Grace - I Will Defend


I will defend….
The culture of New Orleans
Not only the unique society that takes over this city, but the food that flavors it
Spicy foods such as jambalaya and crawfish to sweet delicacies such as beignets and pralines
All create a great mix to unite our city
However, I support those who savor these foods
Those who eat these distinctive meals without hesitation and on a regular basis
I defend those who in reality love eating these authentic foods. 

Grace, age 16
