Meet the Founder
I'm Austin Paradelas, a Louisiana writer, businessman, and law student with an interest in politics, faith, history, and the culture that binds communities together. This is a place for essays, commentary, and conversation about Louisiana, America, and the ideas that shape both.
I founded this page and community because I believe Louisiana deserves a stronger voice in its own conversation. My hope is to create a place where people can engage in thoughtful discussion, celebrate our state's unique culture, and debate the issues that shape our future with conviction, respect, and a love for the place we call home.
