"TURNING TABLES began in 2019 in partnership with New Orleans industry non-profit and youth career development organizations. Our vision was to create a bar training program that reflected the city we serve.TURNING TABLES was built by industry mentors and introduced to New Orleans with its first graduating class of externs in 2019. What we found that year was a thirst for community within the hospitality industry among black and brown bartenders at all stages of their careers. Turning Tables advocates for equity in the hospitality industry by providing mentorship, educational tools, and platforms for exposure in a system of support for the black and brown communities of New Orleans. Turning Tables is changing the face of hospitality by cultivating leadership and creating a model for equitable access to career pathways.
IT'S A VIBE! Join us in supporting an organization whose program benefits our community greatly!

GOOD MORNING FACEBOOK FAMILY.

Many of you know I had the honor of being on the HBO series TREME for 4 seasons playing Khandi Alexander's husband, Larry Williams. Before now I had never put any of my work on that show on my demo reel. Why didn't I? Laziness is the bottom line. No excuses coming from me.

Well thanks to the brilliance of my editor Hunter Burke I now have a stand alone TREME reel composite of 4 seasons of being a part of a show that will always be near and dear to my heart.

Take a look when you get a minute. Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated.
