"While taking a break from her musical career, Tifrere founded the nonprofit organisations ArtLeadHER and Art Genesis in 2016. ArtLeadHER provides visual-arts education and exhibition opportunities to women and teenage girls, while Art Genesis helps organise shows for emerging and underrepresented artists."
"In the past decade, Tifrere has curated more than 40 exhibitions and worked with more than 250 women worldwide. Last year, Tifrere worked with the University of California, San Diego, to create a mindfulness audio tour for its 22-piece Stuart Collection of public art."
"Tifrere grew up in Harlem in the 1980s, and she credits her artist uncle and her art-collecting godmother with inspiring her at an early age. Based in San Diego since 2020, Tifrere's own art collection centres on supporting living Black artists."

Over the past decade, Tifrere has curated over 40 exhibitions and worked with more than 250 women globally. Based in San Diego since 2020, she recently created a mindfulness audio tour for UC San Diego's Stuart Collection and curated a Faith Ringgold exhibition. Inspired by her artist uncle and art-collecting godmother from her Harlem upbringing, Tifrere's personal collection focuses on supporting living Black artists, featuring works by contemporary creators including Derrick Adams, Patrick Alston, and others.
