Amplify Your Voice: Mastering Advocacy for Yourself, Your Art, and the Causes You Care About 

Do you ever have imposter syndrome? Do you know what you want but don’t know how to ask for it? Presented by The Recording Academy NW Chapter, this wide-ranging conversation is all about knowing your worth, articulating your value, and using your voice to show up for yourself and for your community. We’ll discuss practical ways to champion your art and the causes you support. We’ll share stories and strategies that will help you navigate all the hard conversations, giving you the confidence to enter contract negotiations, ask for a raise, talk about deal splits, engage with policymakers, and many other issues you might face as an artist or a professional in the music industry.
