Episode Description

i've been slowly waking up to how segregated the music industry is. when you consider how much black music has shaped the sound of this country, it's striking that most of the gatekeepers are still white. i wanted to talk to someone who works inside that world and sees it clearly.
.
winter williams is a community builder, event producer and financial feminist based in the bay area. she's worked in finance, raised kids, and found her way back to the arts.
.
we talk about nepotism, willful blindness, the difference between lip service and actual change, and why racism is fundamentally about power and not about what color your friends are.

white people, black music, and liberation is an independent podcast exploring race, music, and what it means to move from *programming* into liberation.
