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!

Transcription
Any written text transcribed from a sound
Mr. Smith: I’ve been working at the university 11 years 10 years and a half well going on 11 and I love working with the students around here. They give me energy and motivation just like I motivate the students, and mostly just like making sure the students stay focused and I would like to keep the buildings clean, so the student can have a clean environment and come in and sit in and have lunch. I keep the restrooms clean and make sure the faculty and staff members have that too.
Desmond: Can you tell me little bit how it was growing up in New Orleans
Mr. Smith; When I was growing up in New Orleans, it was ruff, because I grew up in Irish Channel Gordon District area and it was predominately white. An African-American didn’t have a chance back in them days. So, we had to struggle to survive, but as the years went the culture changes and more African-Americans moved into the neighborhood and everything. I grew up in Saint Thomas projects and that was one of the worst projects in the city, but we all survived and in high school it was 11 of us. Nine of us finished high school out df my family and we had support to finish school. I had an older brother named Clearance Smith Sr. He inspired me and gave me my first opportunity to get a job after high school and was my role model. My father died at the early age of 55 of a massive heart attack and my older brother just made sure we stayed inline and fished school and everything. So, I rubbed that off and I coached little league baseball. basketball to try to give back into our community just like here. I try to be successful in what I do. I take pride in my job. When I first started here should have said. I was working in the administration building and if it wasn't for Dr. Francis, he had faith in me. He gave me the encouragement and knowledge and everything .so that’s why I really pass it on to students. I took me a while to get it studied over the years. The more I communicate with students, Things just got better and better and better with students. I can say it was a 90% turn around and the students appreciated the work and it still does.
Desmond: So, what was of your most interesting stories you've experienced here at Xavier?
Mr., Smith: Well a year and half a go the students had nominated for being the most honorable appreciative in the university of Xavier. They had given me an award for it. That was as a thrill to me you know I didn't figure that since I was not a faculty or staff member of the university I'm working for a private contractor, but they said it was well worth it for me to get that award and I appreciate that very much and I will always appreciate it.
Mr. Smith: Because they’re our future you know because so much going on, they say that the black man the black woman can't do this, but the student over they have the capability and I know they will succeed in life and that why I make sure they stay focused and I try to stay on them every day. The good lord gave me the strength to get up out that bed. he blessing me so when I come over here, I try to bring my blessing to the students over to make sure they succeed in life.
Desmond: What's one thing you want to be remembered for here at Xavier university.
Mr: Smith: Keeping the students to make sure they stay focused and that they finish their education that's the most important thing the student’s education at the university of Xavier.
Desmond: One piece of advice you would leave with the students?
Mr. Smith: Stay focused. That's the main word stay focused
Desmond: Mr. smith on behalf of the Xavier community we want to thank you for your hard and kinds words that you give us each day to remain focused. You always help us see that all heroes don’t wear capes.

New Orleans, Louisiana, one of America’s greatest cities is known for its rich diverse culture, food, music, and annual celebrations such as Mardi Gras and the Essence Festival. Millions of people visit New Orleans every year to participate in the city’s festivities. This great city has a deep history that is shared with millions around the world, however there are many subjects that are hidden from visitors and natives alike that mask the bittersweet history that lies at the heart of this amazing city.
Lincoln Beach, an area on the Lakefront in New Orleans East, is one of the many unique stories of the city that tends to be forgotten about.
Lincoln Beach served as a beach and amusement park from 1939 to 1965. It was created for African American residents of New Orleans during the Jim-Crow era to keep Blacks out of its sister location, Pontchartrain Beach. Unlike Pontchartrain beach, which was directly in the city closer to black neighborhoods, Lincoln Beach was located 14 miles from the center of the city and inaccessible to public transportation. The beach was separated from Hayne Boulevard by railroad tracks, which required visitors to dodge oncoming trains to make it safely onto the beach. Originally Lincoln beach was not an ideal place for swimming and recreation. It was declared unsafe because of all the raw sewage that was being emptied in the waters surrounding the beach. The city’s sanitations board confirmed these conditions were unsanitary and called for immediate closure of the area.
By 1951 the potential closing of Lincoln Beach caused an uproar in the community, which let to the Mayor and the levee board to announce a $500,000 plan to refurbish the area and make it similar to Pontchartrain beach. Initiatives were taken such as expanding the shore line, adding more swimming pools, amusement attractions, restaurants and building a completely new bath house. On May 8th, 1954, Lincoln Beach was finally complete and despite its far commute from the city, it became a very popular recreational area for African Americans and their families.
