I am the new director of
the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Los Angeles! Ok, not yet but I should be. Let me tell you why. I have leadership experience (over 20 years
in the Army – I was a platoon sergeant for crying out loud!); I can handle
pressure and stress (did I mention the Army thing – tours to Iraq); I’m
educated (a BA in studio art and a minor in business – and I graduated with
honors); I love art (see the BA in studio art thing); museums like to have
older folks running things – I’ll be 56 within weeks; diversity – I’m black;
need to show some love to America – I’m a #vet and you know this (from above
sentence); I support the #metoo movement (I’m married to my beautiful wife who
is a college professor and we have 4 daughters between us and my mama lives
with us – I’m no position not to support women in all of their struggles – and
again, I can handle pressure and stress); management potential (see everything
above); and I really want to work in the art world – really, really want to.
