How the New Orleans Pelicans Became My Identity After Hurricane Katrina

August 29, 2015 as many know will mark 10 years since Hurricane Katrina struck the city of New Orleans; thousands of people were forced to flee their homes and relocate in cities all across the country. Every New Orleanian has a Katrina story and all of them are unique, but all of them are also so very alike.

They are alike in a sense of how all stories share the same love for New Orleans, my story is currently being told from Las Vegas Nevada. I have lived in Las Vegas for 10 years of my short life, I evacuated here when I was 10.
