  • Ep. 7 - Khelsey Zarraga

    Season 2, here we are! We're doing things a little differently this rodeo -- expanding our guest list to include female-identifying people of color! Our first guest this season is Chicago-based violinist, Khelsey Zarraga. A badass lady who wears many hats as a violinist, chamber musician, community partnerships manager, and hair queen. She had lots to say about how to empower and uplift Black musicians and what that looks like in action going beyond Black History Month. "Give yourself some grace" is our new mantra!

We’re talking all things Kiwi vs German culture, fitting in at Korean church, and stigma surrounding performance injuries. Oh, and of course, we had to get her to teach us some Kiwi slang. Hope your week is sweet as!
