She gave a proper home tour, community history, demographics, current trends, and her hopes for the future.
🙏🏽
Yes! Without Black people/people of African descent, New Orleans’s food, music, spirit, visual art, language, and architectural culture - as we know it - could not/would not be! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Loved hearing about the history weaved in during this tour. This lady has style, a lovely mix of eclectic and minimal 💙
Well said
💕🤗
YES! Love hearing her talk about living in Treme and the history of the neighborhood, as well as the issues of gentrification that the area has faced. She's just lovely
I’m from New Orleans and I LOVE this video. She decorated her shotgun home so well!
Her sense of style and color is so beautiful and I loved her chill vibe and the history lesson woven into her house tour!!! More like this one please!
The girl gave a home tour and a history lesson🙈🙉🙊 and I'm here for it. My favorite spot was the blue bedroom 💙
Such a lovely home. I love the different colors, how they’ve kept a lot of the original features and the artwork. I thoroughly enjoyed learning a little New Orleans history. She seems like a joy.
She's lovely. I am envious of her lifestyle living between New Orleans and L.A. Love her home in New Orleans!
Savvy style! You have a beautiful, welcoming home. Appreciated your inclusion of both your family history and Black historical facts.👊🏿
I enjoyed every second of this. Already scheduling my visit to the museum. Bravo. ❤️💕🌟🌟🌼🌸❤️
Love the fresh open feel and the welcoming colors throughout
I loved this one! What a beautiful home and style. Also her dress was so cute!
Finally, not New York or LA!!! Beautiful home in a beautiful city!!!
YES to everything she said. Definitely one of the best episodes I’ve seen from you guys.
Elegant home! I'm so glad folks are returning to the neighborhood. thanks for the tour of your classic home
Beautifully done house. Simple, elegant and classy. Plus keeps a very charming relaxed vibe. Would love to stay in the house myself
Love love this tour! NOLA is full of such history and beauty! The authenticity weaves into the tour about current events history culture was chefs kiss!! What a joy! She was a great guide! Thanks for feature!!!
I love this home soo much. Its simple and minimalistic and so clean and open and full of light and colour 😌
Absolutely Beautiful! The character and the history... Priceless! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
💙💚💛
She sounds so sweet and nice!!! Her house is gorgeous too😍🥰
🤗
Fantastic tour from start to finish, through and through. Such lovely decor, and sense of style. I adore her dress as well.
I love NOLA! Well Louisiana I’m general, this is a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful home!!
Wow! Luv seeing eclectic and beautiful homes from my city💚💜💛
Loved her message 🌸💗💛
elegant & timeless I love it
Finally a colorful home! Love this house!!
Exactly what I was thinking, can we have less white walls and void space in the double double 🙄❤️❤️
as a Colombian I loved to hear that you spend some time in my favorite city of the country and I really love your home
🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🙌🏽
Hello Thank you for showing us your beautiful home.
Such a beautiful Home with so much rich history
I am from N. Louisiana and my mom is from S. Louisiana. When I would visit S. Louisiana in the summers as a little girl my Aunt Lillie who lives in Cali would take my cousin and I on drives to see the lovely homes. I never thought I would like a house with each room walls painted a different color. This home is so chill and inviting.
Beautiful home…love it🌸
I love some of the paint colour she picked out.
As a latina I’ve always used mochilas, super useful items😄
mochila = backpack
Kinda wish she would have name the people who made it. Indigenous people (who I imagine made the bag) deserve more credit.
Beautiful woman and beautiful home as well ❤️❤️
So colorful. Love it
I love this home and the history.
Nice home...beautiful story & background
Beautiful home and beautiful lady with style!
I just love New Orleans!!
But...her family owns the house, so $2500 is probably the mortgage on this home. And I'm not going to touch on how problematic Airbnb is.
Probably rented out to professionals visiting/doing business with their museum.
@@xomarahdickison7567 no, she specifically says she’s renting it out on Airbnb to supplement her income. That means anyone with money can rent this place whenever she and her family are not using it.
2500 still seems so high for a mortgage but I don't know anything about new orleans real estate lol - I'm pretty confused on how her cousins own the property but she "manages it", she didn't mention paying rent at all despite the title.
@@mssonoma1 NOLA is being gentrified like crazy, so houses are costing more and more. My aunt had to put a sign on her fence because realators have been harassing her to sell her historical home in Uptown. The lady in the video did say she "pays $2500/mo". But the whole thing with her "managing the property" for her cousins who own the house, but also listening it on Airbnb...something feels off to me. This is not a normal rental situation.
Hey girl hey! Airbnb can be troubling when people who don't know or live in the city come to reap the benefits of it while not empowering their community. However, my family who owns the property are pillars in the black community. Beyond this property that is sometimes available via Airbnb they own several properties which are rented out at fair housing rates to not block black people out of their communities. 🙏🏽
This house is amazing!
