The Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale is pleased to share for your viewing pleasure a link to its 2021-2022 Digital Commerative Souvenir Booklet.  

"Despite the various challenges we experienced in 2020 and 2021... worldwide pandemic, civic unrest in response to racially motivated police brutality, a devastating hurricane, and a deadly tornado... we have been blessed to continue making HerStory.

Since our inception in 2013, MKFF has curated any #LadiesFirsts beginning with our Founder, Gwendolyn V. Rainey, being the first African American Woman in Orleans Parish to start a Mardi Gras Krewe.

There have been many other notable firsts including our Blessing of the Streets, as the first dedication service for a Mardi Gras Krewe, and our Crown Jewel Declaration at City Hall, as the first to honor Mardi Gras Queens," said outgoing President, Dr. Takeshia C. Davis.

She adds..., " I am honored to continue to share in the HerStory we create by parading on the streets and giving back to our community, even during the pandemic. Over the past two years, we have safely shared our time and our talents by participating in virtual happy hours and parades, the Future Femme Trunk or Treat, and partnering with the City and State to host "Femes Fight The Flue" and "Femmes Vaccinating Families." We are more than a Mardi Gras Krewe and sharing our blessing with those who need us most is the true essence of FemmeNation..." 

MKFF's Founder Gwendolyn Rainey says, "Over the years, we have seen an insurgence of female Mardi Gras krewes. In this rich culture, we were the missing piece. There was no place for women and girls of color to identify themselves, albeit we accept women of all creeds. The soul of MKFF was designed around these two factors. However, we are not just a Mardi Gras krewe. We are indebted to our mission state which is impactful to this community. 

As our mission statement reads, "the Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale shall be to offer women of all creeds and colors a unique opportunity to promote and support New Orleans’ cultural landscape through participation in the annual Mardi Gras season while uplifting the community through various endeavors of engagement, awareness and social enhancement in order to further the growth of the organization."

We are hopeful that as you review our digital souvenir booklet, you will agree that we have held true to our purpose.

Enjoy!

To the MKFF Family

Thanks for providing us the honor of working on this production!
