In Eriks Own Words:


My name is Erik Alexander and my husband and I are from New
Orleans, Louisiana. We have two independently assertive daughters
and an eager baby boy trying to keep up with his sisters.
​
We strongly feel that as an LGBTQ family, especially in the
south, it's important for us and others like us to help light the
way for the ones that need hope. We live in an incredibly
divisive time and right now visibility is critical to help
destigmatize and normalize same-sex families.


We love our children just as any other straight family does, if
not more than some.
Just like them, we would do anything on Earth for our babies. We
do that every single day, regardless if we are two dads.


It is my mission to broaden the one-sided view of the
stereotypical American family. We too are living the American
dream. We are the new normal, a loving family that teaches our
children acceptance of all walks of life and the importance of
being kind to one another.
​Our place in this world is earned, not owed.


My hope is that through my blog, Nolapapa.com, I am able to bury
my insecurities, my fears, and my failures- for all to read, in
hopes to see my weaknesses sprout and transform into
self-improvement, and resilience, and embrace an unapologetic
renewal. My past helped make me who I am today- but who I am
tomorrow depends on how I choose to get there, today.
