FROM THE EDITOR

N ew Orleans has great food, stunning architecture, and world- renowned music, but it's our people that set us apart as a world- class city. Collectively, we have a big personality. Really big. In our inaugural A-List issue of Adore, we are excited to introduce our 2019 selection of dynamic and influential New Orleanians who are a big part of our unique identity. In getting to know them, I've been inspired by their focus, passion, and talent. And I've definitely had some laughs. As I interviewed our A-Listers, I couldn't help but think about how I might answer some of the same questions. Favorite walk in the city? Magazine Street. No other American city has this kind of shopping and dining. Why New Orleans? Because I can literally feel my heritage in my daily life. My advice to my twenty-year-old self goes something like this: Learn the best way to say what you really mean and say it to people who are listening. It is in this spirit that we share the words of our A-Listers. We're all in this together and New Orleans is definitely listening! k aty danos
