A Heartfelt Message from Our CEO,
Tinice “Tee” Boudreaux
Because of you, the beat goes on.
Your support doesn’t just fund programs—it feeds a movement. From second lines to solar panels, from Baby Dolls to brass bands, your generosity creates jobs, uplifts tradition, and protects our people in moments when it matters most.
As a culture bearer myself, I want you to know—this is personal. You're not just giving to an organization. You’re standing with the very heartbeat of New Orleans. You’re helping us carry on the legacy of those who came before us and planting seeds for those still to come.
You’re not just supporters. You are our tribe.
You’re culture keepers. Rhythm holders. Resilience builders.
You’re part of the love that holds this city together.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for believing in our work, for standing with our culture bearers, and for helping us dream bigger every single day.
Be More Than a Supporter - Be a Culture Keeper
“Feed the Second Line helps me keep doing what I love—performing and showing up for the culture. When my truck broke down, they helped me get it fixed so I could get to work.”
Clyde “Uncle Clyde” Marshall, Grand Marshal of the Original Wild Tchoupitoulas
“Thank you to the awesome Feed The Second Line family for my water filter. We haven’t had an advisory since Ive had, but even then it was a safety measure that i valued. This has taken a measure of stress out of my life. I can’t thank you all enough all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business.”
Jamilah Yejide Peters-Muhammad (Mama Jamilah)
“It takes a lot to mask—time, money, heart. Feed the Second Line has had my back through it all. I appreciate every job opportunity and all the support they’ve given me. They make it possible for culture bearers like me to keep our traditions alive.”

“Feed the Second Line is innovative, creative, and nimble. Their work is vital to community resilience in New Orleans — from providing mutual aid during the early days of COVID-19, to winning almost $4 million in federal funds to turn local restaurants into solar-powered refuges during storms, to training the next generation of solar installers. We’re proud to partner with them on this journey to build economic and cultural power with New Orleanians.”
Vanessa Toro Barragan, Gulf South Senior Program, Hive Fund
“It's an honor and privilege to be part of Feed the Second Line's organizational history and transformation. We are proud supporters of Tee, her team and FTSL's program. Tee is a tenacious leader who has grown and flourished since the time we met and we can't wait to see what's ahead.”
