Q: What does it mean to be a Black woman doing this work with Moms in Music?

A: I think it definitely adds a different type of notch to the belt because we are resilient in general. Although we serve members that are all ethnicities, for me specifically as a Black woman, I identify on a whole other level in terms of being a part of communities that have been marginalized while understanding how important it is to have a voice and to loudly be able to share that with other women who have felt like they’ve been rejected or placed behind closed doors. I think it just adds a different type of motivation and inspiration. Oftentimes society is quick to not only count you out as a woman, but also, count you out when you are a Black woman. We see that happening in the world today in various ways. Being a Black woman is something that I hold near and dear to my heart as I think it comes with an extra set of superpowers. While it’s not something that I feel like I have to lead with because it’s clearly obvious, it just puts a different type of battery in my back.

Q: What would you say is the most impactful part of Moms in Music whether it be with programming, events, etc?

A: When members join our organization, they get access to our member directory that has hundreds of women in various cities and various industries, from entry level to C-suite executives.We’re shared in this common thread that everyone is a mom in music. I think there’s a lot of power in that. So many of our members have told me that they’ve been able to connect with people just by being a part of the directory. That’s more of an internal benefit but externally, we are very active in the community by partnering with local organizations. We’re currently outlining who we’re going to partner with around the holidays so we can give back to moms and children that are in need. That’s something that’s a personal passion for me. I think with the power and influence of music, my goal is to be able to leverage that in ways that we can create real change and impact both internally in our industry and externally by being able to serve.

Q: Throughout this journey of being a founder, what would you say has been the biggest lesson that you’ve learned along the way?

A: I’ve learned a lot of lessons. The biggest thing for me is to trust your instinct. I’m really big on my gut instinct which is what made me start this organization to begin with. It’s from my own personal need. I started this organization because I was craving community. I was the president of a record label at the time and also pregnant. Everyone in my company was under 25 so nobody had any clue about being a parent and so I felt like I was on an island alone. Little did I know that was the seed that was building what is now Moms in Music. I think really being able to lean into that gut instinct and allow myself to be led in that way is really powerful. We often get those little nudges of the spirit, or whatever you may call it, and you can easily question or second guess it. I have really learned to lean into that instinct and into those nudges and it continues to pave the way for me.

Q: What would you say is your biggest superpower?

A: I think I am a natural leader. I know innately how to relate to people and how to identify the best in people in terms of their strengths and helping them to see it. I think that’s a natural gift of mine that I didn’t realize until I really got into my businesses as an entrepreneur and having the opportunity to source and identify great talent. I’ve also been able to train that talent in order to identify their good qualities to help them become great. I have a list of people that come from the ‘school of Brit’ who have started as interns that are now in executive positions. It’s that ability to identify seeds in order to help people become better personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Q: If you could give your younger self any words of wisdom or just send her a message, what would that message be?

A: I probably have a lot of messages that I would tell my younger self, one of them being that it’s not going to happen the way you think it’s going to happen, whatever that thing is. I saw myself being the president of a record label until I got in it and realized I actually don’t want that, I want something else. I want my own. Knowing that, I would tell my younger self to trust and know that it will happen but it’s not a straight path. It will be windy and curvy so just embrace the ride. Enjoy the highs and the lows and just trust the process. When I look at all of my career moves, I realize all of them were setting me up for who and where I am today. When you’re in it, you don’t understand that concept but like looking back in hindsight, it all makes perfect sense.
