POAP #11 Truth with Tayler Ulmer Originally from the south side of Chicago, Tayler is an ethnographer and founder of TUC consulting; helping companies and organizations understand the people they already or aspire to serve. A lifelong student of socio-cultural anthropology, her work relies on her ability to embrace empathy and to deliver impact through a mixed-methods qualitative approach. She transforms insights into culturally compatible and substantive solutions. Her intersectional background has afforded her the breadth to recognize synergies between diverging and complex problems, but also the depth to identify project-specific solutions. Tayler’s previous research spans the globe, and her portfolio ranges from exploring identity politics within the US African diasporic community to millennials’ perception of IoT in homes. Most recently, she worked with Illinois’ oldest theater, the Harper Theater, to re-invent the movie-going experience. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Spelman College, earned a Master’s degree in the Social Anthropology of Development from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, U.K, and a Masters of Science in Global Affairs from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. Her efforts have been recognized and she is the recipient of the prestigious Marshall, Schwarzman, and Truman fellowships. https://www.taylerulmer.com/

POAP #7 Spirituality with Kiam Marcelo Junio Kiam was born in the Philippines and speaks Tagalog, English, and Spanish. They are a US Navy Veteran, with 7 years of service as a medical assistant and respiratory therapist. They earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Master of Science in Health and Human Performance from Pacific College of Health and Science. They are passionate about integrating theory and practice, body and mind, and masculine and feminine forces. Kiam is a practicing visual and movement artist, creating performances and art installations that explore approaches to decolonization through creative embodiment, collaboration, and cultural healing. Kiam also leads mindful movement workshops and holistic wellness coaching sessions throughout Chicago, virtually, and beyond. We encourage to look after these and we can plan something big at the end of the year for the ones that collect all 12 POAPS.
