Favorite bar Cure Favorite simple indulgence Eating pralines Favorite place to listen to music Snug Harbor What book are you reading now? We Cast a Shadow by Maurice Carlos Ruffin A song that defines your coming of age "Acknowledgement" from John Coltrane's A Love Supreme Your go-to outfit If I could wear the custom tux from my wedding by Lavoisier Suits everyday, I would.

Describe what you love about what you do. My aim is to have readers or viewers be moved by my work and experience something new and/or something familiar in a different way. It's a constant pursuit to execute what I imagined, and that journey is what I love. Why in New Orleans? It's a plethora of stories and cultural practices that will be lost if not told; they call out to me, present themselves, and I'm the vessel toiling to transport narratives and histories to future generations. Describe your charitable work or favorite cause. I'm a member of the board of trustees at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art because art should be accessible to everyone. What would people be surprised to know about you? I've never had a lucky dog or muffuletta.
