"As many of you know, I'm gearing up to move out New Orleans for the first time since 2005 after #HurricaneKatrina. I love New Orleans, and it will always be my home, but gentrification has made it harder for native black New Orleanians to survive and prospects have only gotten more grim with time. That, plus living in a place soaked in a lifetime of trauma make it imperative for me to leave for my own survival."
