I always watched Anthony Bourdain’s shows to learn. He showed the GRIT as well as the GLOW in every place he visited. He highlighted the “why’s” of a culture, the path from history that brought it where it is today,

and his HONEST examination of political and social issues created INFORMED TRAVELERS in a world that used to be mostly unconcerned tourists.

If you watched his shows, your travels could never be the same again… You catch yourself asking the questions he often approached,

  1. “How are the people of this city living?

2. “What gives them joy?

3. “What struggles do they face?

4. “What past events have brought them here?”

Even though we are saddened by the way he left this life, his legacy remains a powerful place of growth and healing for humanity.

Ase. Ameen. Amen. and see you in the next phase of existence InshaAllah.

The article below highlights some of the people he connected with and helped in both Lafayette LA and New Orleans LA.
