Resiliency: If you lost everything, would you have the drive to start over?

Being a kid growing up in that city during the time Katrina hit, how did that shape you?

We had such a great culture then. After Katrina, the culture just kind of went flatline because everybody's dealing with their houses, and you couldn't even get cell reception to talk to people. So it was just like you kind of. This was the age before Internet kind of was a thing. So you didn't know where people were at, didn't know if they were okay. We're resilient people. At the end of the day, that's what I think about it, is just got to get through it, you know.

I remember having conversations with people. When you lose everything, especially in a place where it happens multiple times, you kind of wonder, why do you go back? But that's to your point. When you're born and raised there, it's who you are. And no matter how many catastrophes hit, you're going to rebuild and you're always going to come back.
