About Us
Mission Statement: It is the mission of NOLAFemmes to offer an inside look at life in New Orleans, and American culture in general, through the lenses of the women that live here by celebrating not only the Greater New Orleans area and the city of New Orleans, but all of the interesting, off-the-beaten-path experiences both have to offer, with emphasis on the cultural and artistic New Orleans often not seen or mischaracterized and on the personal narrative. It is the goal of NOLAFemmes to incorporate into it’s narrative the story of New Orleans and the Greater New Orleans area though the smaller stories of New Orleans, your stories, in hopes of fostering an understanding of one of the most misunderstood places in the country. In doing this, not only do we celebrate the differences and unique challenges life in New Orleans has to offer, from the female perspective, but we also build bridges on the common experiences of women not only in New Orleans, but around the world.
Thank you for visiting!

What a city y’all got! Just visited in November… Usually when I come home to Chicago from somewhere else, I’m glad to be back. This was the first time I could see myself staying.
Ms. Amy, My neice sent me you link. My husband sat here and cried as we read your blog. My daughter, Charlotte died in 2005. Since her adoption [from New Orleans!] we have had a quest for “normalcy”. For 17 years, we kept ‘haters’ away from her. Some will be there anyway.
I ask you to take advantage of outpouring of love. Do not let her lose her joy!!!
My daughter’s love was cruises, even though she was severly delayed, she had been on 5 cruises and 6 countries. She was developmentally between 2-3 years. I had several people comment, “She doesn’t know she is in a foreign country”: my responce: “She knows she had fun!!!”
That said, Accept the Love, I would love to see her as the Queen of her own Muse parade!!! Post when, I’ll make that trip!!! I’ll even offer my convertible for her to ride in!!!
As a Doctor of Behavioral Health, my faith in people has been renewed by the responces here!
I just stumbled onto your website, its refreshing to read and reflect true Nola thoughts and liifestyle…NOLAFemmes….you’re awesome!
How might I join your group & become an official member of the group? Thx!
How might I join your group as an official member?
Margaret,
I don’t have any openings for writers right now. But thanks for asking!
Thx for your swift reply. In the event you should have an opening please send me a notice. I can send you my resume and writing sample. I was born & raised in NOLA, lived in Acadiana for approx. 25 years and am currently living in the TN mountains. I visit NOLA as much as possible as I long for the sounds of the crescent city – the ships’ horns that signal through the night, trains that roar across the levees (I grew up on Algier’s Point), the Sunday calliope, the music (of course) seeping through every corner bar… Well , you get it. I’m missing it more & more as I write these words. Gratitude. Margaret
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and liking one of the posts
Thanks for the props for my book and the interesting comparisons between Pingyao and the Quarter.
You’re welcome and thank you, Mr. Ellis — I’m so sorry that I didn’t see and reply to your comment sooner!
