This week marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina changed everything. In this special solo episode, Victoria Masters sits down to share her own story and what it was like to grow up in St. Bernard Parish, to evacuate, and to never return.
She talks about the days leading up to landfall, the eerie calm before the storm, and everything that followed: flooded streets, families separated, and the staggering lack of resources. Victoria answers questions from listeners, including everything from the practical (“what did evacuation look like?”) to the deeply personal (“what is a smell that sticks with you?”).
This episode is about acknowledging the scars, honoring survival, and telling the stories we can’t let history forget.
