New Orleans area mothers monetize creativity in business

BY CELESTE TURNER Contributing writer

Modern-day mothers are doing it all: managing households, building businesses and online brands, redefining motherhood as they turn passions into profit.

From answering emails at school drop-off to taking calls during naptime and posting digital content on the side, many are in constant motion, striving to juggle work and family.

Their efforts, often carried out behind the scenes, deserve special recognition in May. Despite their strong presence in the labor force, working mothers in Louisiana continue to face challenges, including access to childcare and income stability, according to WalletHub. The finance company looked at childcare, professional opportunities and work-life balance for mothers across the nation. WalletHub deemed Louisiana to be one of the worst states for working moms.

Still, Louisiana women navigate balancing family responsibilities with entrepreneurial ambition, and @eatenpathnola a few New Orleans-area moms share their success stories about the balance of motherhood.

With nearly 40,000 followers, Nicole Caridad Ralston, a mom to adopted 3-year-old twins and a children’s book author, has spent a decade showcasing New Orleans food on Instagram. Known as a food ambassador, Ralston builds relationships with chefs and restaurants while spotlighting their cuisine and Nicole Caridad Ralston cultural history through her brand, “Off the Eaten Path NOLA.” @i_eboni “I moved back to New Orleans in 2012 and began writing for a magazine about food,” Ralston, who has a doctorate in educational leadership and administration, said.

“It later grew into an Instagram account in 2016, taking a deeper dive into this city’s food and its cultural history.”

Ralston showcases New Orleans’ diverse flavors through the story of two young children discovering the origins of gumbo Eboni Dillon in her 2025 children’s book, “Toodie and Roodie the Foodies.”

“I was exposed to so many different foods growing up,” Ralston said. “Having a mother from Cuba opens your palate to all cultures.”

Today, Ralston owns a consulting firm and splits her time among family, work and her platform, @eatenpathnola. She continues to produce high-quality content daily while also working as a birth doula and an adjunct professor at the University of New Orleans.

“I have a full-time business,” Ralston said. “So I’m really good at managing my time. Weekends are our family time.”

Like Ralston, New Orleans-based esthetician and digital creator Eboni Dillon prioritizes family while

“Balance is something I’m still figuring out every day,” Dillon, a 35-year-old mother of four, said.

“I focus on being intentional with my time, and including my family in my content helps a lot.”

A 7th Ward native, Dillon uses her Instagram account, @i_eboni, to share content on food, family, beauty and the New Orleans lifestyle, while also seeing a surge in followers on Facebook and TikTok. “I use my platforms to share helpful information, resources and real-life experiences that families can relate to,” said Dillon. “I also support Black-owned businesses by bringing awareness to them and helping increase their foot traffic.”

Another mother with a growing social media presence, Katherine Roser, balances raising her 2-year-old daughter, teaching pre-K2 full-time and running a homemade bone broth business on Instagram (@twoladles_).

“Being a 29-year-old full-time working mom isn’t for the weak,” said Roser, who started “Two Ladles” with her mother, Julie Simmons, in December, 2025.

“Working with toddlers, raising my own, running a cooking business and staying true to myself as a wife, family member and friend isn’t always easy, but it’s what

truly fulfills me.”

After graduating from NOCHI culinary school, Roser began cooking at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly built a large client base on Instagram.

“Before I knew it, I had 100-plus clients that I was cooking for,” she said.

After marrying, moving to Dallas, and becoming pregnant, she returned to the area, settling in Metairie, where repeated requests for her cooking led her to create her slow-simmered, “soulnourishing” bone broth.

“There are so many health benefits,” Roser said, noting the ingredients are locally sourced from her friend’s farm, Pearl River Pastures. “This bone broth can elevate any dish.”

Local sisters and moms Morgan Rathke and Taylor Culotta have also built a side business

using social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. As neighbors, they work part-time on their brand while each raises two children as a full-time stay-athome mothers.

“We run the business out of Taylor’s front office in her home,” Rathke said. “This allows us to work through nap time when our kids are home.”

The business, Pens and Needles Co., which now offers paper designs and embroidered items, began four years ago with a single-needle embroidery machine capable of producing one color at a time.

“Today, we have 3 multi-needle machines,” said Culotta, who is expecting her third child in September. “Back-to-school time is our busiest time of year, where we get orders for embroidered lunch kits, nap mats and other

school items.”

To meet demand, Rathke and Culotta recently launched a website and expanded their embroidery business to include hats, bags and other adult items.

“Building our brand while our families continue to grow has been the biggest challenge,” Rathke said. “Time is limited, but we are grateful for the ability to do it all.”

What began as simple posts answering skincare questions has evolved into a full-time Instagram-based business for New Orleans mother Melissa Coleman.

Her path to entrepreneurship began with one goal: education.

“Mrs. Derm really started organically,” said Coleman, a 47-year-old wife of a boardcertified dermatologist. “I spent a lot of time in Patrick’s practice seeing patients overwhelmed, over-marketed and using too

many products. So I started sharing content to simplify and cut through the nonsense.”

