At the 6th annual Krewe de Pink fundraiser to benefit Tulane Cancer Cancer. Celebrating survivorship. For me that is 16 years.

My fabulous friend @lailamorcoszissis was among the seven survivors.

It was fun to see friends and make new ones. Attendees tasted savory and sweet bites made with Callebaut Chocolate.

Ladies, get your annual mammograms and monthly self examinations.

✨ More beautiful moments from an amazing evening! ✨
The Love Your Heart Gala 2025 at the Ritz-Carlton was truly unforgettable, and we’re still glowing from all the love and support.

Thank you for believing in our mission to empower and educate girls about heart health and heart disease prevention. Together, we are creating generational health!

The Power of Global Connections through the @dmcnetworkllc!

During her recent trip to Toronto, ACCENT New Orleans President and Founder Diane Lyons enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with her longtime friend Pam Graham, former owner of Congress Canada. A perfect reminder of the friendships and partnerships that make our industry so special.

And yes… there was even a little TIFF red carpet magic!

❄️ SNOW IN NEW ORLEANS?! ❄️

We can hardly believe it either, but here we are, bundled up and braving the polar vortex... facing with teeth chattering potentially the most snow here in 130 years! 😲

To keep things cozy, the ACCENT DMC team will be working remotely Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our amazing office manager, Laurie Singletary, can be reached during normal business hours at 504-524-1227 if you need anything.

(Of course, if you hear reports of a snowman on Carrollton... don't be surprised ☃️)

Weather permitting, we’ll be back in the office on Thursday, January 23. Stay safe, stay warm, and maybe enjoy these once-in-a-lifetime Big Easy snow days! 🥶❄️
