Founder & cultural advisor.
I am the founder and director of Galerie36, an intimate contemporary art house rooted in Dakar and open to the world, and the founder of ElevenThirtySix, a cultural strategy and advisory practice working with museums, cultural organizations, foundations, and artists to preserve and promote our shared cultural heritage and creative life.
My work rests on more than two decades inside the institutions that shape public life and cultural conversations: corporate communications at Wachovia through the financial crisis and its acquisition, service as communications director for the Congressional Black Caucus and for Congressman Adam Smith, public engagement leadership at the New York Public Library and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and advisory work with more than thirty institutions, cultural organizations, and artists.
Two decades inside culture, civic life & public institutions begin.
