Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Life Is the Art with J.D. Boychuk
Q: Can you give us a bit of your backstory and how you got to where you are today?
I grew up in Metro Detroit with a lifelong love of art and science, studied at the University of Michigan, lived in Italy and Shanghai, and eventually settled in the Bay Area where I earned an MFA and began teaching. My path included being a professor, creating public art, and building community through galleries, nonprofits, and collaborations. The throughline is using art to explore life experiences and to invite others to interpret and engage with it.
Questions & Quitting with Kirkland
Q: Can you see moving out of this country?
Yes, moving abroad is something explored as a possibility, with consideration given to visas, dual citizenship, and the idea of building a new life with stronger healthcare options.
Hustle, Heart, and Black Girl Magic with Miss Wanda
Q: What inspired the Minipods project and its focus on affirmations in schools?
The project grew from a desire to meet children where they are, using bite-size content and affirmations to replace traditional bells, aiming to sustain engagement and positive learning in classrooms across multiple cities.
Hustle, Heart, and Black Girl Magic with Miss Wanda
Q: How did your upbringing influence your approach to building ABF Creative?
Her roots in diverse urban communities and immersion in both education and the music industry shaped a mindset of storytelling that is inclusive, practical, and community-focused, guiding ABF to create and monetize diverse content while giving back.
Pinball, Purpose & Joy as Resistance with Brianna
Q: How has the pandemic affected the museum, and what kept you motivated during closures?
She recounts the 15-month shutdown, the anxiety of re-opening, and the resilience of the staff and volunteers, which helped the museum rebound and eventually thrive again.