According to Coleman, Mrs. Derm, which launched in 2023, allows subscribers to ask skincare questions and purchase products on her website, colemancosmetic. com.

“A lot of brands are built around expansion,” Coleman said. “Mrs. Derm is the opposite. I’m focused on what actually works.”

For Coleman, her platform (@mrs.derm) has fueled growing interest in her skincare products, keeping her busy.

“I want to continue building a platform that people trust,” said Coleman.

Whether stay-at-home parents, entrepreneurs or online influencers, these mothers are reshaping traditional expectations and carving out new paths to success.

New Orleans Public Library hosts ‘Express Yourself!,’ a hangout for queer and trans teens.

Bandleader boot camp, teen hangout and more at public libraries

BY JANE LEGROS

Contributing writer

Every month, the library partners with the New Orleans Pride Center to host “Express Yourself!,” a hangout for queer and trans teens at Main Library, 219 Loyola Ave. From 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. May 14, youth ages 11 to 18 are invited to enjoy games, activities and pizza.

This month, attendees will celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month with a variety of sensory crafting activities that create a relaxing space through hands-on creativity. Participants will use slime-making and modeling clay to craft and sculpt what’s on their minds alongside peers.

Visit nolalibrary.co/expressyourself to register and help plan supplies.

Free shots at the library The Greater New Orleans Immunization Network at Manning Family Children’s will provide free vaccines for children at the Algiers Regional Library, 3014 Holiday Drive, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. May 13. Families with children under 18 can receive free shots. No appointments are necessary.

Bring the children’s birth certificates or passports, and, if applicable, immunization records. If the child is new to Louisiana, all required documents must be submitted at manningchildrens.org/ immunization before the child is seen.

The event is sponsored by the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.

Bandleader boot camp

At organizations like Animal Rescue New Orleans, volunteers aren’t just helpful, they’re essential. Without them, daily operations would look very different.

And yet, summer is when many shelters feel the biggest gap.

Vacations, changing routines and students heading home all contribute to a noticeable drop in volunteer support. It’s understandable, but it leaves a real need behind.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, now is the time.

One of the biggest misconceptions about volunteering is that it requires a huge time commitment. It doesn’t. A few hours here and there can make a meaningful difference.

Whether you’re a teacher with a more flexible summer schedule, a retiree looking to stay active, someone working nontraditional hours or just an animal lover with a little extra time, there’s a place for you.

At ARNO, volunteer opportunities are available seven days a week, with a wide range of tasks to fit different schedules and interests. Some roles are handson with animals — walking dogs, cleaning cat condos, socializing cats, helping with feeding and cleaning. Others support the shelter behind the scenes with tasks such as laundry, organizing donations, mopping, sweeping, dishes and more.

There are even opportunities outside the shelter walls — transporting pets to vet appointments, helping at off-site adoption events, taking photos or writing bios to help animals get noticed.

Not ready to volunteer on-site?

You can still help. Fostering is one of the most impactful ways to get involved. Opening your home, even temporarily, gives animals a break from the shelter environment and helps free up space for others in need. For dogs especially, something as simple as a car ride, a walk in a new place or a quiet afternoon outside the kennel can make a huge difference in their well-being.

Even short-term outings can help reduce stress and improve adoptability.

For students, summer is actually a great opportunity to get a head start on required service hours for the upcoming school year. Many organizations also accept court-ordered community service hours, making volunteering both accessible and beneficial.

This year marks 19 years since I first signed up for a Sunday morning dog-walking shift at ARNO. What started as a simple

Animal Rescue New Orleans rescued Stanley from another shelter after he ‘ran out of time,’ offering him a second chance at adoption. Since he’s only 7 months old, there are plenty of years ahead for fun, smiles, squeaky toys and treats. During his stay at ARNO, he’s blossomed into a charming, spunky and silly puppy. He loves making new friends and thrives in dog playgroups. Stanley would love to join a family that has kids, too. Stanley enjoys a long walk, a car ride or a good snuggle up on the couch together. He can’t wait to make your house feel like a home. To learn more, email adoptionteam@animalrescueneworleans. org or submit an application at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/ adoptfoster/. commitment turned into something much bigger for me, something that has stayed with me year after year. That’s the thing about volunteering. You may show up to help, but more often than not, you end up getting just as much in return.

Shelters and rescues rely on consistent support to keep going, and every hour, every task, every bit of time given truly matters.

Here are a few organizations in the New Orleans metro that have volunteer opportunities. Check with the individual organizations on requirements as there may be age restrictions, etc. n Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO): https://animalrescueneworleans.org/volunteer/ n Louisiana SPCA: https://www. louisianaspca.org/get-involved/ volunteer/ n Jefferson SPCA: https://www. jeffersonspca.org/volunteerprogram n Zeus’ Rescues: https://zeusrescues.org/volunteer/ n Spaymart: https://spaymart. org/volunteer/ n Take Paws Rescue: https:// www.takepawsrescue.org/volunteer-opportunites n Tangi Humane Society: http://
