Why I’m leaving my comfy job to fight for Louisiana
and what Louisiana just proved
In November, Democrats suffered a devastating loss.
It felt like the air had been knocked out of us. People were checked out, burnt out, or just trying to survive their own battles. And more than anything, I kept hearing one thing over and over: Louisiana is a lost cause.
But something in me refused to believe that.
And truthfully? I’ve never been capable of not trusting my gut.
Because underneath all the heartbreak, I saw something no one else seemed willing to say out loud:
People here still care.
They always have.
They just need to be told the truth — and invited into the fight.
Voter suppression in the Deep South runs deep.
It’s not just a policy issue, it’s personal. I grew up in rural North Carolina, in a town devastated by the opioid crisis. I didn’t learn about politics or my rights — not in school, not at home. Or maybe I was just too busy surviving.
This isn’t a surface-level problem. And some politicians — like Jeff Landry — know that. They count on it.
They count on people staying out of the process.
They count on low turnout.
They count on voters being too exhausted or uninformed to push back.
We saw that clearly when Governor Landry was caught on a hot mic saying this election was supposed to be low-turnout.
So I followed my instincts.
I knew we had incredible organizers and organizations already doing the work. But I also knew we needed more.
We needed a strategy that made room for everyone — a digital ecosystem that could meet people where they were, empower trusted messengers, and build something louder than fear.
That meant leaning into digital culture, not avoiding it.
That meant building movements online the same way we build them offline: with trust, authenticity, and creativity.
So I kept organizing.
I volunteered my time. I built content. I supported the people doing the work on the ground.
And then something amazing happened.
On March 29th, Louisiana voters rejected all four constitutional amendments — in a landslide.
Turnout more than doubled what the GOP expected.
We didn’t just beat back one misleading amendment — we beat all four.
And by “we,” I mean a whole community of people doing the work — proving the strategy.
I worked alongside leaders like Dustin Granger. I helped the Young Democrats of Louisiana grow their digital presence into a trusted voice. We did it with no real budget, no outside validation, and almost no media coverage. Groups like Power Coalition, VOTE & No To Them All, Y’all had boots on the ground. The people power was real.
We won with hustle. With truth.
With the kind of online content I’ve been told for years doesn’t move voters.
Turns out, it does.
It works when it’s built on trust.
On storytelling.
On clearly laying out what’s at stake.
On amplifying many voices…not just one.
That’s digital organizing.
And that wasn’t just a win against bad policy.
It was a proof of concept.
So today, I’m officially launching Delta Current Strategies.
A Southern-rooted, Louisiana-grown digital firm built to help campaigns, causes, and communities win: by doing things differently.
We tell the truth.
We trust the people.
We don’t play by the old rules.
And we’re just getting started.
We’re going to keep holding Jeff Landry and the legislature accountable.
We’re going to keep building power — not just for elections, but for the long haul.
We’re going to keep showing up, and bringing others with us.
Because we’re not just losing less anymore.
We’re starting to win.
