The Heart of "Rooted In Rhythm": Bridging Gaps Through Music and Community
illi News/10293863

DALLAS - illiNews -- The "Rooted In Rhythm" showcase is a dynamic initiative aimed at amplifying the often-overlooked contributions of Black and Latina artists in the country music genre. The Millennial Maven Creative Foundation is dedicated to reshaping the narrative surrounding country music by providing a platform for these talented musicians to share their stories and showcase their artistry.

This project stems from a longstanding commitment to community building and bridging gaps within creative career fields. For five years, we have sought funding for this project, facing the misconception that "Black and Latino people don't support country music," which has led to a lack of support for artists from these communities. The Millennial Maven Creative Foundation is proud to finally bring this vision to life and prove that there is a rich and vibrant community of Black and Latina musicians who have a rightful place in country music.

Bridgette Jones, Executive Director of Millennial Maven Creative Foundation, stated, "Our mission with 'Rooted In Rhythm' is to challenge the misconceptions that have held back so many talented artists. We want to show the world that Black and Latina voices are not only present in country music but are essential to its evolution and richness."
