In this video, I respond to some interesting feedback from a viewer who had a lot to say about gatekeeping history and what it means to share these stories. We’ll dive into the idea of who 'owns' history, address the whole ‘colonizer’ and ‘capitalism’ thing, and talk about why history is something we all can (and should) engage with. Let’s clear the air and keep the conversation going!

Come join me on a new docu-series 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 sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
