Spotify is celebrating
International Women’s Day by sharing the music and stories of women creators, artists and activists around the world.
The streaming platform’s starting point is
With Love, a podcast playlist series created in partnership with social impact agency
Invisible Hand and production support by
Pod People. With Love honors 24 women who share “love letters” to their past selves or to someone who changed their lives. There are three playlists: for
artists,
storytellers and
changemakers.
Artists such as
Fefe Dobson and
Pyra, songwriters
Jennifer Decilveo and
Kuinvi, creators
Munroe Bergdorf and
Rintik Sedu and activists
Dominique Morgan and
Lauren Wasser share their stories in the collection playlists.
Spotify is also highlighting and donating to nonprofits focused on gender equity by amplifying each organization's own curated playlist. Participating do-gooder groups include:
- The Okra Project: Addressing the crises facing Black trans women, its playlist features Beyoncé, Ciara and Whitney Houston.
- Vital Voices: Uplifting women leaders; Lady Gaga, Chaka Khan, Adele and Diana Ross
- Women in Music: Advancing equity for women in the audio space; Flo Milli, Tierra Whack, Amber Mark, Chlöe and Justine Skye
- Casa 1: Providing shelter to LGBTQ+ people expelled from their homes; MULAMBA, Liniker, Zélia Duncan and Letrux
In addition to these playlists, listeners can find new music by women on the Spot's
EQUAL.
