Check out this video of Tracy Kuhns, a member of the Gulf Coast Fellowship's 1st cohort, and organizer/leader of Louisiana Bayoukeepers.  Filmed this June, she talks of the struggles that shrimpers and other residents of Louisiana's coastal communities - out of work, losing their businesses, environmental and personal health impacts - are dealing with after the BP spill.

With props to the Gulf Coast Fund (our partners and collaborators in creating the Fellowship) who filmed this as part of the Bridge the Gulf Project a storytelling initiative promoting cultural survival, environmental justice, and sustainable development in Gulf Coast communities.
