Follow Up Q&A: A Conversation on Being African American in the Nashville Music Industry

After the powerful conversation last week, we are happy to invite you to a follow-up Question & Answer session on Being African American in the Nashville Music Industry. The Q&A will be via Zoom on Thursday 6/11 from 5-6:30pm CT. This conversation is open to everyone and you will immediately receive the link by email (from Amanda Cates) to attend once you register.

Many of us want to help, but maybe we don’t know how. We thought a good step would be to listen and learn how to be an advocate/ally. Please join us to hear the experiences of some incredible guests in the industry, moderated by Beverly Keel, Dean of MTSU College of Media and Entertainment and Dr. Sekou Franklin, Political Science Professor at MTSU:

  • Charlene Bryant, Founder of Riveter Management

  • Mickey Guyton, Artist

  • Gina Miller, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Entertainment One (Nashville)

  • Shannon Sanders, 2x-Grammy winning producer, Program Director of 102.1 The Ville, and Recording Academy Trustee

  • Kortney Toney, Corporate Partnerships Manager for the Nashville Symphony

  • Candice Watkins, VP of Marketing for Big Loud

Please respect that this is a safe space for our panelists and attendees. While we welcome sharing what you learn from our panelists, we ask that journalists please reach out to nashvillemusicequality@gmail.com before publishing or attributing specific content from the conversation in published articles of any kind. Thank you for respecting this.

We look forward to listening and learning how to be a better advocate/ally with all of you.

Thank you,
Cameo & Amanda
