Intersection of Sports & Music

CLICK HERE to view the recording of Care for the Culture that took place on June 25th.

Join us for a conversation with Recording Academy’s leadership, wellness experts, community thought leaders, and industry innovators around wellness and the needs of rap, R&B, and Reggae genre music creators and professionals.

Care For The Culture was spearheaded by the Los Angeles Chapter’s Rap, R&B, and Reggae Leadership Collective. This dialogue hopes to address the impact of current challenges through topics such as mental health, adapting one's craft given the effects of the pandemic, the creator’s voice in the fight against racial injustice, and how to promote care given these stressors on the culture.

Invitation is open to all members. Please RSVP to receive a notification when we are live!
