Gritty In Pink recently hosted a Summer Mixer that promises to be a dynamic blend of inspiration, empowerment, and connection for female freelancers in the music industry. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Live Nation’s Beverly Hills headquarters, the event is more than just a networking opportunity—it’s a celebration of female creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurship.
Gritty in Pink is an organization that provides gigs, information, and community for women within the music industry. Founded in 2020 by Shira Yevin of Shiragirl, Gritty in Pink produces and hosts jams, workshops, and panels, and created the Inpink Marketplace.
At the heart of the evening was a stageside chat featuring Shira Yevin, the visionary founder of Gritty In Pink, and Sylvia Mah, founder of the Stella Foundation. Both women are trailblazers in their own right, with Yevin leading a platform that’s revolutionizing how female freelancers are hired in the music industry, and Mah empowering women entrepreneurs through investment and support. Their conversation is expected to delve into the critical issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, offering attendees valuable insights into how these principles can be applied to their own careers.
But the event is not just about listening—it’s about engaging. As attendees enjoyed delicious food and refreshing drinks, they also had the chance to get a complimentary headshot, courtesy of the event organizers. And as the sun set, DJ Sterling Victorian set the mood with a soundtrack that’s was sure to get everyone moving.
The mixer wasn’t just for those already established in their careers; it was for anyone looking to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the industry. Whether you’re a female founder, a creative professional, or someone looking to break into the music business, this event was an invaluable opportunity to build relationships, share ideas, and be inspired by the successes of others.
Gritty In Pink’s Summer Mixer is more than an event—it’s a movement. It’s about creating a space where women can thrive, where their voices are amplified, and where their talents are recognized and celebrated. If you’re serious about making your mark in the music industry, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
On October 16, Gritty in Pink is hosting a Los Angeles tech event.
