Elikem Tomety Archer on How Curiosity Can Open Doors to New Possibilities.
Talent exists everywhere, but the opportunities that allow young people to discover and develop that talent are far from equally distributed. In a recent interview with Bold Journey, Tilting Futures Chief Impact and Innovation Officer Elikem Tomety Archer shares how that belief has shaped her career, her approach to education, and her commitment to expanding what’s possible for young people.
Throughout the conversation, Elikem reflects on the experiences that have shaped her perspective and why curiosity, adaptability, the importance of community, and a willingness to navigate uncertainty are becoming increasingly important. She also explores what it means to create learning environments where young people can challenge assumptions, discover their strengths, and build the confidence to pursue new possibilities.
Her reflections speak directly to the work at the heart of Tilting Futures: creating transformative learning experiences that expand opportunity and prepare young people to thrive in a changing world. Because the future doesn’t belong to those who have all the answers, it belongs to those who remain curious enough to keep learning.

About Tilting Futures
Tilting Futures prepares young people to lead change in a complex world by developing the capacities that make connection across difference possible. Since 2010, the organization has served more than 3,000 students. Its flagship program, Take Action Lab, is an accredited, semester-length program built on an evidence-backed curriculum that develops the durable skills employers, higher education, and civic institutions increasingly recognize as foundational, including agency, self-awareness, perspective-taking, communication across difference, sense of belonging, and the orientation toward purposeful action. Alongside its direct program work, Tilting Futures’ systems change work is focused on making this kind of intentional capacity development a standard feature of how we prepare young people for adulthood, in their communities, in college, and in career.
