Hi, I’m Dee, The NOLA Chic. Previously a nurse, I became a full-time mother and freelance writer in 2017. When I'm not spending time with my wonderful kids and family, I love writing about my love of all things New Orleans! Yes, I love me some New Orleans! There's nowhere else in the world that makes me feel loved and accepted. I'm happy! I am determined that She, yes, New Orleans is a woman who is just like me; together, we will overcome and will rise from all that tried to kill our spirit. Nothing like starting from the bottom and making your way back up! I just know in my heart that New Orleans will provide for me. I will continue the traditions and customs of the old to keep the heartbeat of New Orleans beating. I'm here to share my colorful Urban NOLA life story, and those allow you to experience the heart and soul of New Orleans through my eyes. The NOLA Chic will invite you into her world and the heart and soul of New Orleans by way of blogging real-life stories of New Orleanians by allowing you to see into her life as she shares her account as a foundation to prove that New Orleans gives birth to survivors. New Orleans is home to Overcomers, an underserved and underrepresented community of people, the natives of New Orleans, who shout to the stars, "Let's Go Get It!" despite the odds stacked up against them. We are New Orleans means we give life to the city through our survival by making ends meet, staying afloat, and being creative with limited resources. The people of New Orleans remain here do so out of love for the city and those who can experience the love of New Orleans as well. So come on in and join me as I live the best Urban NOLA life possible!
