Progressive tech expert, data engineer, and organiser for justice and Black lives movement
Oluwakemi 'Kemi' Oso has been working within progressive tech spaces since 2015. Her 'Left Brain, Right Soul' philosophy leans on her experience as a data engineer and background as an organizer for reproductive justice and The Movement for Black Lives. This holistic approach uses pop culture and accessible language to break down data and tech concepts, making them more accessible to folks of all backgrounds. She has trained thousands of organisers with Re:power, coordinating its Data x Tech Movement Fellowship in partnership with the Ford Foundation. She is the senior programme manager at Cooperative Impact Lab, where she shepherds innovative capacity-building experiments for progressive organisations.
