On behalf of the City of New Orleans, we thank you for empowering, uplifting, and amplifying our voices --- especially black women’s voices.
I proclaimed July 20 "Queen Sugar Day" in the City of New Orleans. 💛⚜️
Throughout the show's 7 seasons, Ava and the entire team have invested in the City of New Orleans by hiring local businesses to cater and employing several locals on their crew. 🙏
