Summer is approaching quickly and festival season is in full swing. Spring cleaning has begun, or is complete, and so now is time to celebrate. And we have lots to celebrate!

Each May, we pay tribute to some of the women that are working every day to make the New Orleans community a better place for all. It’s always a tough challenge to narrow down our selections, as there are so many that give so much to the city. Our class of 2023 shines with women hard at work in all sectors, from nonprofit to business to the arts and more. We are honored to feature them in the pages of New Orleans Magazine.

While we celebrate our Top Female Achievers, we also celebrate spring as a time for renewal. It’s a great opportunity for self-care with a makeover, either big (think new career) or small (think new hairdo) for new perspectives from the inside out. We’ve got tips and tricks from top professionals on how to transform yourself in body and mind, plus some great spas, gyms and products to add to your self-care wish list. 

To keep the party going, we also have our exclusive monthly columns with all the top bar and restaurant news, a peek behind the menu with two top female chefs, a style guide for campy summer fun, recipes and so much more. It’s your complete guide to food and fun for the month of May, so celebrate accordingly.

Cheers to all!