Between 1954 to 1964 Lincoln Beach was at its prime. It also became the main attraction for musical performers such as Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Little Richard and local artists like Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, Irma Thomas, and Papa Celestin.
During the Civil Rights act of 1964, Federal courts ordered to end discrimination on public lands and amusement parks. This resulted in Pontchartrain Beach becoming integrated and Lincoln Beach being shut down immediately. Today Lincoln Beach is desolate and abandoned. The area is neglected and has become a thing of the past. Although the area is not the same as it once was, the memories that were created there will forever have an impact on the great city of New Orleans.

Domonic: Can you start off by telling us a little bit about yourself ?
Chief Durall: Um. let's see I started off my university career Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I was there for about five and a half years, I raised from the ranks of police officer made sergeant, I was a night patrol sergeant. They're located in a very urban area, 25,000 students so our call for service was pretty high especially on a Friday or Saturday, then I got the opportunity to go to Norfolk State University, which is an HBCU also in Virginia and there student population is about 6,000, so I made the rank of Lieutenant and went to Norfolk State. I was there about two years, umm ultimately my goal was become a chief of police, so when the opportunity for Xavier came up I couldn't say no. I mean I'm a Saints fan, I'm from New Liberia, so it kinda brought me kinda close to home, so I couldn't turn down that opportunity especially to work at you know a top rank university, for the pharmacy program, as well as it being catholic and HBCU, I mean not to many can say they work for a place like this. The I happen to be the first African American Chief of police, so I kinda made history coming here. So that was exciting
Domonic: Why law enforcement ?
Chief Durall: UM, like I said my dad was in law enforcement, so I think he kinda put that in my head and it just kinda stuck with me. And I thought about the medical field but I don't like blood and needles, so that was kinda easy, to cross of my career list of things to do. Well like I said, policing made it so exciting, everyday he cam home, he had a different story to tell and I was like, "well that's good I don't wanna go to work and have the same, everyday be the same, I wanted everyday to be different." And certainly sitting in this chief has not changed that, umm, i have people come to my door everyday with something different.
Domonic: How does it feel to be the first female chief ?
Chief Durall: It's exciting, I mean it's groundbreaking, its sad that it took so long for there to be a first female. However, it seems likes umm, because the relationships and because of the publicity that has shined the negative spotlight on law enforcement, umm theres a feeling and need to put a umm face of color on the police department so it looks like you know there's a softer presentation to the relationship with the community. But um I mean I'm excited, it's always exciting when your the first of anything because you can claim " I was first" wether I was being chief or anything. The first to got to college or anything like that is monumental when you claim to be the first.
Domonic: What are some of the obstacles you face being a black woman in your line of duty?
Chief Durall: Well, umm, traditionally law enforcement, and i tell people all the time, was not designed for us. Meaning it wasn't designed for us to work i law enforcement. It was created to stop slaves from getting away from their master, so thats how law enforcement started. So it heart-warming that we have evolved from that even though that foundation is there we need to recognize in the institution to be able to serve the communities that um are we're serving today. So I mean, I've had experiences with racism, I've had experiences with unconscious bias and all those things and it's unfortunate that were told we're told that we bare to get through it versus you know our counterparts are not told that. That not going to happen to them. So thats why the conversation is important to have those uncomfortable, powerful conversations to have us realize our biases, and our racism, and inequities and injustices in society, and thats something the only way we're going to get through being able to police and work with the community that we serve. It's not about what we wanna do in the duties as a police officer, it's about what the community needs us to do. Cause every community is different, they might have burglaries in one community and trash problems in another. So that's very difficult. So we have to listen to those nuances of each community and adjust our police.
Domonic: In what ways do you seek to change or improve the community's safety
Chief Durall: Umm, getting the students more involved in their safety. I mean, the police department can certainly put out cars, people on bikes however, the students have to change their mindset coming from home and having their parents make safety decisions for them, versus coming on campus and mom and dad aren't there, so now it's your responsibility to make those safety decisions for you. A lot of people -student and parents- always ask " what are you going to do to keep my child safe?", Well imma try to educate your child and make sure your child has more situational awareness so they're aware of whats going on. Most of the time there is situations and they feel like something not quite right, they need to pay attention to that and get out of that situation. So thats helpful and the community helping us, help them stay safe, so it's not strictly a responsibility of the police department, we do share that responsibility.

