Professionals in New Orleans often seek places of support and a roadmap to navigate their careers. aKrewe NOLA and the New Orleans Business Alliance have cultivated safe, professional networking and development opportunities for underrepresented professionals in New Orleans. In a city that is 58% Black and has a net loss of college students post-graduation, it is essential to support and empower organizations like aKrewe NOLA that bridge the gap of access for local professional development.

-Chandra T. // New Orleans Business Alliance

"Attending aKrewe NOLA's events has been an extraordinarily enriching experience. Relocating back to New Orleans from DC presented me with the challenge of re-establishing my professional and social networks. [aKrewe's creative network] provided a platform to connect with like-minded professionals and fostered an environment where lasting friendships were formed. The depth and variety of connections I've made here are truly unparalleled. This series has been instrumental in integrating me into a vibrant community and has opened doors to numerous opportunities. I'm immensely grateful for the dynamic and supportive atmosphere that aKrewe NOLA offers."
