EPISODE SUMMARY 

In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, we sit down with Kudzai Blessing Mutasa, the CEO and artist behind Kudzai B. Mutasa Fine Art. Based in Chicago, Kudzai creates impactful work that celebrates diversity and inspires future generations.  

She shares the meaning behind her name, rooted in religious significance, and reflects on her early connection to art. Despite her childhood talent, she lacked creative nurturing, an experience that now drives her to uplift and support young artists.  

Beyond fine art, Kudzai discusses her expertise as a beauty and marketing professional. She highlights how she has always balanced both careers, using her artistic skills to set herself apart. She also delves into her marketing background, sharing insights on her most successful campaign and the brands she aspires to collaborate with in the future.  

If you're looking for inspiration to explore your creative side, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! Plus, don’t forget to check out her exhibit at Navy Pier.
