METAIRIE — Each year, New Orleans Magazine features women who are making a difference across the community. The past year has provided many challenges, but each of the 11 Female Achievers we spotlight here have handled the challenges. They’ve put their time and talents into field as diverse as hospitality, design, non-profit work, business and beyond.
New Orleans is blessed with many worthy candidates. Finding them is the easy part. What’s hard is narrowing the list each year. Still, we are thrilled to honor 11 wonderful women in 2021 and we look forward to spotlighting others in the years to come.
