On November 27, 2018, Nadia's mother was murdered during the commission of a carjacking in front of Nadia's home in Gentilly. Nadia's husband Kristian suffered a traumatic brain injury while attempting to stop the crime; her mother died at the hospital. In the wake of this tragedy, Nadia and her family underwent intensive therapy to process their experiences. It was during her long road of recovery, it became clear to Nadia and her family that they were not the only individuals who had fallen victim to the vicious cycle of trauma in New Orleans. Learning about the three defendants in her mother's murder trial compelled Nadia to launch Love Your Neighbor NOLA. Comparing and contrasting the stories of their upbringings, it became apparent to Nadia that the first line of defense in disrupting cycles of violence begins in the home. She came to realize there are violence-ridden communities where trauma begets trauma, a cycle caused by a lack of healthy support systems and easy access to mental health care. Love Your Neighbor NOLA acts as a bridge to families in New Orleans; providing access to tools that propel families to self sufficiency and overall well being.
