Is Johnny Depp Melungeon? Among his ancestors is Elizabeth Key Grinstead, a figure of historical significance known to be Depp's 8th great-grandmother. Elizabeth Key Grinstead was not only enslaved but also a pioneer in challenging her status in the 17th century, marking a pivotal case in the colonial American legal system. As we delve into Depp's lineage, we'll explore how this remarkable story of resilience and fight for freedom ties into the broader narrative of American identity and hidden history

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
