help of sponsors, Imperial Lady provided a safe, positive and fun environment; which consisted of family-type gatherings, food, dessert, games, prizes, music and festive decorations, for the foster kids of New Orleans and surrounding areas during the holiday seasons of 2015 and 2016. Going forward, Imperial Lady Brand is transitioning to Imperial Lady Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization with underprivileged and at risk youth in mind. It is scheduled to launch summer 2016. The organization will be a mentoring program for girls ages 13-18 offering the opportunity to have all of the privileges of a privileged lifestyle; such as counseling, confidence and etiquette training, seminars, workshops, educational/motivational/historical trips, community service projects and activities, private events, social networking and much more. The idea is to keep our girls off the street and teach them how to be thriving citizens, not only in the community, but in society as a whole. We are here to encourage and motivate our young ladies to become great women and prepare them for a lifestyle of endless success.
