The Warner Music Blavatnik Center for Music Business at Howard University is a groundbreaking program designed to equip the next generation of Black music executives with the skills, knowledge, and network to thrive in the music industry. Established in partnership with Warner Music Group and the Blavatnik Family Foundation, the center provides students with hands-on experience, industry mentorship, and exclusive access to top executives and creatives in the music business.

As a member of the 3rd cohort of the Fellowship Program for Music Business, I had the privilege of deepening my understanding of the music industry through real-world projects, strategic coursework, and direct engagement with industry leaders.

Additionally, I achieved Chartmetric and Social Justice certification, further expanding my expertise in music data analysis and the intersection of music and social impact.
