  • “Joi Brown, SVP, Marketing and Brand Partnerships of Atlantic Records is an accomplished executive who recognized through interactions with junior-level employees the need for an infrastructure of professional and leadership development. “It started with conversations I had in my office with some assistants and interns working in the music business. A lot of the same questions kept being asked repeatedly yet the errors they were making were all the same. It hit me that the generation before me didn’t pass down jewels needed to empower people of color in our business, and therefore we haven’t done a good job of doing the same.” She added by saying, “I want to change that narrative. I want to ensure the people of color are afforded equal access and opportunity to pursue their dreams in entertainment.” Seeing the need for change Culture Creators Innovators and Leaders Awards Brunch was born.” Thank you @forbes @lyfeoflyle for featuring our Founder.
