-The most powerful coven-
[Marie Laveau, Queenie, Tia Dalma, Prudence Blackwood]
9- Marie Laveau (September 10, 1801- June 15, 1881).
Voodoo Queen of New Orleans
I was really excited to do Marie Laveau as she has left a somewhat unparalleled legacy in the American imagination. As a woman of color, she broke the boundaries of the perception of magic and the societal position of women. While not practicing witchcraft per se, as a practitioner of Voodoo, etc. she helped to redefine the understanding of women, power, and autonomy. Trying to tease apart the historical accounts of Marie and her daughters from the cultural identity and legacy they’ve left is very challenging, with key pieces of information about their lives being lost to time.

“ You can’t be in this industry if you’re afraid of a little rejection. You have to study your craft. Actresses make it look easy because that’s the way it should look—effortless. When a great actor does their job they’re leaving a piece of their soul in the room. It takes a little out of you, but that’s okay. Life will take a little out of you, love will take a little out of you. We’re talking about demonstrating the best and worst of the human experience. ”
