Girls Rock Detroit Empowers Girls, Women and LGBTQ+ Through Music
Since the pandemic, forward thinking organizations are fostering connections with distant places in digital spaces for the benefit of local communities. Girls Rock Detroit and Girls Rock! Rochester are two such organizations, combining resources to serve their shared mission of empowering girls, women, and LGBTQ+ folk through music and education.
In partnering with Guitar Gabby and the TxLips Band LLC, the three organizations together aim to bolster communities that are underrepresented in the music industry by providing Pay What You Can Music Business workshops. Six workshops led by women and gender diverse industry professionals will teach music business basics to aspiring musicians.
Workshops are open to teens and adults, and proceeds benefit Girls Rock Detroit and Girls Rock! Rochester’s annual summer youth camps. Visit www.girlsrockdetroit.org/events to register.
About Girls Rock Detroit
Girls Rock Detroit is a community organization dedicated to fostering creative expression, positive self-esteem and community awareness for girls, women, gender expansive, and transgender people through music education and performance. By encouraging creativity, confidence, and collaboration in a supportive environment, we strive to empower young people to challenge preconceived notions of what they can do, become, and to be engaged members of our communities. We believe it is crucial that all young people have access to equipment and instruction regardless of their socio-economic background, religion, race, gender identity, sexuality or ethnicity.