Amber Parks : Heart N Hands is a non-profit organization created to spread awareness about heart
disease and the role it plays in women's
lives
Essence Banks : i started heart and hands in 2014
because i really wanted to educate young girls
about heart disease and heart health
prevention which we know heart disease
is the number one killer women
so i'm really passionate about the work
on being proactive and educating
about heart health and heart disease
because i am a survivor now
of 16 years as
a heart disease survivor and wanted to
educate young women
and girls about the importance of really
just taking care of their overall health
especially their heart health
so you know being able to start a
non-profit
is very hard it's hard work it takes
perseverance determination all those
skills
right that you think about but i think
for me
it really wasn't that hard because it's
a passion of mine
and you know when i was diagnosed with
heart disease i was only 30 years old
and so i just really felt like i needed
to educate as many women
as i could right and so i did that for
the first 10 years
and then after that um
i was celebrating my 10 year anniversary
as a survivor and thought what else
could i do to really get ahead of this
disease right
and that's when i thought about the
young girls
and so starting a non-profit was like
you know started in my living room and i
thought wow i can do this but then once
you get
involved in it and you see everything
that you need to do
and that comes with start a non-profit
that's when you really have to pull
those skills out right and figure out
you know how you're going to pull
together
your board of directors and how you're
going to you know focus on your
financials and raise money
you know all that fun stuff but it
definitely takes
you know time and it takes dedication to
really get it started and so now we're
celebrating six years
and just really excited about the work
that we've done i mean we're
still growing and still learning so the
journey you know never ends
so with you know a non-profit it again
it is hard work
but it's so rewarding when you see how
you're impacting you know lives and
changing lives in the community
especially with the girls and young
women that we serve
well new orleans because i am a native
right so i
am a new orleans girl so i always say
i'm a local
at heart and so i wanted to have an
organization where
you know when you look at the statistics
for heart disease
louisiana is in that i guess that
southern belt where we have high cases
especially in our um people of color
communities right so you see
high blood pressure cholesterol diabetes
you know strokes
all the risk factors for heart disease
are in
predominantly southern states and so of
course you know being here i really
wanted to focus on our community
educating them about the importance of
just really taking care of their overall
heart health
the goal though for heart and hands i'm
glad you asked that question
is to expand to other cities right so
this year
uh during the pandemic we were able to
really focus on expanding
our reach for the organization and so
now we are
in nashville tennessee as of august of
this year
and then january it's a secret
we will be launching and rolling it out
in
memphis tennessee and then hopefully
we'll have other cities to follow
but the goal is to be in all 50 states
so you'll see
us just like you see an american heart
association
you know and some of our other
partnering organizations so that's the
goal
yes i was nervous from the very
beginning because i
have never started a non-profit before
so of course i had like this anxiousness
like what am i supposed to do how do i
get this started
how do i get people to know what i do in
the community so
that's the part that was really
nerve-wracking and then how am i gonna
sustain
an organization you know when
it is really like my secondary job right
so i have
you know your day job then you have this
passion project so it's kind of like how
do you
juggle and manage you know both of them
um and so initially in the beginning
very nervous about raising funds you
know how do i get other
organizations and donors and supporters
to believe
in the mission you know kind of like i
do and like the other
members of the board of directors so uh
yeah very very nervous initially i must
say
and you know some days i still have that
where you know i might be working on a
new project for heart and hands or
we come up with something that's
different and we're thinking okay
are people gonna like it are the girls
gonna like it you know so we have put
junior board members on our board of
directors as well
just to kind of hear what is happening
in the community right because we're
older
we don't know what you know girls really
want or what
they would be interested in and so
that's why we kind of brought on
some younger board members like you know
we have an eighth grader
because again we want to hear what's
happening in their community right among
their peers
so we can try to make sure that you know
we're really touching on all the things
that
they're interested in and doing so we
tied it into our program
but you know all those thoughts about
you know
sustaining the organization what does it
take
you know how are we going to get money
how are we going to fund the
organization
always make me pretty nervous and
anxious
i guess as the years go by it's going to
get better so the
programs that we produce for the young
girls
everything is interactive because we
know you know young girls attention
spans right you got to get them
keep them engaged as long as possible so
when we go into schools or we partner
with you know girl scouts or girls on
the run
we're bringing to them possibly a
fitness session so we might go in and do
zumba
yoga pilates um we do mindfulness
meditation you know with them so we have
interactive activities and then we tie
the lecture piece in about
the importance of taking care of your
heart so it's not just all a straight
lecture you know we try to make sure the
girls are up and moving
and while they're doing that you know we
may bring in
one of our cardiologists to talk about
the importance of you know heart health
etc and then we have also done cooking
demonstrations right we've also
you know done some sessions where we
bring in heart healthy snacks to
different extracurricular activity teams
you know at schools so that's been
