In this video, I react to what she shared and talk through how it connects to the bigger story of race and identity in America. ► Melungeon + Redbones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLd8rizXCQ&list=PLvzaW1c7S5hS0duqgK5mkBh_9aqIpbooI ► 👕 NYTN Merch: https://www.nytonashville.com ▶Download the first section FREE of my "Be a Good ancestor" course here: https://nytonashville.com/shoplola/be-a-good-ancestor-course-digital-download-videos-bjks6 FOLLOW ME 📸 ► YouTube: / @NYTN ► Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/findinglolafilm/ ► Website: https://www.nytonashville.com/ ► X: / https://twitter.com/ImFindingLola/ OTHER VIDEO PLAYLISTS ► Melungeon + Redbones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLd8rizXCQ&list=PLvzaW1c7S5hS0duqgK5mkBh_9aqIpbooI ► "Who Counts as..."

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? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
