In 2022, he co-founded Bundo Cafebrería in Xalapa, Mexico, and in 2023 he launched the Huerto de Osos Perezosos retreat space in Mexico for creative souls. In 2023, he also launched the Public Planter Publishing Podcast and Consultancy and Nomadic Foundation, which builds off of the legacy work of Nomadic Press. He believes deeply in the transformational power of self-determination, mycelial curiosity and inquiry, justice, and the act of intentionally weaving (and tending to) community. Ayodele Nzinga is a multi-hyphenated artist; a brilliant actress, producing director, playwright, poet, dramaturg, performance consultant, educator, and community advocate.