Love! BTW Santa Marta has been one of my favorite destinations thus far! 💕 Can’t wait to visit again.
She's brave, I would not be listing my space I hold so near and dear to me on airbnb. Some people can be so direspectful of another persons space. A tastefully designed space, which you can tell is just rich with so much history. The artwork was one of the first things I noticed. Such a beautiful way to elevate a space and be a centrepiece tbh
I agree; however, it can be listed as adults only and no pets which can help avoid damages. I just don't know how I would feel about someone else sleeping on my bed though.
How Beautiful!So PEACEFUL(PIECEFUL🙂)
Although colourful, it’s not the typical colourful that comes to mind... this is more a muted and serene type of colourful. I would describe it more of a tonal colour filled house
Aww-Let her describe it any way she wishes! They did the work-displaying your design & architectural vernacular knowledge is… yawn 🥱. You don’t think your comment might, perhaps, be hurtful? You don’t, perhaps feel people in NOLA are dealing w/ PLENTY without your snarky opinion?
Where’s your home in this series??? Seriously. Tag me on it. ✅ Just yuck 🤢
@@annkat100 your overreaction is what’s “yuck”. You made my comment into something it isn’t. But I’ll give you some empathy and perhaps you are the one dealing with plenty. I’m not bashing anyone’s home but rather commenting on something rather banal in the grand scheme of things. It a lovely house regardless of the tacky comments you’ve made.
SO GORGEOUS! I know your street! Our family hails from NOLA- You’ve done a beautiful job. Your home definitely reflects your world travels as well as your personal familial history! Your color palette & art work are so fine & well-curated. Anyone would be fortunate to stay in your home! In fact, I’m making note of it in case we’re in need of a home during a visit-& of course it worksw/ your schedule (I also attended graduate school in L.A.! & undergraduate in SFO, so also ♥️ Cali). Everything you’ve created vibes w/ me. We’ve renovated 6-7 🤔 historic homes I think. Mostly in neighborhoods such as yours in D.C. & Lafayette. LA-old town & Bendel Gardens - there a mid-century home we sold to the neighborhood’s first African Americans, which honestly caused a ‘stir/few phone calls which were promptly ended!’ among some of the older residents, but I desperately hope the sale was only the START of a REVERSE gentrification 👍🏽✅😱🥊👏🏽❤️🔥. You’re inspirational & I wish all & only the very best for you & yours. Perhaps we’ll meet one day soon! Our October trip to NOLA sadly has been cancelled due to the recent hurricane, but maybe our next visit could bring us to your very special gem 💎! In the meantime, my 21-yr old daughter may head down to do some disaster relief w/ an organization she’s worked w/ 3X; twice in St. Thomas repairing schools for kiddos, & 1X in Houston. Goddess-speed to you & All hurt by the hurricane! We went through a hurricane back in around “03 (?) in Lafayette- lost our roof on our 1890 home 🤷🏼♀️. Now we’re up in fire 🔥 country in Colorado (work brought us here). Guess everyone has their dangers these days-Thx to environmental changes 😭. Onward Progressives!💡✊We MUST save our Mother 🌍♥️
LOVED this‼️❣
Wow what well spoken brilliant young lady beautiful space beautiful mind.
Beautiful home
Awesome home
As soon as she began talking, I knew she was my homegirl (California). And boy, that house and its overall look is just beautiful.🧚🏽♀️
I love that she doesn’t have a huge TV.
I love the paint colours you use. That deep rich blue is gorgeous. WIll you please tell me the brand and name of thet very light pale green/ aqua colour in your first bedroom inside the door, because I think it's beautiful and I want to decorate with it. Tjank you. ❤
Absolutely beautiful home and host. What a great history as well. Air BnB? How might go about looking to book this one? TY!
i genuinely am so in love with NOLA, so this is my favorite. Rent/the mortgage there for me makes total sense LOL!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
I love her!
Haha so it's a family home. I want refinery 29 to understand that putting out videos in this series showcasing people who lucked out with their housing situation, (i.e. family owned, lease passed from parent to child, or have been in a rent controlled apartment for 10 years and started paying that rent before the housing crisis in America) thats not the norm for people who are watching these videos and those apartments don't actually reflect the real housing price of the neighborhoods they're situated in and are advertising. Most everyone is hurting from the rent spike w/in the past year and I think these videos would benefit from the audience seeing authentic situations that mirror their own realities. Show me an old school nola house that has been chopped up into shoebox apartments thats literally falling apart because the cheap slumlords who own it won't fix the cracks in the wall, allowing termites in to swarm at night. Show me the moldy overpriced basement shot gun where the landlord lives upstair but wont fix the mold bc its expensive and what one tenant wont stand for in a unit theres a 1000 other prospective tenants that will bc their desperate to find a home. These are both real situations i've lived in and my houses were cute af. Let me not even bother to get into the rental I lived at where my floor, so my neighbors ceiling, collapsed and we just lived like that?? for 3 months??? bc our landlord really said oops cant fix that rn??? but like both our apartments were cute. So all i'm saying is show me those apartments bc if rental prices stay like this I know I'm never gonna see a video like this one posted here and go wooowww living in xyz city is so attainable and relatable to me, a renter looking for apartments in the same city that aren't like this at all bc it just not possible unless u know somebody or ur family does.
