On February 21 from 7 to 9 PM, we’ll be joining our friends at The Groove Temple for their second-annual Chill & Chat—a networking event and conversation series for all women of color aspiring to be DJs. ~ Come out to celebrate Black History Month, learn from incredible Black women in music and meet other creatives.
— ABOUT THE EVENT —
The evening’s panel is comprised of national powerhouses in radio and media, live performance and cultural curation. Joined by Dee Jay Alicia, DJ Shani and DJ I Wanna Be Her, in conversation with Austin musician Nnedi Agbaroji, our speakers will be sharing their thoughts on performing for thousands, carving out a career in music and media and navigating societal expectations as women in the industry.
