If you’ve never been to Mardi Gras, you are missing out on a once and a lifetime experience. From the food, music and overall community, you’re instantly immersed into the culture the second you touch down in New Orleans.
Mardi Gras, initially celebrated marking the end of the pre-Lenten season, is a time where families gather as they purposely use all of the “fats” in the home in preparation for fasting for Lent. Affectionately known as “Fat Tuesday” this is a time family & friends fully indulge in all the culinary delights New Orleans has to offer.
This year we here at Essence headed down to get in the fun, joining the Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale float alongside Beauty Entrepreneur Raynell Steward best known as, Supa Cent featuring Coca-Cola™ Zero Sugar.
