Women’s History Month is in full swing! Here at Jaybird, we’re celebrating with a series of in-depth conversations with some of our amazing clients and friends, who are quite literally making history across the music industry and beyond.

In this episode, Ashley Friedman talks to Shanieka D. Brooks, Program Manager for the Sony Audio Institute for Music Business and Technology at NYU, about the equity we hope to see for working mothers in our industry, the need for students to advocate for themselves when entering the workplace, mental health and wellness, and much more. She also reflects on her years as an Academic Advisor at NYU and how rewarding it has been to see that impact through her former students’ careers today.

Watch the full conversation below and stay tuned for more coming to the Jaybird blog throughout the month.
