Kemi Bello explores storytelling - about ideas, people and community - through the intersections of words, data, design and technology. Kemi was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and migrated to the U.S. at the age of six. Upon learning she was undocumented in high school, she joined the immigrant rights movement as a community organizer. Kemi has also conducted research and policy analysis for the labor rights movement and fundraised at the intersection of arts & culture and social change. She is a math and economics alumni of the University of Houston and aspiring data scientist. She is a firm believer in the need to explore the complexities and nuances of experience of migrant communities in the United States, and seeks to push back against one-dimensional narratives. In her nonexistent spare time, she is working on perfecting her sea salt brownie recipe and spreading the gospel of glitter.
