NOMMO Cultural Strategies 

Founded by Boyd-Pates, NOMMO Cultural Strategies is a cultural consultancy dedicated to transforming the way institutions, brands, and communities engage with Black art, history, and culture. 

Through curatorial practice, artistic strategy, and community partnerships, NOMMO helps organizations create experiences that are authentic, resonant, and impactful. NOMMO has collaborated with museums, foundations, and global companies, including Nike, eBay, and BeyGOOD, to develop campaigns, exhibitions, and initiatives that link Black history, storytelling, and collective imagination. NOMMO believes that cultural work is civic work, and that curating stories with integrity builds trust, fosters a sense of belonging, and creates long-term impact, primarily through innovative African-centered design frameworks, such as Afrospatialism: a multidisciplinary approach to history and curation that emphasizes Black presence in space and time.
