Why are so many porch ceilings painted blue in the South? The story of haint blue ceilings goes much deeper than decoration. From the old belief that blue could keep dirt daubers and other insects from nesting, to Gullah Geechee spiritual traditions involving protection from “haints,” this Southern custom carries generations of folklore, culture, and history. #HaintBlue #SouthernFolklore #GullahGeechee #SouthernHistory #CajunCulture

Did you know Louisiana has its own martial arts tradition known as Cajun Karate? 🥋⚜️ Keichu-Do was developed in Louisiana, combining karate, judo, jiu-jitsu, boxing and practical self-defense. Cajun culture goes a whole lot deeper than food and music yea! #CajunKarate #Cajun #acadiana #SouthLouisiana #KeichuDo

When a Cajun from South Louisiana meets Parisians from France! 🤝 From Louisiana Cajun French to Parisian French, it’s always interesting to see how our language, accents, and cultures connect across the world. Different worlds, shared French roots— #Cajun #CajunCulture #acadiana #SouthLouisiana #FrenchCulture

I go to the gym to sweat, not to smell like I just walked through the entire Bath & Body Works no. 😂 Some of y’all got enough cologne and perfume on to make the treadmill a fragrance counter. #GymHumor #southlouisiana #acadiana #cajun #FitnessHumor

Ever wonder how those crawfish chimneys/holes get there? 🦞 When the ground gets wet, crawfish push mud up from their burrows and build these lil towers so their holes don’t flood. Out here in Louisiana, you’ll see them all over the fields and ditches. Nature’s lil engineers. #Louisiana #Crawfish #CajunCountry #DidYouKnow #LouisianaLife

Those metal spikes on old New Orleans buildings are called Romeo spikes. They were designed to stop young men from climbing up to women’s windows back in the day. Old-school architecture with a purpose. #NewOrleansHistory #RomeoSpikes #NOLAArchitecture #OldNewOrleans #LouisianaCulture

In South Louisiana, we don’t say we jealous… we just hit you with a lil “must be nice.” 😂 South Louisiana sayings that can mean congratulations, jealousy, sarcasm, or all three at the same time. If you grew up around Cajun culture, you know the tone makes ALL the difference. “Must be nice” might be the most passive-aggressive way to say, “I’m happy for you… kinda but not really.” 😂 #SouthLouisiana #acadiana #LouisianaHumor #Cajun #MustBeNice
