Femme It Forward, a female-led music and entertainment company, announced today that applications are now open for the Next Gem Femme Mentorship Program. The new initiative designed to empower and increase opportunities for young women of color in the workforce will pair promising talent with female industry titans and entrepreneurs in the music, media, entertainment, technology, and social justice industries.
Through a comprehensive year-long program, mentees will receive exposure to real-time projects, one-on-one coaching, resume building lessons, industry insights and expertise, and relationship building opportunities. The inaugural program will include 200 mentees who are young women of color, with at least half of those participants being current students or alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUâs).

In terms of scale and impact, how would you describe 2020 and the current crisis’ impact on your business and the biggest challenges?
2020 was a metamorphic year for us as it forced us to change the way we connect, but it also gave us the time and space to focus on other pillars of our business. Our biggest challenge is not being able to deliver intimate live experiences, but gathering is such an important part of our society’s fabric and culture and we can’t wait to get back to doing what we love.
What strategies have you and your businesses implemented and/or are you considering implementing to address these challenges?
