Summary

New Orleans. ESSENCE’s home-away-from-home has done an extraordinary job of flattening the COVID-19 curve due to the guidance and tireless efforts of Mayor LaToya Cantrell (@mayorcantrell). The city that defines what it means to thrive in the wake of disaster has become something of a case study for the rest of the country and we are so honored to have the chance to unpack Mayor Cantrell’s action plan and how her beautiful city keeps hope alive in the face of disaster. Her love for the city of New Orleans just pours out during this special interview. We can’t wait for you to hear it and find some nuggets of wisdom and encouragement.
