Growing up in southern Louisiana then going on tumblr makes it very apparent to me how small of a population Cajuns make up and how little people really know about us. Looking at the Cajun tag most of it is related to food that isn’t even really Cajun, a lot of it is Nola food there’s some cajuns in New Orleans but acadiana is where the heart of Cajun culture is. Most cajuns I know live out in the rural areas, not in the bayous but that’s because my family is from the Cajun prairies. I’m sure a lot of people think we all just live in the swamps though.

Hey ghouls!
Welcome to my page! I’m sure this is lame but it’s me.
I’m a tiny artist from southern Louisiana who really enjoys the weird.
I would love to get my art out there and hopefully it find people who love it! Or maybe they’re not sure? Either way. I appreciate each and every one of you! 🖤🖤

I really wish there was better Cajun representation in media. Pretty much every time Cajuns are portrayed it is in a mocking manner. The best Cajun representation I had as a kid was princess and the frog, it’s saying something when fireflies give better representation than human characters. The song “Gonna take ya there” is amazing and I can understand it fully. I really want to write a book with cajun characters to just make some better representation.
