About this event
The pandemic and the BLM protests have placed conversations about equity on the table of topics we need to examine. All artists have been affected by the pandemic, however, many Black artists say they face a tougher time navigating both of these situations. How do we overcome these situations? We asked our panelists to weigh in on this.
PANELISTS: Bushra Junaid, Ontario Arts Council; Demitrius Nath, Mississauga Music; David “Click” Cox, Music Manager & Artist consultant, Courtney “Uno” Allen, Artist Manager Demetrius Nath, Mississauga Music
