Marie Laveau-A Black Feminist who challenged White Supremacy and the patriarchy
We crush on women every day, and on Wednesday we crush on our Nola women even more! Marie Laveau, as known as the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, was a free woman of color who lived in ante and postbellum New Orleans. Despite her fame and legendary reputation, there is little documentation detailing the life of New Orleans’ most famous and renowned Voodoo queen. What little documentation is available mainly focuses on Laveau’s supernatural abilities, healing powers, and connection to Voodoo ritual. Writer Molly O'Neil looks into the untold story of the life of Marie Laveau and her influence on the Black community outside of her role as a Voodoo priestess.
ViaNolaVie publishes and archives content focusing on New Orleans culture, stories, voices, and creativity, in collaboration with NolaVie journalists, ViaNola students, and community partners.
