Community leader and councilmember Latoya Cantrell knows education isn’t only in the classroom: a vibrant city can provide daily life lessons. “New Orleans is a classroom,” she says, that “authors educational experiences on every level … from the music, from the art, from food, from service.” Speaking of service, Ms. Cantrell boasts an extensive background in serving the community, from an early start in the tourism industry to representing the constituents of District B. Take a look at how tourism empowered Ms. Cantrell. We couldn’t agree more with her message: NEW ORLEANS WILL Prosper!
