Chris Cloud will share his career journey of working in cultural institutions. Hear from his perspective about what it’s like to navigate the workspace as oftentimes the only black man in the room, let alone the organization. The title of this talk comes from Kanye West’s song Power, which has been a constant inspiration for Cloud.
