POC Women in Audio Directory

The directory features over 500 people of color who work in audio around the world. You’ll find editors, hosts, writers, producers, sound designers, engineers, project managers, musicians, reporters, and content strategists with varied experience from within the industry and in related fields.

While recruiting diverse candidates is a great first step, it’s not going to be enough if we want the industry to look and sound meaningfully different in the future. Let us be clear: this isn’t about numbers alone. This is about getting the respect that people of color—and people of different faiths, abilities, ages, socioeconomic statuses, educational backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientation—deserve.

The Turn It Up Hall of Fame: Honoring pioneers of gender and music. Women will be heard! Turn It Up was founded to raise awareness of women’s vital contributions to music past, present, and future. These contributions are too often overlooked. As of 2019, only 7.7 percent of the inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were female, according to a Longreads article by Evelyn McDonnell. Turn It Up is creating their own hall of fame, one whose emphasis on inclusion is rooted in a broad and generous understanding of genre and gender. Send them your nominations!