really fun to bring in some fresh fruit
or
you know a heart healthy snack into
their exercise or their practice
routines so yeah we do so many different
things
with the girls uh in our community and
we always are looking for
organizations that have girls so we go
where the girls are right so right now
we don't have a program that we work
with a specific group of girls
but if there is another non-profit
organization that has a mentoring
program
or they're looking for someone to come
in for one of the week sessions and
provide
you know a fitness session or again
something you know light something
cooking
related uh giving them heart healthy
recipes
we will then come in and partner with
them on programs such as that
and hopefully we'll have our own girls
soon where we can kind of work with them
and you know track their progress and um
you know just see how they enjoy some of
the components of the program
and so i think the most important thing
about
my journey with heart health and heart
disease is
every time i do a talk or i go to a
church or i'm presenting to a sorority
or
whatever it is in the community or i'm
working with the young girls at the end
of
every session someone always comes up to
me and says you know oh i didn't know
that this could happen to me it happened
to you wow you were just 30 years old
or they'll say you know i'm having some
symptoms
you know that you mentioned you know in
your talk what should i do
and that's always so rewarding for me is
to hear
people actually open up about it and not
you know think i can't share it or i
can't really say what's going on because
it's personal
and then to hear later you know after
a session that we've done that some of
the girls come up to me and say yeah you
kind of like change
my thought process about fast food you
know
or yeah i shouldn't have fast food every
day maybe i'll just cut back and
you know have my have a treat every week
versus you know seven days a week
so i've heard so many great stories
about that i've actually had a cousin
after a recent 5k she did the virtual 5k
she lives in atlanta
and she said as a result of the 5k her
and her son
are now walking like three times a week
you know just because
when she got out to move for the 5k she
thought wow i could do this
right it's not that long 3.1 miles
but when you constantly are thinking
about working out you think oh
i don't want to do it but then once you
get out there it's
you know it's easy it becomes fun so
really hearing like testimonials and
you know people who have changed their
lives
as a result of some of the things that
we're doing is just so rewarding
and and the other thing is i mean
there's young women that i know in their
early 20s
now that you know have been diagnosed
with some form of heart disease
or diabetes and so you know my message
always is it's not the old people's
disease
it's not the old man or old woman or a
fat person even
you know when you think about heart
disease and all the myths that we
already have in our hair like yeah i
have time for that or
i don't need to worry about it the
reason why i started heart and hands is
so
people can say no i need to worry about
it now so i can prevent it later
that's the biggest thing about heart
disease eighty percent of it is
preventable
and not a lot of people know that they
think oh if i get i just get it no
like you can do things to combat it you
know you can live a healthier life you
can get out and start walking and
exercising and just paying more
attention to your health
versus in the long run you'll have to
pay
you know and so for me the the odd thing
was
i didn't have any of those symptoms
the things i just mentioned to you i
didn't have high blood pressure
no high cholesterol no diabetes never
had a stroke
never had a heart attack was never
overweight didn't smoke
never smoked you know so all the things
that you see on the checklist
of what is heart disease you'll see all
those things
what are the risk factors for heart
disease i didn't have any of them
so it's like okay some people say it
could have been stress related
or it could be hereditary right it could
be something down the line that
you know mine presented itself in the
form of coronary artery disease so
blockage of the arteries
but yeah you know so my thing is you
just never know
you think yeah 30 years old is pretty
young you're in the prime of your life
you're working getting your career going
you know and this happens it definitely
is a huge shock
to the system like what not me
so that's why i'm just so passionate
about getting the message out especially
to young
girls young women like yourself because
you can make a change now
yes for sure so the prevention part is
focusing on your doctor's visits
right creating you know coming up with a
list of questions
that you want to know about your overall
health because a lot
of times and i know this happened to me
when i was younger you go to your annual
visit
everything's fine you check the box and
you leave but you didn't really ask
questions about how did my blood work
come back how was my numbers for my
you know total cholesterol my blood
pressure um
glucose levels things like that so
really having a checklist when you're
meeting with the doctor and
asking you know how are the levels
because maybe
you could be borderline and just don't
know it right so
just really being more proactive about
your overall health
knowing your numbers totally versus
waiting for something to happen
and then you go you know hit you out of
the blue um
and then of course sticking to some type
of you know
heart healthy eating habits
incorporating fruit and veggies
and everything that you do that should
be like on a weekly
basis you know making sure that you're
having balance meals
and that you're getting out and doing
some type of physical activity
so those are the main things and then
listen to your body whatever it is
whether it's heart disease or something
else
your body never lies and we know our
bodies more than anyone
so you know my key message is when you
feel something is wrong
go get it checked out go to the doctor
right don't be afraid to just say let me
just make sure
everything is okay versus waiting or you
know putting it off
procrastinating just go get it checked out
thank you

We talk about being here in New Orleans, the importance that we ascribe to this area, we don't see any of that here anymore due to the gentrification.
