I am a Fontenot
A Jolivette
A Guidry
A Native plant
I am a river
A swamp
A crab
A shrimp
I am mardi gras
I am Fleur de Lys
I am a dancing lover
No, I am not a mulatto, not a cajun, not a spice
I am not allowed to check but one box
I am mixed
The rooster
Church pies
The cotton you picked from your grandfathers field
I am not for purchase, however
And I am,
undeniably
A Creole.
A look into the writing for my debut novel, Étouffée. Also, look out for Creole related news, events and updates.
