Why Representation Matters and Why It’s Still Not Enough
The visibility of underrepresented groups at the creator-level is higher than ever before. However, the demographic of individuals who occupy the top, most industry-defining roles remains largely the same. This disparity points to a significant need for intentional diversity within executive leadership as well as a need for the industry to revitalize its approach to supporting disenfranchised communities at the highest levels.

Key Takeaways:
– How positive representation in music and media contributes to the social and economic growth of disenfranchised communities
– A brief look into the shortfalls and successes of modern DEI initiatives
– Ways the industry can champion diversity at the highest-levels
