In a further step forward in promoting gender parity and women’s visibility in music in South Africa, Women in Music South Africa and TRACE signed a multi-faceted partnership deal this month.
The partnership will see both organisations collaborating on a number of events and projects, including a dedicated virtual event that will bring the expertise and insights that TRACE has to offer into the Women in Music community.
The date and time of the online event and other events in the Trace and Women in Music South Africa series will be announced in due course.
Another exciting element of the sponsorship is the WIM South Africa x TRACE mentorship programme.
Finding and building a relationship with a mentor is often cited as the most impactful resource a woman can have to propel her career and is an important part of Women in Music’s work across the globe. Through “WIMentorship” women share their experiences, insights, and time as a way of creating real and lasting change.
The sponsorship gets underway in July and will see TRACE and Women in Music South Africa exploring other ways of amplifying and supporting women working across all areas of the business, as a way of creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive community for all.
Women in the South African music industry are invited to join the local chapter by following wimsouthafrica on Instagram Here and Facebook Here.
