Fly Girl of the Week
Who? Zoe, 27 years old
Where? London, UK (born Washington, D.C.; grew up in Los Angeles)
What do you do? I'm curator of contemporary programmes at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Britain's national museum of art & design.
What inspires you? I wouldn't do the work I do if I wasn't constantly inspired by creative people and the impact they have on the world we live in. It's a real privilege for me to be part of the creative process to share people's work with a larger audience. Art with a social purpose really moves me. I'm also constantly inspired by the women in my family - my mother, Donna; my grandmother, Mommy Harriet; and my aunt Debbie. They're each amazing women who are a constant source of love, support and wisdom. And I can't fail to mention Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, whose musical vision inspires me to 'infinitely go against the grain'...
Why are you fly? I think I'm fly because I always try to be true to myself and to other people. I never want to stop learning or growing as a person.
Advice: just do you - and support your fellow fly girls. We can creatively build together; we don't ever need to compete or tear down one another to move forward.
