Join us for a special in-person event sponsored by the Tennessee Diversity Consortium, “Elevating The Voices of Black Women in Country Music”.

County Music has made strides in recent years to become more inclusive and highlight women and artists of color. How are these efforts impacting the experiences of Black women on stage, at venues and behind the scenes? What are the main barriers and how can Country Music better support Black women in their creative and professional journey?

Co-Sponsored by Academy of Country Music, BMI, and Culture Shift Team and hosted at the National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM), this in person event will feature a reception at NMAAM and a special panel featuring Black women in the Country Music industry.
