Finally got to see Katrina Babies Documentary documentary. It’s mesmerizing and powerful storytelling by Edward Buckles Jr.. So many memories came flooding back to me from those days reporting that story.

“Before Katrina” I cried editing this scene. It’s one of my favorite parts of the film. #KatrinaBabies streaming on @HBOMax now!

My fav scene too! It brought back so many memories. I must’ve rewinded this part at least 10x. Well done!!@ebucklesjr 👏🏽 💯 ⚜️

"Resilience is when u still find a way to have your head up & help yourself.But sometimes I feel like resilience is used like a tool, bc they want people to think, oh no these people are good, they're strong, look how much they've overcome." Katrina Babies Documentary youtu.be/NjteP4qBqn4

Storms are a way of life for us in the Gulf South. This time we are safe but I would never wish tragedy on anyone. Katrina Babies Documentary showed us the long term impact of what one storm can do to lives and communities. Be kind.

Please watch “Katrina Babies” this is such an important doc. Most of the subjects were children during Katrina and no one ever asked them about their experience. Katrina Babies Documentary Edward Buckles Jr. thank you for making this - your stories deserve to be heard.
