About Art

67. Kemi Ilesanmi


Listen Later

Kemi Ilesanmi has been a DMV clerk, receptionist, business school dropout, Minnesota State Fair ribbon winner, museum curator, foundation officer, and now Executive Director of The Laundromat Project, a NYC arts nonprofit that advances artists and neighbors as change agents in their own communities. She cares about cultural and community care, #BlackLivesMatter, and all things Obama.


She and Zuckerman discuss issues of well-being and taking a sabbatical, what makes you a happier person, actual and false urgency, bringing people together, purpose and what makes sense, showing ourselves to ourselves, defining what love means, the superpower of being vulnerable, what questions we ask, naming, allowing emotion to be part of the work, and love as a radical place of power!
