The Waterfalls! That is a nice Slice of Peace you got there... brave for jumping in... great video!

4:16 sounds like you’re in Wano ! haha

I’ve been in New Orleans my whole life. Where we lived was pretty safe but when my son was sitting on our balcony & watched someone walk up & try to still his car & my son told him something & the guy threatened to shoot him, enough was enough. We moved to another city which was fine but now the crime is running rampant there too. The crime is awful, the police are understaffed and underpaid & the politicians don’t care. I can remember when I was little & my mom would bring me & my brothers to the quarter & we were safe, now I would never even consider bringing my kids anywhere around the quarter. I will say though that the beads & stuff from the parades most of that stuff is recycled every year.

1st time viewing 1 of your videos/ content. & Wish i could of stumbled across your page alot sooner, when u were still living down here in Nola! (In my opinion), i believe, that U really literally said everything most of the residents (who live here/ pay taxes here) are also thinking, but maybe are not as brave(to get on a platform like this) n speak up some truth re: the sooo many on-going (sadly) never ending issues!! 🤯 God, too bad you seriously couldn't have figured out a way to try n stick it out longer, find a much better living situation after some time getting to know more locals🗣and word of mouth/ found something in yalls comfort zone...🏠😊(would of definitely made your experience probably completely different... or just something more positive, than what u/yall had to go through and experience! (Really terrible & sorry yall had so much nastiness happen, while in N.O.)... it sucks more than anyone can try n make excuses for.. 4real! 🤨😒☹) Man, sh*t!, (from the way u speak, and the way HIGH up there level headed U clearly are🙌, and most definitely having all the smarts, n obviously well educated, etc etc etc .... U could of possibly been the 🖤💛golden WOMAN❣,(who helped take N.O. out the devastating situations/ tragedies presently happening, that are deeper than all the pot holes put together!!🙄) & go sign up/ RUN for the NEXT ☆MAYOR☆ in town! ¿ ? 🤩 We need someone like 👉YOU,👈 who GENUINELY has empathy, respect, and cares about ALL peoples well being in the community and sooo important, the freaking YOUNG YOUTH / TEENS/ KIDS growing up here... (they have NOTHING, ZERO, NATA.. for them to do and stay on a good postive path!) Ughh (i wonder why so many of these kids are constantly getting into trouble!, not that that's any excuse for the ones who r choosing to partake/participate in all the complete "choas" n total "CRAZINESSS' going on... to say the very least!.. But honest question here, WHENNN will the majority of these problems/issues going to be taken more SERIOUSLY and start having REAL GENUINE change taking place for the better/ GOOD/POSITIVE !?, 🤔 (like u said. ALL that money just-a- rolling on in $$ 💰 🤑 💸 like there's no tomorrow... but whats to show for any if it... ? Ummm silence) i mean before its waaaay too late and New Orleans becomes even more too far gone down the stank clogged up drains ), that eventually NO-ONE wants to continue visiting n spending their hard earned income anymore... Then what!? Think about it God its so sad!! 🥺😞 This once so much more BEAUTIFUL enjoyable CITY!, NEEDs something miraculous to be done like yesterday/ now/ a long time ago and still waiting...), u were 100% right on ALL categories🚩 🏴‍☠️ 🚩 sad, but truth😶😟)

not me knowing who's house that was...

You. Nailed. It. ☺️ Can't wait to see more. New sub!

Sounds like you moved into the hood and own a car that can be stolen with a phone charger.... That would never happen in Chicago, St Louis, or Detroit I guess

She didn’t tell not one lie or over exaggerate anything. If I knew her in person I would’ve told her all the warnings before considering moving to New Orleans.

Here from Black Girl Solo Travels 💜

One more thing.....have you ever looked into the history of New Orleans...that will tell you everything... its all structured off the days of ole.....yup slavery... The mentality....what you have witnessed was the "real"........ Some of those people on B.S. make the most money from the M.G...... its a happening that draws tourism... I went to N.O. and I went to get Bourbon Street went in a establishment and the guy in charge talked to the two black men that where working for him like it was 1800's..I looked at them and they both looked at me and I just sank... it was like this is our job.... And there where all kinds of other things that...I observed that where like this is the other side of xyz. Its starts the minute you are born into that realm... Do you know the history of the Mississippi River so called free people who worked and lived along the byways of the Mississippi.... well when it flooded many died....but the owners of the land wouldn't let the people live outside of the flood plain..this happened over and over... Its no wonder when Katrina happened the same attitude ..of not giving a darn.... but I have to say....if you do not look for something better you will likely stay in the trap. Getting out of a place before the babies come and along that note...be able to take care of self before you have children lest you can do better instead of just being trapped.

🌍🌎🌏 Word

i really resonate with this!! i feel like im on the verge of starting my own channel. love hearing that you are doing it for yourself.

I loved it!!! Remember to balance your audio - some parts were hard to hear. Ideally all parts of the video should fall between -6 and -12 when you edit your video. 🎉

This video had me thinking...I enjoyed it.

Asheville is by far the best place I have lived.... Sooooo peaceful

Hey you pretty. I like your energy. If you ever come to Alabama look me up.

I love nola❤

Hey, can I contact you? Just to help with your experience

It is true and no different from any other City in the US. I moved there 30 years ago as a Louisiana Native. I love my city and life is what you make it! I never dealt with what you have dealt with! You should have researched the areas to move to. I enjoy my Home and the energy there! Keep living and see that: People will People and Life will Life!

When are you coming to Houston

Did u move to Houston

She told you a dirty house cuz she feels black people are nasty and dirty anyway so showing you are nasty dirty apartment will be comfort for you in her mind it will be something that you're used to in her mind so that's why she showed you nasty dirty homes because that's how she feel like people are❤❤❤❤❤

Every city is not for everyone. Happy you moved and found a city you like.

