Interesting read! I'm a Cajun girl from Eunice, now living in Baton Rouge. The older I get, the more fascinated I am by our culture! I'm also a writer (frustrated at the moment) who aspires to use her words to revive some of our traditions. I just wanted to introduce myself and say, "Thank you for what you do!" I miss the days when everyone around me spoke Cajun French, so I find myself clinging to every little piece of our culture and history I can find. It's not quite the same as listening to Maman and Tataunte speak the language, but it helps!
Thank you for the love and support. Yes, the culture is so unique and something to be preserved. What better way than writing? Glad I could give you a little snippet of our home.
