## Resource

The 31st Essence Festival lit up New Orleans over the Fourth of July weekend, drawing thousands for music, shopping, a car show, and empowering seminars—all in a vibe that’s unapologetically Black, welcoming, and electric. Attendees like Bianca Phillips from St. Louis returned for the pure joy and community, while health orgs like the Black Women’s Health Imperative used the stage to spark vital conversations. Free daytime fun ran from 10 AM to 5 PM, with ticketed concerts lighting up the Superdome at 6 PM. Pure celebration, pure purpose—this one’s a must-see.
