3 Ways to Be a Supportive Musician

Create Space

Create spaces for women in jazz. Be mindful of the language you use on and off the bandstand to allow for a comfortable performance space for everyone.

Commit to Diversity

Reach out and include women on gigs and jam sessions. Make sure to include them for the right reasons, too. Hire them because they're great musicians, not beacuse it would look good to have a woman on the bandstand.
