About Walé Oyéjidé
Oyéjidé, a TED Fellow, is a designer, writer, musician, and lawyer who combats bias with creative storytelling. As the founder of Ikiré Jones, he employs fashion design as a vehicle to celebrate the perspectives of marginalized populations. He’s been working with Mural Arts students in West Philadelphia to examine identity through clothing, and they’ve just installed a beautiful new mural on the facade of Lucien E. Blackwell Library on 52nd Street, an entrepreneurial hub for African immigrants. Read more about it here!
