Come join me on a new docuseries that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepiatoned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
