“When COVID-19 hit, I knew that as a community-focused organization we had to continue supporting our community in any way we possibly could,” #WCMFounder/CEO Ashley K. Stoyanovstates.“While the weekly Instagram Lives and webinars were reaching an international audience and were a valuable resource, we wanted a way to help further connect the rising womxn songwriter community on a local level, as well as help support local music venues who truly make the local music scenes in these communities special. We have always wanted our events to be a place where womxn songwriters can find their next collaborators for shows and to share resources, and we hope that we can continue doing that even if it is virtually through this pandemic.”
