Storms are a way of life for us in the Gulf South. This time we are safe but I would never wish tragedy on anyone. @KatrinaBabies showed us the long term impact of what one storm can do to lives and communities. Be kind.
Please watch “Katrina Babies” this is such an important doc. Most of the subjects were children during Katrina and no one ever asked them about their experience. @KatrinaBabies@ebucklesjr thank you for making this - your stories deserve to be heard.
‘I didn’t understand my trauma’: In the powerful documentary @KatrinaBabies, the children and teenagers who lived through the 2005 disaster grapple with their trauma at an older age @JustSayRad https://t.co/SGR00YjbhF
Panel discussion today on the Trauma of Katrina. As stress neuroscientists at #StressAllostasis2022 in NOLA, we wanted to hear from the city. Watched the trailer for @KatrinaBabies moved us to tears. Powerful. 17 yrs later, trauma for so many. #AskTheChildren.
"Resilience is when u still find a way to have your head up & help yourself.But sometimes I feel like resilience is used like a tool, bc they want people to think, oh no these people are good, they're strong, look how much they've overcome." @KatrinaBabies
