Jennifer Tormo Alvarez

Jennifer Tormo Alvarez was the editor of “225” for nearly 11 years, leading the magazine through two print and digital redesigns, three anniversary years, a flood and the pandemic. She is obsessed with restaurant interiors, sparkling water, Scorpio astrology memes and, admittedly, the word “obsessed.” She is willing to travel to see indie bands in concert, but even better if they play a show at Chelsea’s Live.

Jeffrey Roedel

Jeffrey Roedel is a media producer for Louisiana Economic Development, a spoken-word poet and the former editor of 225 Magazine. He maintains long-running columns about creativity for inRegister and Louisiana Life magazines, believing everyone can be and should be creative in their lives. Standing at 6'6," he's often mistaken for a pro basketball player, and he just might be the tallest culture writer in the tristate area (though editors have yet to fact check this.)