Liz Johnston 0:30
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the Treme neighborhood is, well, the first thing I'll say is history. The second thing I'll say is an authentic look into the accomplishments of people of color in New Orleans and across the South in general. With Treme being one of the first established black neighborhoods in like not just New Orleans but the country, it's such a hugely important place. It's the birthplace of jazz music; it's the birthplace of so many interracial, interfaith, intercultural exchanges that really make New Orleans what it is today. In terms of that, it's also really sad because if you walk through this neighborhood today, you won't really see that. The history we talk about being here in New Orleans, the importance that we ascribe to this neighborhood, to this area, we don't see any of that anymore due to the gentrification of the city that's been really unfolding for several decades now but we've seen an even stronger push that's given us more gentrification since Hurricane Katrina.
Liz Johnston 2:44
I'll say because I'm from Uptown, I am not originally from Treme. I'm from the Irish Channel Garden District area. It's a different neighborhood and a different part of town so I can't really speak to that authentic experience of growing up in the Treme but I will say even with being from Uptown, which has had a history of money. It has had a history of being mixed. I will say that the entire energy. the culture, the feel, and the population are incredibly different. You go from growing up in a place where you see people who look like you, who understand you and your culture. I'm someone who is Creole so I did grow up with a little bit of my language with a little bit of purity. With a lot of aspects of that culture being a huge part of life and how it was raised in my thought process and how I view the world, the afterlife, and all these other existential questions that are engaged with that culture because it's mine and it's what I grew up with, and I grew up around other people who had it. Being fairly young when hurricane Katrina happened, which is really when we started to have to face that change. I think it's a misconception that Hurricane Katrina happened and suddenly, everything magically went downhill. There were little rumblings and little things there prior to, but Hurricane Karina put us in this spot where we couldn't really deny those things. We couldn't really deny those things; we couldn't really deny people being pushed out of their homes; we couldn't really deny the increase in prices; we couldn't deny that our schools were being taken over by businesses; that instead of having a very balanced private or catholic school and public school system. Also, a lot of inequality here. I was actually talking with my co-worker Brooklyn snout about what it was like - being just playing. It made me so aware and she shared the same sentiments with me in Texas. It made her both myself and a lot of other people so aware of how unique New Orleans culture was down to our language because a lot of us like, we call it 'yet,' which is our New Orleans colloquialisms and our little words and things that we say. It's so entrenched in the way that we talk and what we do and say that we don't notice that other people don't speak that way and don't express themselves that way and often have no clue what on earth we're saying. You know, people throwing the word "refugee" around a lot to people who evacuated from Hurricane Katrina which traditionally "refugee" has such a negative connotation like people very rarely use it to speak of someone positively but it's also like someone who evacuates for a hurricane is usually not that's not what a "refugee" is supposed to be but it puts you in this very weird space of like the negativity with that and how people negatively viewed New Orleanians and a lot of the stigmas that came from me. It's a really strange feeling, especially coming back after hurricane Katrina and even as things got more gentrified to go from being in a place where you saw a lot of people who looked like you, who understood you who understood culturally how to act in a place how to speak in a place what was going on, to suddenly be home and it not feeling like home like you don't see people who look like you anymore; like neighborhoods are becoming, you know, less diverse you're seeing more businesses that really are not opened by people who are from here and not really for the people who are from here like it's a really strange feeling where home doesn't really feel at home anymore. I believe that there truly is an overly romanticized view of what performance is, and I think any place that's a 'touristy' place has that, but there is something to saying that. The feel of the city is different. That music, that magic it just feels off it feels different; it feels weird seeing such a strange place where people don't react the same. We have what's called 'speaking,' like if you see someone on the street you speak, and New Orleans culture is very friendly. You can go to make (well, other people say buying groceries we say make) groceries at a store and end up talking with a stranger for