In this episode of Music Matters, host Darrell Craig Harris sits down for an engaging and insightful conversation with Dr. Janice McLean DeLoatch to discuss the mission of the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Janice McLean DeLoatch is a passionate advocate for entrepreneurs and women in the entertainment industry. As an entrepreneur and songwriter herself, Janice realized that songwriter awards policies have barred women from achieving parity and recognition in comparison to male songwriters. The impact is many women in the music industry rarely achieving recognition or accolades. Thus, Janice created the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame to honor women whose work represents the heritage and legacy of the world's music songbook. She serves as the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman.
