From April 16 to April 18, Cantrell will attend the African American Mayor’s Association (AAMA) Conference.
City officials say the conference is a national gathering of United States mayors and civic leaders committed to addressing health disparities and promoting equity in communities across the country.
The annual conference is said to provide a critical platform for mayors to share best practices, influence national policy and strengthen initiatives at the local level.
The focus of the 2025 conference will be the nutrition access, affordability and the education grant program which is an AAMA and American Black Families for Healthy Access (ABFHA) strategic initiative.
The initiative will support community efforts to expand access to affordable, nutritious food and provide comprehensive nutrition education which are “key pillars in reducing health disparities and empowering families to make informed dietary choices.”
City officials say while in DC, Cantrell will participate in panels and discussions focused on urban public health, food justice, and long-term community well-being.
She has also been named as a grant recipient, securing $125,000 for the city through the Nutrition Access, Affordability, and Education Grant, making New Orleans one of two midsize cities selected for the award.
