The NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias
It’s our last show before Tales of the Cocktail 2024 and our short summer break! This time, we welcome Kaitlin Wilkes and Kristine Bocchino, founders of The Ada Coleman Project! It is a terrific non-profit that supports women+ in the drinks business and hospitality industry. A core part of the program is a database they developed that allows hospitality venues, organizations, and others to identify talent for events, seminars, and much more. We discuss how they got started, the need they saw, and the other programming they do.
