She Is The Music Honors Gracie Abrams
When accepting her honor, Gracie Abrams remarked, “It’s an interesting time to be a woman in America, and I firmly believe that the way we survive and thrive is by leading together, by sticking our necks out for each other — especially when it’s difficult — and by being in community as much as possible. To improvise off Margaret Mead if you’ll allow: ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed WOMEN can change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.'”
Attendees also heard powerful remarks from Jody Gerson, Chairman & CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group and Co-Founder of She Is The Music, Michelle Yablans, Exec. Director of She Is The Music, and Andreea Gleeson, CEO of TuneCore.
