For this episode, we sit down with Ciera McKissick, to talk about everything from her being born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, her move to Chicago and all the amazing ideas she's been able to turn into her reality! Ciera McKissick is the founder of AMFM, a creative arts brand based in Chicago. She created AMFM, originally a web magazine, as an independent study project during her senior year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she studied Journalism and Mass Communications. Her work since then has evolved to support emerging and established artists by offering them a platform to showcase their work and passions on a larger scale through exhibitions, web content, and curated events. As a curator and producer, she seeks to combine the arts to cultivate community, access, diversity, inclusivity, intergenerational interaction and a dynamic experience. Her work often involves collaboration through many art practices and organizations, seeking to stimulate community engagement with purpose, mission, or cause. Projects for AMFM have been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Allied Media Conference in Detroit, on Chicago's Fox 32 and ABC 7, and published in the Chicago Reader (where AMFM was named “Best New Gallery"), Chicago Tribune, Chicago SunTimes, Southside Weekly, Afropunk, Millennial Magazine, and more.

Ciera McKissick of AMFM sits down to chop it up with us and we talk about our memories at the AMFM storefront space, current projects she's working on, post-pandemic plans and more.
