The documentary series "Finding Lola" is done, but the family history journey has just started in my family history! In this video I finally make it to the location of a former plantation where one of my great grandfathers, Noel Coindet, was enslaved and built the bricks to build the nowdestroyed house. His emancipation and his daughter's changed our lives.But when I finally saw the actual property location, I was devestated.

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? Amazon links are affiliate links.
