DIVERSITY AT NOLA SHRM


March presents a unique opportunity for our chapter to acknowledge Gender Equality Month (including the nationally recognized Women’s History Month) & Ethnic Equality Month. As a chapter that is committed to equality on all fronts, it is encouraged to reflect on personal and professional commitments to the work of equality and equity and how, in turn, your commitment can shape our local community.  

Let’s continue this work, together.

March is also noted to recognize Irish American Heritage Month and Greek American Heritage Month. During this month, we celebrate the traditions of two heritages that have greatly contributed to New Orleans culture (and beyond), through art forms that include architecture, music, dance, and food. Here are a few resources to explore this month: 

 

To Visit: The Irish Cultural Museum of New Orleans; this museum depicts New Orleans history and the tie it has to Irish culture; featuring interactive kiosks, research and reading library and a unique coffee house. (933 Conti St, New Orleans, LA 70112) 


In addition, attend a St. Patrick's Day parade this month in Metairie, Slidell or the Irish Channel to showcase Irish pride and celebrate the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. 


To Watch: The Story of Ireland; this three part documentary highlights key events in Irish history such as the Ireland/England War, Great Famine and the Easter Rising. 

 

To Eat: Anatolia Mediterranean Cuisine; located in the Irish Channel neighborhood, try authentic, standout mediterranean dishes and desserts. (3100 Magazine St)

 

To Practice: Have you ever been curious to learn a few words in the beautiful Irish or Greek languages? To dive into these languages, try practicing using the free Duolingo mobile app. Language learning is another great way to enhance cultural competence by way of learning common words and phrases.
