Harmonizing Voices: Global Perspectives on Equality & Diversity in the Music and Entertainment Industries with Saskhia Menendez & Special Guests
Hosted by Saskhia Menendez, award-winning advocate and music industry leader, Music Industry Insights Worldwide dives deep into the evolving world of equality and diversity in the music and entertainment industries. Through candid conversations with special guests, including trailblazing artists, producers, and industry experts, this podcast explores the stories, struggles, and successes of those dedicated to creating a more inclusive and equitable industry.
Whether you're an artist, industry professional, or music enthusiast, you’ll gain unique insights into the challenges faced by marginalized communities and how we can build a future of opportunity and representation.
Alongside the podcast, Saskhia is set to release her interactive educational book (available soon), offering valuable tools, resources, and strategies to empower the next generation of artists and industry professionals. She’s also a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion, with recognition from the Global Diversity & Inclusion Honors and a Trans Charter to help support marginalized voices in music.
Join us in reshaping the global music scene, one voice at a time.
Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries, connects cultures, and touches our deepest emotions. It has the power to change lives, challenge norms, and inspire social change. However, as we celebrate the incredible diversity of voices and talents within the music industry, it's essential to acknowledge that the path to equality, diversity, and inclusion has not always been harmonious.
In this podcast, we aim to spotlight the stories, struggles, and successes of those working tirelessly to make the music industry a more inclusive and equitable space for all. We will delve into the experiences of artists, producers, managers, and industry professionals who are breaking barriers, pushing boundaries, and reshaping the landscape of the music world.
Stay connected and be part of the change:
So, whether you're a music enthusiast, an industry insider, or someone looking to be inspired, "Harmonizing Voices" is your guide to the evolving and ever-inspiring world of music industry equality, diversity, and inclusion.
