Acerca de esta escucha

 No Matter the Water is a five-part audio documentary about what it takes to stay rooted on the Gulf Coast, even as the land and weather change around us. Through intimate, place-based storytelling, the series follows five South Louisianans as they share stories of ingenuity, faith and community. From floating homes to restoring land, each episode highlights how people are protecting what matters: their families, their traditions and their way of life. This series brings listeners into kitchens, churches and backyards to encounter neighbors helping neighbors, local knowledge leading the way and communities doing what they’ve always done: adapting, working hard and looking out for each other. Whether you're interested in disaster recovery, preserving your heritage, or simply hearing how everyday Americans meet hard times with clear-eyed determination, No Matter the Water is a tribute to the strength and wisdom of people who call this place home.© 2025 Ga De Don Ciencia Ciencias Biológicas Ciencias Sociales Historia Natural Naturaleza y Ecología

    Episode 5: Monique
    Jun 30 2025
    Monique is a multidisciplinary artist from “down the road” Saint Bernard Parish. A citizen of the Houma Nation, she grew up spending as much time as she could with her grandmother, learning how her elders lived a life of abundance off the land. When Hurricane Katrina hit, she and her family were suddenly homeless, and the vulnerabilities of where they lived became all too clear. Inspired by the story of a Houma elder in the 1800's, Monique decided to buy land further inland that her community could retreat to when needed.

    De Sha, a nurse and resident of Duson, Louisiana, had been gardening the “big box” way for years with little success, until she met a fellow gardener in CPR class. It changed her life. De Sha now has a prolific garden that benefits from incorporating native plants. Her natural gardening methods use less water and save money. Plus, increasing biodiversity can help address the rising floods and heat. It’s how people like De Sha make a difference in their own backyards.

    Everyone loves Buddy. He’s the uncle you wish you had and a genius hiding behind a thick accent and modest way of life. After an early career of world travel, Buddy settled down in a camp community north of the Morganza Spillway that floods regularly. When the time came to replace his trailer home, he thought, what if I just built a house that can float? Buddy’s home has inspired dozens others in the area, and with some tweaks is a viable alternative to raising our homes on stilts.
