We welcome back Kemi Ilesanmi, the former executive director of the Laundromat Project and one of the standout stars of our first season. In season one, Kemi was just about to head off on the trip of a lifetime around 13 countries, including ten in Africa. She promised to come back and tell us how the trip changed her 'What Ifs.' "I'm looking for freedom of movement, freedom of ideas, and freedom of manifestation of those ideas. Right now, it feels like I can only find that by working outside of any singular institution." Kemi talks about creating a "beautiful, joyful, sustainable, cultural infrastructure for black and brown people across the globe" and asks, "What if that were possible? And what if I could help with that? And who else could help with that?"
