Include me in your list! My mother's family are Lousiana Creole, we have lots of food, music and religious traditions that have been passed down from the Creole culture.
Oh cool.
You can also include me as well. My father's family is Creoles of New Orleans.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the the house! Desiree is my hero!
