@GlitterfulSummer I am still going to do a video on how to prepare for a disaster. Thanks for the idea. You are the best!

@brooklynplusbeauty That doesn't matter. Juicystar07, doesn't matter. Go away minion. Did you not get the point of this video.

I'm really sorry about what happened to you and your family and I'm glad that you and your family are okay...but just like you said that lady at the hotel generalized about you and your family for living in new orleans and they judged you that is the same thing that you did when talking about the people in the 9th ward...it's not that people didn't care about you it's just that when you have so little and lose so much people tend to be drawn to that...

you've changed my view on life compleatly!

do you mind if you could do that room tour though showing how you keep prepared and stuff?

[Wildthannggg]

I just started watching your video's today and this one totally made me tear up a lot!

I can not IMAGINE what you went through, & this may be weird to say because you don't know me, but I was thinking in my head,"I totally love this girl!" love how positive you are and have been! & I really do hope your life has gotten increasingly better.

& I hope we can talk sometime, because your story telling is phenomenal.

I usually skip through people's video's but for yours, I have not. [:

I know exactly how you feel. I live in New Orleans too and it doesn't get any better than this. I am just wondering what area did you live in? And please keep making videos.
