ACD has been a sort of surrogate parent, providing valuable advice, mentorship and experiences that have defined my interests, personality and career direction. My involvement with ACD has been overwhelmingly positive.”[/pull_quote_left]
Layo has a deep passion for the arts, and dreams of opening an experimental gallery for young artists of African and Caribbean descent living and working in London.