You ARE accurate in explaining to people what the majority of the neighborhood is actually like; having to live in. I wouldn’t argue that EVER!! The only thing is-what you write could be said for nearly EVERY one of these ‘Fantasy Tours!’ And yes, she’s indeed fortunate to hv had the house ‘in the family.’ I cannot begin to imagine what that feels like-nor will my children! Ha! They WILL know what it’s like to inherit a home w/ a fully unpaid 30 -year mortgage on it!! Sell it as fast as possible- get a few bucks to divide among three. We’re in Denver where home prices for freaking BOXES OF DRYWALL are so exorbitant-ridiculous. We HAVE lived in Lafayette, LA, where housing is substantially cheaper than NOLA, more integrated, & apartment-living is much more stringently monitored. We renovated & rented out a couple old homes- for extremely reasonable prices. Truly. And ALWAYS tended to ANY complaints- no matter how small. Sadly, we lost $ on our investments, even though we’re builders, did the bulk of work ourselves, as in massive # of hours of back-breaking labor, I while pregnant. Sucked to hv made not a penny-but that’s how real estate goes sometimes. Probably needed to hv stay longer than we did- but after 7 years of my bat-shit crazy MIL hounding me daily, lying about me to others-I insisted on a move or a divorce. Probably should’ve taken the later-lol. Not lol. Anyway- I think it’s best to remember this channel isn’t like an investigative one. It’s entertainment to me! Pure entertainment. I never take it very seriously. I ALWAYS wonder HOW the eff so & so managed to get their place- which always manages to look pretty awesome- for the price they’re paying. You’re not alone. This one probably hit a nerve as it’s YOUR neighborhood- maybe (??) If they came to mine for instance- to our home- LOTS would cry out- but we got an amazing deal: a desperate “short sale”-a sick mother in a different state- who just paid for EVERYTHING for her son to get to her quickly. Then, b/c my husband/myself are builders- we easily upgraded things; from odd sources most people don’t hv access to/we NORMALLY couldn’t afford. SERIOUSLY. So it looks way nicer than our salaries!! And our monthly is probably half of everyone else’s in the neighborhood. THEY don’t know that. STILL- our kids won’t inherit it- as we can’t afford to pay it off!! NEVER!! And if we sold it- took the sweet profit-we couldn’t still afford Denver. We’d nd to move to some farm town hours away- w/ a population of about 300 white Trumpsters… then, maybe we could leave them a house-which they WOULDN’T EVER WANT-as all 3 are in mixed race relationships-wouldn’t EVER live in some crappy little RED town where everyone STILL believes the election was stolen 🤦🏼♀️ So… I try to not care-& only very occasionally watch these-w/ only entertainment in mind. But the REAL STORY OF the U.S. Housing Travesty?? I’m ALL TOO AWARE OF-and it makes me sad/sickens me/keeps me voting at all levels/volunteering for/donating my kids’ ‘inheritance’ to Habitat for Humanity as well as my various immigration projects; some legal & some less so. I send you my my heartfelt best ♥️🌍🥊
ps it took me over 10 years to get my bachelors degree; going 1st to SFO City College, a class at a time for years, at night- & FINALLY taking out a loan to attend Cal State-SFO full-time the final year. Worth all the time & the loan! YEAH, it was hard, & sometimes I had 3 jobs at 1X, something my irritating kids can’t imagine or appreciate. But it was what got me out of the Tenderloin in SFO, and eventually into a house 🤷🏼♀️ Even someone who ‘looks’ like me knows all too well, exactly what you’re saying. I hear you-loud & clear. Best of luck. Truly. Cuz everyone needs a little, along w/ all of the trying. For sure. 💕
Love!
Beautiful style … beautiful individual
Can we have online social media info for her? The description only lists her first name, and the majority of these videos always list the full name. Unless of course she requested not to give it, then understood!
Let’s be real. This girl prolly stays in NOLA for Mardi Gras and that’s it. This is NOT your home. When all your social media says you live in Los Angeles. And Airbnb? Why even share that. That’s TERRIBLE. And if you actually cared for N.O. You’d know why. Let’s not get started on that $2500 bc hun…. Not even…
I agree. There’s NOTHING about this lady’s energy that screams NOLA…nothing!
