New Orleans News

Pictured above is Leah Angelle Boyer, the 2008 New Orleans Rose. Leah is very well travelled, having studied in various countries - Paris -France, Poitiers -France, Mons -Belgium, and Nova Scotia, Canada.
And of course Leah has Irish connections. Leah has "very close friends in Co. Tyrone, and I consider Castlederg my second home". Leah's great great grandparents on her mother's side emigrated to America from Co. Mayo and Co. Cavan. Another Irish connection is that Leah has been actively involved with the New Orleans Ulster Project for the last eight years. The intent of the Ulster Project is to break down the walls of intolerance and mistrust that exist in Northern Ireland
We look forward to hearing more.
