I'm delving into a story that's as surprising as it is compelling: a small Appalachian town in Ohio with a hidden racial narrative. Here, identity transcends the boundaries of skin color, revealing a community where people raised as black appear white. This isn't just a tale of racial ambiguity; it's a poignant reflection of America's complex racial tapestry. As we explore this town's unique journey, we uncover layers of hidden history and emotional truths about identity, heritage, and the unseen struggles of racial classification. Join me as we unravel the secrets and stories of this Appalachian community, shedding light on a part of American history that's often overlooked.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