She is so well spoken :) cool chicka and place
so refreshing to hear a young woman of color full of knowledge and unpretentious
Love all the colors! I’m kind of disappointed in this channel - they keep showing us people who are lucky in their living situations. Family owned house, cheap renting from friends, etc. show us a real home tbh. Not something unattainable.
Ohh hello Sezane print.
I would love to see Delaware I’m actually considering moving there
Wow that’s pricier than I was expecting
I'm here for Cashew
Beautiful space; overpriced; especially for New Orleans. A “$2” in front of anything is too much…
You haven't been here in a minute, I can tell. because an updated 3 br in a good area certainly starts with a 2.
I was loving this right up until she said it is an Airbnb. No!!!! Our neighborhoods need to be preserved! Such a shame, but a beautiful property none the less.
Mochila- backpack
Her place is very beautiful nicely designed not clutter and it doesn't look cheap like some I've seen very nice conservative taste I think it's a very beautiful home if you were buying this home. Which is about $30,000 a year if she stayed there 4 years that's a hundred and twenty thousand that's a pretty steep price to be renting, whether it's from your family or whomever. I think it's good if you're going to buy and invest. Beautiful nevertheless. 😎❤️💛🖤💚🇯🇲💸💰💰💰💰💰💯🇲🇱🇯🇲😉
It’s not a rental. She said her family owns the house which implies $2500 is the mortgage on the place.
@@Fumi007 the title of it says that she rents It for where she clearly states this whether it's her family or not.for $2,500 so trying to correct somebody in what they make on their own post is a little bit Petty🤦🏻♀️💯‼️🤬 not to mention a bit stupid. let's be clear. If her family owns it that doesn't mean that she can't rent it because the title is look at her particular rental house for $2, 500.that she rents listening should be a wonderful too you should really develop. I think you might want to focus on your own post as opposed to being so petty and nitpicking for something that you don't own. In this particular video with this particular person that is talking on where she lives in New Orleans for $2,500 it's a beautiful environment that's wonderful area and it's gorgeous for her. Beautiful if you want to do the rental whether it's a friend family or non family members. Still comes out to the same mathematics 120, 000 in about 4 years. But wonderful, for her and her wonderful children husband etc. Why does it matter who she rents it from is the question 😤🤬💯🤬🤦🏻♀️👺🔥👺
@@monie2514 Are you related to the woman in the video? I can't think of any other reason why you're so upset and making such a long post (that I have no intention on actually reading). I said what I said.
Early
EDIT:Oh I'm actually first yesssss🤩😝🙃
so innacurate, Frida Kahlo had a very different view about architecture and interior design, a quick visit to the two houses where she lived in Mexico City will give you an idea...
Totally agree!! Nothing to do with Frida
This place is beyond overpriced & I’m from New Orleans 😭
I’m thinking the same 🥴
nooo this is a restored, historical home in a historical neighborhood. original details have been preserved and everything else is in pristine condition. with 3 bedrooms, this is not an out of line price. I'm also from new orleans. and the prices are just going up and up and up in treme. great time to be a landlord.
@@da504ever Are you trying to invalidate my point considering thats where I am from and understand property value there? Also its in a white neighborhood... that doesn't make it historic nor does it make that home worth the cost. Many whites are able to remain on that street and streets surrounding due to the city choose to protect the white neighborhoods rather than black ones during Katrina.
@@niaortiz3328 I too was born and raised in New Orleans. And am also Black.
#DrOseghaleSundayHerbalHome 🤗
Lovely home but seems pretty pricey.
😂
Nice house! Her bracelets kept making noise and were distracting, but the house is beautiful!
She doesn’t have he accent
I DID note that as well- but we cannot hold how someone speaks-especially someone who it seems travels constantly, against them. Seems sorta ugly to me- & my husband hails from NOLA- as do his parents & grandparents-& we lived in Lafayette, LA (a different ‘accent’) for nearly a decade. This is an entertainment channel, far from a social commentary or documentary channel. For those; personally, I’d go elsewhere 👍🏽✅
cameramen was on drugs
This lady is insufferable
Very pretentious.
Pushed out of the area? This statement always confuses me. People want an area to improve but they also want low prices…not really possible.
Stay confused 😕
It’s called gentrification and it’s happening in every city in historically Black districts/areas.
@@DrCareyYazeedTV how about we focus on another meaning to the word….”the process of making someone or something more refined, polite, or respectable.”
@@jamiep9694 Unfortunately, that's not what happening. Due to the past segregated living, banks did not let Black and Brown people loans for housing. Nowadays, it's similar but it's called gentrification. I really reccomend to revisit history books. (:
