Ninth Ward Quotes

“The world can be a hard place sometimes... You have to have heart. You have to be strong. Parents want their children to grow up to be strong. Not just any strong, mind you, but loving strong.”
― Jewell Parker Rhodes, Ninth Ward

“But you...are my sweetest gift. The life surprise that soothed all my ills and gave me my greatest joys. I feel so blessed you are mine.

—Mama Ya-Ya”
