A free network bringing together mothers across the music industry to discuss the barriers, opportunities and changes to their art, work and creative practice while raising children.
There are a number of universal challenges for mothers in sustaining a career and remaining visible, valued and celebrated in the creative arts.
Led by Alice Ballantine Dykes, founder of MAMA Coaching, this network meets every two months to build community, share experiences, collect wisdom and solutions, and celebrate successes with parents making it work for them.
Together we aim to create the case for return-to-work support from the music and performance industry, and for it to be more inclusive of mothers.
Join the community, and the conversation, and help us initiate change in order to support your personal and professional development as a mother in music.
