Friday Figures - 28 Jul

Let’s take another look at the third ‘BE THE CHANGE: Gender Equality in the Music Industry’ study from believe, TuneCore and Luminate, released earlier this year. When we speak of diversity, what do we REALLY mean by inclusion? Going beyond tokenism is where the true test lies, especially when taking an intersectional approach beyond gender. For example, what support is available for those identifying as having a disability? Additionally, how do we look beyond the neurotypical and consider adaptations accommodating for a neurodiverse environment where all can flourish? Often, we raise more questions than answers, but therein lies our challenge to collectively look for solutions to the barriers – something which this report identifies and digs deeper into.
