“During my time as co-host of Feast of Words: A Literary Potluck, Lex was an invaluable collaborator. She represented the mission of SOMArts Cultural Center and supported the programming, marketing, facilitation, and creative development of our culinary writing series. Lex is an exceptional leader who is dedicated to arts advocacy, community development, and steering her organization with professionalism, integrity, and grace. Her commitment to nurturing the arts and making them accessible and relevant to all of San Francisco's many cultures is a huge asset to SOMArts and the city as a whole.”
