In late August of 2005, recent college graduate Yasmin Gabriel never thought that her world would be turned upside down. August 23, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit and destroyed the city of New Orleans leaving the people to fend for themselves. After coming home and seeing the damage, she didn’t shut down. She pivoted and dedicated her time to documenting the struggle of college students who survived, so that no one’s story was lost. She had a calling, a check, and a camera, to document “Picking Up The Pieces”.
