Sista Soul
Ninth Ward native Sista Soul
was prompted to costume by
her husband Soul Saint.
“I’ve spent the last 10 years
taking photos from the
sidelines of the New Orleans
Saints games. The thousands
of fans who watch the games
from home, and even many
who are in the stadium, have
no idea that there are so
many fans who have spent
hundreds of dollars and
hours of their time to make
these fantastic costumes.
Their stories are as unique as
their costumes.”
