We don’t have a voter registration problem in Louisiana — we have a voter turnout problem.
Part of that is because too few people are consistently engaging our communities, organizing, and educating people.
That’s why I’m working to bring Civics for the People to Shreveport and New Orleans next month. Knowledge and turnout go hand in hand. We need both if we’re serious about changing our outcomes.
If you believe in this work, click the link in my bio and support Civics for the People so we can keep informing, organizing, and moving people to action.
Numbers don’t lie.

A Message From Me to You
Today is one of the hardest days I’ve had in a long time. I don’t know if it was the dream I had last night or the reality I woke up to this morning, but something hit me deep. I’m fighting through a heaviness that I can’t shake, and I need to be honest about it.
I feel depressed in a way I’ve never experienced before. It’s a kind of loneliness that sits in the soul, even when people are around. Unless someone lives this battle every single day, it’s impossible to understand the emotional toll it takes just to keep going. I fight like hell, every day, only to watch my physical condition continue to decline. And today, that truth hurts more than usual.
I know things can get better. I know this moment won’t last forever. But right now is all I can see, and right now feels like a deep pit. I finally understand what depression really is and the cloud it casts over everything. The emotional pain is something I never imagined I would feel.
I’m doing my best to look toward heaven, even when my head feels too heavy to lift. I’m asking for your prayers—not out of weakness, but because I need every bit of strength I can get. I appreciate every person who holds me up, even quietly.
Tanja sees me every day, but she has no idea how deep this pit is. I don’t want to burden her with all of it, but I also can’t pretend I’m not struggling. So I’m saying it plainly: I need prayer. I need covering. I need someone to whisper my name in their quiet time.
If you’re reading this, I’m asking you to lift me up. I’m fighting, but today the fight is heavy. And I don’t want to face it alone.

What an incredible honor it was to serve as Grand Marshal of the 137th Annual Rose Parade. From the moment I arrived, I felt the love, history, and pride that make this tradition so special.
Thank you to Mark Leavens- President of the Tournament of Roses Parade and the entire committee for this unforgettable opportunity, and to the thousands of volunteers, performers, and organizers whose hard work brings this parade to life year after year. Your dedication is truly inspiring.
This year’s theme, The Magic of Teamwork, truly resonated with me because I’ve been a team player my whole life! Whether it’s on the basketball court, in business, or in the community.
The Rose Parade represents more than a celebration—it’s about community, unity, and bringing people together across generations. I’m grateful to have been a small part of such an iconic moment and will cherish this experience forever.
If you have any questions about America. This is who we are. Where can an athlete take knee in a silent protest and lose his career? America. Where can a vile racist get a moment of silence tribute (11 NFL teams) in the same stadiums where the other person couldn't even take a silent knee? America.
