We had the good fortune of connecting with Jerome Parker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jerome, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing is, that it’s not as easy as it’s looks. Many things come up through the course of the day and it can play with your mental health if you allow them to do so.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
In this line of work, you have to have a care and giving heart. You have to really care about being an Caregiver in order to help others that need your time and energy. Being a Caregiver is not for everyone!!!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m from New Orleans, so there’s plenty of things to get into. New Orleans has an diverse selection of food and places to stop by and check out. It’s whatever floats your boat when you visit me! Plus I roll with The New Orleans Saints all day long..

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Yes, The Most High, His Son, my family & my bro Joshua Jackson!!! If it wasn’t for all of them I wouldn’t be where I’m heading now!!!
