BMAC warns of leadership risks
BMAC says industry layoffs raise questions about who will lead next.
“restructuring should not erase decades of profitable progress or come at the cost of dignity and institutional knowledge”
Black executives at risk
Black music divisions and executives may disappear from companies that benefited from their culture.
“the music industry is at a defining moment. the decisions being made today will determine who has access, who holds power and who gets the future of this business”
Long-term concerns
BMAC fears nearly four decades of progress could vanish if Black executives are absent from major record labels.
“if we allow nearly four decades of progress to quietly disappear under the guise of restructuring, my fear is that those positions will be almost impossible to regain”
What it means
