My name is Jorge Miguel Rodas and I am a first-generation New Orleanian/American. My folks came to New Orleans from Honduras and Guatemala and I’ve been here ever since. The majority of my life has been dedicated to the study, and later the teaching, of classical music. My instrument, the viola, is something I hold close to my heart. For a time, it was really the only creative medium I had. Enter #TurningtablesNola, which has introduced a new way of expressing myself through spirits and given me so much knowledge I would otherwise never have gotten. The people I’ve met and the support system I’ve had at Turning Tables feels like an extension my support network. And to all my comrades out there, remember, “We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
