This woman spoke for an entire state, and maybe even the nation, in one Facebook post.

In our building, we try our hardest to cover and talk about things that you care about the most. More often than not, that involves things that are happening in Shreveport-Bossier, Northwest Louisiana, and the entire state. Most recently, our eyes have been focused on the flooding in south Louisiana which has ravaged much of our beloved state. We thought that the national sources would jump on board after they got their heads out of Olympic coverage, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Enter Heather Cross.

This woman decided to write a letter to these national media sources and tell it like it is. And boy, did she lay it all out. Sometimes, you just need that one person to sit down and send the message you struggled to find the words for. Heather is our beacon of eloquence, honesty and stubbornness.

Here are some of our favorite lines from her Facebook post...

I think you people are stone cold silent about this flood, because really, there’s no agenda to push. There’s no side to take. There’s nobody to blame. So even though you don’t seem in the least bit curious, here’s what’s been happening around here since you left.

I can't help, but agree with her on this. She then talks about how south Louisiana took care of themselves.

While it was still raining, a spontaneous, private, and well-meaning navy of ordinary people assembled themselves. They were black, white, asian and otherwise. They weren’t protesting anything. They got into their own boats, spent their own money, spent their own time, risked their own lives. Black people saved white people. White people saved black people. Nobody asked what color you were before knocking on your door.

She blatantly said that when we needed the exposure the most, it was nowhere to be found.

I suppose a bunch of self-sufficient folks that actually love one another, and are trying to figure things out isn’t as interesting to you as casting gross stereotypes over people who live fly-over country. But we are a little bit baffled after all that unwanted attention we got a few weeks back, when we actually need you to get the word out, you are nowhere to be found.

I highly recommend you take a second to review her post on Facebook. It's long, but it is so worth the read. This is more than just a letter about the flooding in south Louisiana. It's a letter about the priorities in our country in general. Let's focus on what matters most in the word... People. Not conflict, nor agendas, nor scandals. Just people.
