on possibility
“I’ve had the privilege of a multi-year collaborative relationship with Oshun that spans several projects and modes. Oshun has the uncanny ability to meet you at the unmade parts of your vision and see a clear path to making it happen. I have seen her do this with artists and institutions alike. She has an intuition for nitty-gritty logistics and brings them with a generosity of spirit that puts your goals first.
On the Verdant Fund, she was the management muscle on a complex panel review process for the last 4 years. In that process, we needed both rigor and sensitivity to the nuances and differences of Deep South arts ecosystems. She brought a rare combination of hard institutional knowledge and soft skills that gave her a holistic management style. She served the process and our goals greatly. She organized chaos, made it legible, and empowered everyone she touched through the process. I think she is a benefit to any situation she enters.”
