Femme It Forward, a female-led music and entertainment company, announced today that applications are now open for the Next Gem Femme Mentorship Program. The new initiative designed to empower and increase opportunities for young women of color in the workforce will pair promising talent with female industry titans and entrepreneurs in the music, media, entertainment, technology, and social justice industries.
Through a comprehensive year-long program, mentees will receive exposure to real-time projects, one-on-one coaching, resume building lessons, industry insights and expertise, and relationship building opportunities. The inaugural program will include 200 mentees who are young women of color, with at least half of those participants being current students or alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUâs).
