creole culture

We discuss Marie Laveau, the famed voodoo queen of New Orleans.  From her beginnings as devoutly catholic hairdresser she rose to become an renowned herbalist, nurse, and of course practitioner of Voodoo.  How much of the talk about her status of Voodoo queen is true, and why is her grave even more visited today than that of Elvis Presley?  Tune in and find out.

This interview with Jodi Massengale is full of storytelling, intention and family history.  Jodi is a native of Los Angeles with ties to Louisiana and has a large, close knit, extended family. She talks about her experiences, her famous tea parties, meeting Oprah and how Creole in Vegas brought us together. Her message to connect with family and friends especially right now really resonated with me. Preserve your story and tell your story, it will help you find the roux of who you are.