like 20 minutes you know that's a very common occurrence and that's sort of gone. The ways that you would just subtly greet people like walking down the street, a lot of that's gone and it's like you can tell even in such a subtle thing you who's from here and who's not from here. I don't know it's a little bit isolating because you're like where are like my people at. It's strange when you see important historical places really get torn down and torn into overpriced apartments and not really valued and people fighting over land. You have all these beautiful creole cottages and shotgun homes that are historic and someone bought a property in between that and like decided to make like a shipping container house or like a weirdly modern place that doesn't go with anything.It's like you can tell who's buying the property and who's living there based on like the changes you see in the architecture.
Liz Johnston 9:51
I think that people still crave community here and I think that community members still come together. That's really just Louisiana culture. It's the community. That's why we have the Cajun Navy; that's why we have you know even during covet people coming together. You'll have a random person who'll get together with a couple of friends and be like, "Okay this natural disaster just happened we're gonna go and buy a bunch of food, pull our money together, and serve our community food." They're not with the red cross, they're not with you know whatever organization these are just people coming together making sure their community is fine and trying to do the best that they can do. People who will be like, "Hey, even if you don't know me, I have power at my place. One of the few places with power in this area right now; you can come here and charge your phone you can come here and charge your laptop" - that sort of thing. I think that we still have that, but one of the things that I think is increasingly becoming a problem, even in the nonprofit area, as we see more nonprofits and organizations pop up, is people who have a lot of really great intentions and they see that there are people in need and they don't really understand what those needs are and they don't really want to know they just know what they want to contribute to feel great about themselves; feel like they've made a difference, but not necessarily what those needs are and it's really hard to have a community group to help a community without the voices from that community involved.
Liz Johnston 12:12
So gentrification impacts us on several levels. but the first one is we spend over 30 000 a year on transportation for our students when this program first occurred. Now, many of these kids were like in the neighborhood. They lived here some of them still do, but a lot of them no longer afford to live in this neighborhood. A very common thing with people living in poverty is sometimes you have to work out a lot; sometimes you cannot make your payments anymore which is not a moral judgment against anybody. There's so many things that happen; also, being low income you end up with some boards you do not do things morally or ethically and you end up having to move legally. You can't just raise someone's rent out of nowhere in the middle of their lease, but if you have a slingboard and you're barely able to survive and generally you can't afford them you know deal with all it like that's you're not at least that are so many factors in it, but it's a very common thing that people end up having to a move around a lot and change their phone numbers a lot. There's also some people who have to do once a month releases and sometimes there's a month that's simply not great for me, so one of the reasons why we do that is because it's noticed and unfortunately there are so many studies that support that that children simply just instability to have healthy lives and to even have a chance and you know you may not you can't control what their parents do or where their parents are going to end up going to or if they're going to be living with their have this place to come back. You know you're going to get a meal; you're going to get like a hot healthy meal, you're going to have someone who's going to help you with your homework, you're going to have someone who listens and you're going to have someone who's invested in your future. It's not to say that all of these kids have parents who are not invested in their future; that all of them don't have parents who can provide them. Not to say that; it's just that we are ensuring consistency. My job is ensuring that we get the funding to maintain that. I don't work as much with the youth one-on-one, but my job is still development director to ensure we have the funding to keep this program going and that's also where gentrification comes into play - because as a crisis went up and there's far more wealthy people living in this neighborhood. There are more people who have the capacity to give to this program. A lot of people are not from here they don't necessarily know we exist they don't know these kids they moved here for whatever reason they're not as invested and there's some people who aren't there are a lot of people who are invested.
