I’m going back to one of the most personal stories I’ve ever shared: my family’s history with white passing. Watching it now feels like seeing it through fresh eyes—I’ll share what’s changed, what I got wrong, and what still hits me the hardest. It’s a chance to dig even deeper into the messy, emotional layers of identity and belonging.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
