gas station except for here. The food here, the music, we have our own way, our own style, our own flavor. That is what makes people fall in love with the city. Space. So I’ve heard a lot about the New Orleans culture, and the pride that you guys take in having your own culture could you please explain a bit more for the viewers? Space. I mean The average New Orleanian is very proud of where they come from because we just, we just don’t have it like anybody else has, you know what I’m saying?You know we have a little bit of French
,Creole, Haitian and voodoo, all type of life, It’s a big gumbo pot here in New Orleans. Space. So what separates you guys from the rest of the United States?Space. It’s just the fact that we’re like a small black city, that’s under that undergoes a lot, the educational system is not too good, of course you know we have the the natural disasters, but there’s always beauty in the storm. You know what I’m saying? We’re just the people, where there’s just so much crap that we’ve been able to make diamonds out of it, it’s hard to explain. Space. So would you say that your people are very resilient? Yes very much, I think I consider myself to be Very resilient person, especially as a college student. Here where we stress mental mental health A lot we stress self-discipline such and such things that matter, so I feel is though being from where I’m from “it helps build character”.

<span style="line-height:107%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">Meet Junine Goodison, a Jamaican native who moved to New Orleans chasing a dream and an opportunity. Imagine leaving everything you know because there’s another opportunity<br />elsewhere. As soon as I walk into her room, there is a big Jamaican flag sitting on the wall and Junine is sitting on her bed wearing a pink aerocrombie hoodie and sweats. “I grew up with my grandparents and my mother, and when my Mom couldn’t do as much for us as she wanted, my grandmother stepped up,” she<br />says. Junine grew up very disciplined and describes her grandmother as ‘gangster’. “I started off in a good neighborhood, but we had to move and the new neighborhood wasn’t the best. There were frequent robberies, gunshots at night, and even recent wars going on,” she says, her eyes fading away. It wasn’t until Ms. Goodison discovered her love for track that her life changed.</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://s1040.photobucket.com/user/shearonroberts/media/My%20Nola%20My%20Story/IMG_3665_zpsy5oc5rqo.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img width="222" height="395" style="margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;" alt="photo IMG_3665_zpsy5oc5rqo.jpg" src="http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b403/shearonroberts/My%20Nola%20My%20Story/IMG_3665_zpsy5oc5rqo.jpg" border="0" /><br /></a></div>
<br />“I remember I didn’t get into one of the schools I applied for and I was devastated . . . until a school in America called me about track. My grandmother convinced me to take a<br />chance, so I did. You see, going to America is a big deal for us, because there are so many opportunities, and I knew this could be something good for my family and I.” Junine got on a plane once she was granted embassy, and although<br />she couldn’t stop crying, she took a flight to New Orleans, Louisiana. “It was so weird. People were much nicer, and people held doors for me! It may sound<br />small, but people weren’t that way at home.” she says almost astounded. Back in Jamaica, Junine admits she wasn’t surrounded by much positivity, but people in New Orleans made a negative into a positive. She was surrounded by a very different culture than what she was used<br />to, and she admits that although there is no place like home, New Orleans benefitted her.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s1040.photobucket.com/user/shearonroberts/media/My%20Nola%20My%20Story/72-new-orleans-gear-patrol-lead-full_zps25okpt2e.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img width="255" height="171" style="margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;" alt="photo 72-new-orleans-gear-patrol-lead-full_zps25okpt2e.jpg" src="http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b403/shearonroberts/My%20Nola%20My%20Story/72-new-orleans-gear-patrol-lead-full_zps25okpt2e.jpg" border="0" /><br /></a></div>
<br /><p align="center" style="text-align:center;">“Life in New Orleans has made me a much calmer person, I’ve learned to enjoy my own company, be more independent, and most importantly, being here has helped me focus on my goals. New Orleans is full of culture, and because I go to an HBCU, I am able to see people my color doing big things, the same things I am going to be doing one day.” Living in NOLA, Junine gets to do what she loves at an amazing school, as well as get a better education. Our conversation ends with Junine showing me her flag, and her gushing about how she hasn’t seen her mother since 9<sup>th</sup> grade. She will get that opportunity in a few days, and she couldn’t be happier. Jamaica will always be home, but New Orleans will is just, “the start of something new,” she smiles as we walk out of her dorm room.</p>

On the week of Thanksgiving, I sat in front of a large barrage of photo albums. I finally had free time after a whelp of exams and decided to stroll on through each photo album. One by one I went through them until I finally found one that startled my interest. It was a picture of me so many years ago, but not just any old photo. I was with friends all wearing the same uniform. We were so happy we were home at St. Louis Cathedral Academy. Suddenly, I felt a rush of nostalgia as long as I held the photos in my hands. The great moments and times that I had at that school started to come back to me. I wanted to relive those times and decided to go and seek out some old friends so that we can put together something and show you why St. Louis Cathedral was so important to us. So, like all things we have to start at the beginning. St. Louis cathedral academy was founded in 1914 by the Archdiocese of New Orleans and can still be seen today on 820 Dauphine street in the heart of the French Quarter only residing 3 blocks from the momentous St. Louis cathedral church. The institution was originally a boarding school where only a small number of students, grades pre-k to 4th grade, actually attended the school due to its size as seen in this photo of the 2nd grade in 1926. The status of the school is actually older than the school itself being built past the 1870’s. The school was initially a full convent space for practicing nuns in New Orleans. This living space conflicted with the need for space for students which resulted in the second building located adjacent to the schoolyard becoming an area mainly used for the middle school students while the elementary students would use the main building. The principal and higher arching nuns would stay in the remaining areas of the school, but the others would stay within convent spaces located near the famous St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square itself. This partnership of the Cathedral and the school was the unique factor of the school itself. The school was founded due to a need for schools within the French Quarter area of New Orleans as its local residents in the early 1900’s had no educational avenue for their children within the confines of the quarter. The Archdiocese seeking a feeder school for their other private institutions such as Ursuline Academy founded in 1727 and Jesuit founded in 1847, responded to these calls by opening the school with the help of the sisters of Ursuline. The school would become the representative school for the famous cathedral of New Orleans. There it would have its school mass, celebrations, and retreats. There was simply no school as unique as the academy being private and connected to one of the most famous churches in the world. The school would stand the test of time as one of the only schools in the city to have nuns as teachers and principals even into the 2000’s when many attendees of the school were not Catholic. The school would change some adding grades 5-7 in its later years of existence and allotting for lay faculty to be allowed within the teaching body. This bought the school into the new age and would seem to go on for generations until 2005 when the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina hit. Many schools were devastated amongst the city and received heavy instances of flooding. The cathedral itself even was hit by the storm symbolizing the plight of the city. This bombardment of sorrow would continue until late October when residents of New Orleans would begin to move back into the city. Ironically, there were a lack of schools open within the east bank of the city. Cathedral Academy, similarly to its beginnings, was the first school open in the greater New Orleans area after Katrina. This was significant and a glimmer of hope for a city that needed it badly. This opening was so big that it attracted people even larger than life such as Prince Charles of Wales who donated money to the school and also Polarizing Magician David Blane. The school was hope to many including myself who needed a place to call home after losing one after the storm. These feelings reside in many such as by Dominique Williams a graduate of Cathedral Academy. Within the walls of the school itself, you could see how different this school was in comparison to other schools. Looking outside the windows wasn’t like looking at busy highways with street signs and cars, but instead you would see the architecture and withering vines that covered the many establishments of the quarter. The French Quarter was our playground be it for our annual events like the reign deer runs, trick or trucks, and mardi gras parades down Dauphine street. Even the everyday events like football during recess or having lunch in the cafeteria were special because of this phenomenon. We were players in history we could see it every time we came in through those old brick walls of the school. Another late graduate of the school shares this experience in Michael Keys… I remember my final day at the school on graduation day. I was asked by a parent where I would be attending 8th grade the following year. I paused initially as was startled by the question. It made me think back to the many experiences I had at the academy, meeting lifelong friends, learning so much about my city, and being put into situations so unique they are hard to describe. I did not want to leave as it was my home and I associated so many memories with it to this day. The school closed in 2014 due to a lack of students in regards to the Archdiocese of New Orleans’ school enrollment criteria. This sparked a huge backlash by alumni and students alike to prevent this from happening. Fundraisers and social media campaigns were started to save this wonderful school, but just like its opening as the first school after open after Katrina, it was the first school closed In a plan by the archdiocese to push students to other schools such as St. Stephen Catholic school. The school lays vacant now with its future use being undisclosed leaving a shell of what was. I occasionally see the academy when visiting the quarter. Every time I do remember the great memories that made me who I am today and I shed a tear to know that I was and will always be a part of the great history of St. Louis Cathedral in the heart of New Orleans.
