Event Recap – #INDEPENDENT MUSIC Panel – November 17
Yesterday I had the opportunity to represent Gender Amplified on a wonderful panel of music industry professionals at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem. The panel was organized in collaboration with the Apollo Theater Academy, an initiative that fosters leadership and professional development in the arts through seminars, workshops, panels and internships.

I was in great company alongside Amadeus (Producer, Platinum Boy Music), Wes Jackson (Founder and Executive Director, Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival), Tamar-kali (Musician, Songwriter), and Steff Reed (Singer, Songwriter, Producer). Each of the panelists brought an interesting and unique perspective to the conversation. I learned so much from their insights.
