Gabriel ClarkFaust's story is a profound journey of selfdiscovery and reconnection. From a closed adoption, he spent years piecing together his identity, culminating in a deep dive into his Native roots—a heritage often obscured for many Hispanics and Mexicans. His experience highlights the complex layers of loss and rediscovery faced by many as they wrestle with the disconnection from their indigenous origins.

Come join me on a new docuseries that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepiatoned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisianaalthough I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to askwho was Lola really? Who were we?
