    #5 Solomon Oyemade: ‘Do You Mind If I Sit Here?’

    Solomon Oyemade was a Location Manager and connector in East London whose curiosity and intuition took him to Sweden where he ran the kitchen in an African Drum School for 9 months and started to find his place at the intersection of creativity and social impact. After house-sitting in Costa Rica, California, Mexico, Portugal and Spain he nomadically built Curated Funding, an online library that gives creatives and social entrepreneurs access to an archive of active awards, grants, and funding initiatives. Solomon is currently the Special Projects Manager at Shoreditch Arts Club - programming events that celebrate diversity and grassroots creativity. Solomon’s journey is not the typical one which is why his perspectives and stories are so refreshing.  In this episode we cover:  Using your phone as a mailbox  Anchors rather than titles  Monastic experiences and being alone  Being an experimenter  Grief as a great equalizer  What pervasive belief are you railing against today? The lens of gratitude is not about perfection  Who are you when social expectation is removed?  Mentions:  Newham Youth Parliament  WorkAway Fela Kuti Fresh, (1994) film by Boaz Yakin Links:  https://www.instagram.com/solomonthefounder/  https://shoreditchartsclub.com/
