HelloBeautiful: Briefly describe your day to day activities and responsibilities as Co-Owners of Infin8 Sync, LLC.
Melorra Green:
7:30AM My day begins with a meditation where I try to maintain perspective of why I am here. I don’t always get it right, but I try. Next, I go straight for my phone where I check emails and text messages to help develop my to-do list for the day (or next day).
11AM I arrive at work – African American Art & Culture Complex, San Francisco, CA – to start my work day which begins with checking each of the galleries and completing a walk-through where I take an inventory of the art to ensure we are ready for any guests who may arrive.
Soon after, I check in with other staff members before I head to my office where my day begins by managing all emails (to and from three accounts) that are too long to send via phone. Most emails are from either artists in a current exhibition, artists in upcoming exhibitions, artist who would like to have their own exhibition or those who would like a tour. So, most of the day I am coordinating and managing the logistics of three exhibitions at a time, while coordinating our newsletter and website updates with our web developer/manager.
