Andre secures the systems that protect what matters most.
Nakisha preserves the stories that prove it mattered in the first place.
Andre Procope is a Cloud and AI Security Leader with a decade of experience in FedRAMP, the federal program that decides whether a cloud system is secure enough to handle government data. He's worked every side of that world: as an advisor helping companies get through the process, as an assessor on one of the independent teams the government trusts to review them, and right now, leading the federal security department for the VA's largest claims contractor, taking that organization through the process from the inside.
That focus on AI and compliance carries into his own venture. Andre runs an AI startup built around a simple idea: using artificial intelligence to automate government security compliance, the same painstaking work he's spent a decade mastering.
Nakisha Procope is a multidisciplinary creative professional working as a fundraising consultant, cultural strategist, artist, curator, and collector. She creates under the name By Procope.
Her curatorial and collecting practice centers on archiving Black American life across generations, the family, the neighborhood, the body, the fashion, treating ordinary moments as worthy of documentation and reverence. She's especially drawn to work where the materials themselves carry memory, not only through image but through object, texture, and trace.
