YeSeul Kim

Public spaces in cities don’t just discriminate against women, but against anyone who isn’t a typical, able-bodied men because cities have been built by men for men.

YeSeul Kim opens your eyes to the invisible fences embedded in the fabric of our cities that keep out other genders, ethnic minorities, and age groups from feeling like they belong. She urges everyone to not only pay attention, but also to actively participate in building safer, more accessible, and more inclusive spaces – both in our physical and virtual spaces. YeSeul Kim is a business executive with over 12 years of experience across different industries, including higher education, philanthropy, and strategy consulting.
