SPARK :: Fireside Chat with Binta Brown '95

“Society is a reflection, in part, of our cultural and creative industries, so for me being in the music business is also a form of protest, advocacy, [and] human rights work."

Binta Brown '95, Way Back Wednesday

Join the Athena Alum Network on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 at 6 pm for a fireside chat with Binta Niambi Brown '95 about her shift from a successful career in law into uncertainty - and ultimately, success once again - and how your work can be your stand.

Today, Brown, former Barnard College Trustee and currently the founder of omalilly projects, a full service talent management company servicing clients across music, literary, talent and genre, spends her days driving change in the entertainment industry. When do you know if you should make a change, and how do you do it once you've decided?

Moderated by Reni Calister '11.

This event is free and open to members of the Barnard/Columbia community. You must RSVP to attend.
