Turning Tables NOLA
In 2019 Toure Folkes started Turning Tables to combat the racial inequalities he saw growing in the New Orleans bar community. He partnered with local youth career organizations and industry mentors to build an inclusive space to bring awareness to this issue.
Through their 12 week program Turning Tables teaches their externs all the ins and outs, from cocktails and wine to management, but most importantly they have built a community to cultivate leadership skills to help their young externs advance in their careers.
“It’s all about equity! We need to invest more in the success of our communities and look for talent in places that we normally would not look to cultivate and mold it." -Toure Folkes, Founder
