Series Project: Rebuilding a Family Home   

This is a continuing series on Mr. James Roberts, a resident from the small town of Opelousas, Louisiana. In the early morning hours of April 10, 2024, an EF-1 tornado tore through his neighborhood, destroying the family home he had lived in for decades. Roberts, 80 years old, was inside when the storm hit—he heard it coming, and within seconds, everything changed. I’ve been documenting his journey for over a year, capturing his efforts to rebuild a home that’s been in his family for more than 50 years. This series follows his resilience, the challenges he's faced, and where he stands today in his fight to restore what was lost.
