about her experiences in the industry in our July issue. How has she fared since?
The ‘Dance Music Is Black Music’ issue was groundbreaking. It’s still rippling through my circle, coming back through my social media. The way DJ Mag put together that issue in an open, honest and transparent way, and right at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests made it very relevant. It’s made a difference and the issue is a keeper, for me.
I had a lot of interesting and positive conversations right after it was published. I’ve always been speaking about racism within the industry, but people generally haven’t been listening. When people read what I had to say in that issue, the moment seemed to present them an opportunity to really listen. I didn’t have a single negative reaction to my interview, thankfully.
