Episode 77: Creating Your Own Opportunities with Féminin Rör
We’re back with another episode of The Broken Glass Podcast. In this episode, I speak with Miami of Feinin Ror - a publication and organization with a mission to highlight women in the music industry.
We talk about creative ways to make connections in the music industry, experiences with GrammyU, what Feminin Ror does for the community, and how to pave your own way.
Quotes that stood out:
- “It’s important to find something that you’re passionate about.”
- “If you're not gonna give me an opportunity, I'm not gonna sit here and wait for you, I'm just gonna pave my own opportunity.”
- “When artists complain about being taken advantage of by their record labels - There's no excuse nowadays because it's like you have access to the internet, you have access to books, but it's just like, are you going to take the initiative to educate yourself?”
- “Stand firm. Don't let people talk you out of your ideas. Don't let them like dim your light. Don't make don't allow anyone to make you self-conscious.”
- “Believe in who you are believing yourself 210% you'll be able to figure it out. You'll be able to figure out everything later down the line. But it all starts off with confidence.”
