How bean parades are helping to rebuild New Orleans

Devin De Wulf is the Founder of Krewe of Red Beans. Krewe of Red Beans organises regular “bean parades” from their home base, Beanlandia, a community hub offering help to people in need, volunteer opportunities, music, culture, and a social space for the people of New Orleans.

In this episode, Devin shares his inspiration for launching a bean parade and how it grew from a small event into an impactful community initiative that promotes sustainability and cultural unity. He also discusses how his not-for-profit, Krewe of Red Beans, supported the New Orleans community through crises like COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida and the significance of their home base and community centre, Beanlandia.
