She Is The Music Day took to New York City for its third installment and welcomed 100 local college women for an opportunity to connect, grow and empower each other.
Held at Soho’s lush Casa Gessi event space, the afternoon affair sponsored by Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream saw a number of women gather for conversation, networking opportunities, free swag, photo opps and tunes provided by DJ Adi Oasis. Industry expertise ranged from women in Publicity, Brand Partnerships, Production/Engineering, International Marketing and Touring.
Four key speakers who have worked with the likes of SZA, H.E.R., Maeta and more came together for the main speaker conversation to spotlight their experience and support for their industry peers. Among the panelists included Shari Bryant (Founder & CEO of Knip Agency & PINKESTLUV), Sam Selolwane (Head of Promo for Hip-Hop & R&B for RCA Records), Jeanine McLean (President of MBK Entertainment and CEO of Castlight Media) and Shardé Simpson (co-founder of Simpson & Reed, PLLC).
Additional breakout workshop speakers included Kathy Iandoli (journalist and author), Alexis Johnson (Interscope), Gloria Kaba (producer/engineer), Danielle Geiger (Atlantic Records) and Marissa Loil (UTA).
