Listen "Walking in Your Purpose As Art Admins"
Episode Synopsis
Meet La Keisha Leek, a self proclaimed storyteller. Originally from Tampa, Florida, she is an artists advocate, writer, and arts administrator based in Chicago. She also works at the MacArthur Foundation in Grant Management.
La Keisha is known for her wildly popular publication with Candor Arts, How to Make A Hood, a meditation on the misconceptions of Black bodies. Her years of curatorial experience as the Executive Administrator to Theaster Gates, and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, led her to want a slower pace and to start something new.