I love my City 💜

I have to react to this! I'm from ny and live in Louisiana. I swear u NOT LYING!! kmsl

I'm 50 now and left New Orleans when I was 19.. And I couldn't see myself moving back. Even when I visit, it's no more than 2 days.. GOTTA GO‼️

I moved from New Orleans to Charlotte NC 5 yrs ago...let's just say every city has their own challenges some are just worst then others.

As a New Orleans native, no lies told here

I love my city 😅

I am born and raised in New Orleans, left at 18 years old, traveled back and forth. New Orleans Culture and largely the black population are descendants of WEST AFRRICA. Our ancestors came through the Atlantic Slave Trade and New Orleans was the city for trading and selling our ancestors, where our families were divided, killed, worked for free, lived and died. Everything we do in New Orleans derives from West Africa. Our ancestors were named the Creole Store The fleur-de-lis original original origin is West Africa named the Andrika symbol which means nurturing and discipline. The school is not poor. Many famous people came from New Orleans, Louis Armstrong, Fat Domino, Maliaha Jackson, Lil Wayne, Master P., Tyler Perry and many more. Mardi gras is for white people. Our people do second line because at one time we were not able to participate in the parades. The second line dance derives from West Africa, Cote de Vore Killings: The wild wild West! People kill for blood sacrifice, its spiritual ( to gain money) The smell, New Orleans is a port city surrounded by water and canals. A lot of seafood, of cause it will stink. But there are areas that don't smell. Hummm, the Mexicans, Arabs, Asians, Caribbean, live here just fine. They pay scale is very low and the main reason why I moved. They were Slave wages, because it was a slave city. Since the city politicians steal and take care of their citizens, they steal for survival purposes. People steal all over the World. Back to poor education: We are the cream of the crop that started the very first school for Black kids to attend. Some may know it as Holy Redeemer 1941 Dauphine St., in the French Quarters There was no other schools in America for Black kids to attend. Marie Bernard her given name from Ginuea West Africa built the very first Catholic School for Black kids to attend. Think, your ancestors went to that school and they eventually scattered across America. If any Black person or Mexican are pushed to come to New Orleans it's spiritual, it's a indescribable feeling, its the burial ground of where your West Afrrican ancestors lived.

I still live here so I wanted to come on here and bash her but she not lieing she told the absolute truth about everything the Kia boys would definitely jack your Kia 😂😂😂

I’m from New Orleans. I’m tired and on edge everyday. I want to leave the state completely 😫

14 minutes in and you didn't tell a lie. I'm from here still living here and wanting better for the city and yet here we are with the same issues.

Girl, I could've told you dont go to Rouses. Winn-Dixie is my go to. Food is ridiculously priced everywhere tho. What you say about everything else..... all facts. Entergy sucks, sewage and water board, straight trash. Crime..... horrible, mayor should be in jail, everything you talked about is facts. Schools are all chartered. Ive lived here my whole life, and im trying to figure out how to leave. Kudos to you for getting out.

My city is definitely an acquired taste. I have a love hate relationship with it and will probably move away eventually. No lies told about the light bills being skyrocketed, not kid friendly, corruption is real, crime is a big thing, it’s about who you know, and business times online haven’t been accurate since Covid. The French Quarter is trifling. I am a local and never cared for it and haven’t hung there since my early 20s and Im 40 so there’s that. Mardi has always been overrated to me so I only attend one a year but on the outskirts. But folks here are truly resilient.

Say Boo. Some things I agree with, most of what you're saying is your opinion. 1. 2. You don't know what life was like before katrina. This is the outcome when this city that's so rich in culture no one cared about. 3rd you sound like you was around a lot of wyt folks. Sounds like you wanted someone to roll out the red carpet for you. Tell me this is there crime in North Carolina or South? Is there racism there? Where ever there is wyt folks present.. there's racism. Where ever there is poverty there is crime. And far is it being hot😂. You been to Houston? Wait Atlanta? Hold up fukin Arizona?? Love you don't know hot. Seems to me that you put New Orleans on this pedestal of your own thoughts, and you're judging the city from that. That's not fair to us. As far as Mardi Gras. Most of us know the history all to well which is why jazz musician louis Armstrong left the city. Yes back in the day when mardi gras first started they wore mask to hide they're identity to do LGBT things with each other. And that behavior came from France. So while we're talking about holidays.. do you celebrate Christmas?? Do you homework on that. Bet you still celebrate it though. Why because they made it fun and it doesn't have the same meaning that it did back then. Well it's a roman holiday where they worship the sun God Saturnalia, and that celebration was similar to mardi gras. I'm didn't mean to go on and on, but I can go to any city and point out the things that pissed me off and base my experience on that.

Man fk N.O.😂

I am trying to currently get the fuck outta here. Im from Arizona and made a huge mistake moving here lmao

Dog she ain’t lying lol😅

$18 for grapes is vile, sounds more like New York then Orleans 🌆

Lmaooo trying to get up the hill carrying all of that stuff😂 okay I wanna go here!!

New Orleans is a shit show.. born and raised there.. #1982 #CharityHospitalakaDaCityZoo

I see this as I’m visiting NOLA. I can’t wait to fly back to Utah 😂

Love your view of the city. So true. I'm from da Boot and grew up down the Bayou about 45 min south of the city. Always loved the city but could never live there.

You can't live as a tourist in New Orleans sweety.😂😂😂

If you're wondering where the money is, it leaves the city for the most part. Many people work/have businesses in the city but live in the surrounding cities or the burbs. Car thefts are high in every major city. Kia has a free software update at the dealership to prevent easy theft now. The conditions of the roads alone keeps me from moving there. I don't feel like getting a wheel alignment every month😂
