Farewell Christine Osazuwa, new UK Director Advisory Role opens

At the end of March 2023, Christine Osazuwa will be leaving her role as UK Director, after making a significant impact on shesaid.so. Her fresh perspectives and valuable insights have been instrumental in shaping important discussions, solutions, and community growth. Let's take a moment to express our gratitude and admiration for her contributions.

Christine Osazuwa

After a fantastic year as UK Director for shesaid.so I'll be stepping down from the role at my one year mark at the end of March 2023. It's been an incredible privilege to be in this role and to be able to represent gender minorities and encourage discussion, provide solutions, and help foster & grow the shesaid.so community.

During my tenure, I've had the privilege of representing shesaid.so internationally attending ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) where I spoke on a shesaid.so hosted panel about community & music and also served as mentorship manager for our ADE edition of shesaid.so's we.grow mentoring program.

As a representative of shesaid.so I also moderated panels at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg and at A2IM Indie Week in NYC to facilitate discussions on gender inequity in the music industry and highlight solutions such as mentorship & allyship.

Closer to home, I was able to provide insights & recommendations for the Musician Union's newly launched Musicians Census. I also provided stakeholder feedback for the Be The Change Women in Music Study and the UK Government's Women & Equity Committee's Misogyny in Music Inquiry. I also represented shesaid.so on panels at Brighton Music Conference, Musician's Union Members Conference and Keychange's London Meetup and hosted a breakfast and curated a shesaid.so all woman panel at NTIA's Night Time Economy Summit.

In the summer, I hosted an in-person community mixer that featured a performance and an incredibly inspirational talk from Madame Ghandi plus a fantastic set from Lex on the Decks. And in the background, I've recommended women for roles & opportunities, made introductions, celebrated successes, and remained a sympathetic ear for so many underrepresented people in the music industry.

I'll be taking part in and hosting several more shesaid.so events in February & March as I close out my tenure. I'm thrilled to continue to be a member of this incredible community. I remain continuously in awe of the work & dedication Andreea Magdlina brings to this community she's founded. I cannot wait to see what the next chapter looks like for shesaid.so.

If you want to be part of shaping that next chapter, please consider applying for the role of UK Director. It's been an amazing opportunity to grow, learn and give back. If you're interested, you can find more information here and please feel free to drop me a note at christine@shesaid.so & CC hello@shesaid.so if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to answer!
