I'm a professional musician: singer, director, educator. 2 years ago, I made a song parody and posted it online. I thought my friends would like it. This year I got diagnosed with a chronic auto-immune disease that severely limits my ability to do the things I used to do like teach or sing.

I taught my parrot to ring a bell when he needs something. Turns out he really needs his little canary brother to: stop singing, stop sitting on his cage; stop being in his field of vision; stop getting attention.

While much of the focus marking 20 years since Hurricane Katrina is on New Orleans, where federal levees failed and flooded the city, the historic storm also decimated the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

My people.
Two decades after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Mississippi, Waveland has regained much of its quiet coastal splendor.
But signs of the storm are still visible throughout the city and the rest of the Gulf Coast, where residents continue to grapple with its aftereffects and trauma.

My family comes from the MS coast. In Katrina, my grandma's house, 1/4 mile from the Gulf, was miraculously not pulled into the water.
I was in school in Jackson & had to evacuate. Later did volunteer work in Waveland, MS, very hard hit by the storm.
Coastal MS still bears the scars of Katrina.
