Welcome

Waterproof Soul is dedicated to the people of New Orleans and is a tribute to the vibrant history of a city that has been neglected and abused. It is a commitment to keeping the collective memory and traditions of New Orleans alive and thriving.

So,

We have found a realy great platform to sell our jewelry online from!

And since New York City does not consider jewelry as "art" that one can sell freely on the street, we are selling our jewelry exclusively at:


So check us out! pick out some earrings! We make them all and they make really great gifts for friends or for yourself!

Order with code "blog" and get a free gift with your purchase!!!






The Waiting Game....

Why must we wait? Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans hard and five years later, as we verge upon the anniversary of the strong, some people still wait to rebuild lives and come back to their homes.

What freedom is there in America if someone simply is not allowed to go home?

Those that are home, are now faced with an even darker foe. Oil in the water.

My friend said she can smell it from the French Quarter. That the smell is unavoidable.

My friend in Pas Christian, Mississippi, lives on the beach. She uses paper towels to absorb oil and clean up her land.

Shamefull.

For me, who we blame is not the solution. It is a distraction....energy needs to be focused on a solution for all of the wildlife and people whose lives we lose every day.

Waterproof Soul will be traveling to New Orleans in August to do our own detective work.

Stay tuned....

We're back on the streets!

Here's for round two of our street team fundraiser.

It has been an incredible three months. We've had our ups and down and learned a lot.
There is so much work to do. This disaster of an oil spill presents a whole new issue.

Come find us!
Stay Tuned!
