Phenomenal Black Music

Jewel Wicker was hired by Spotify to curate a list of more than 30 phenomenal black songs and women for the company’s 2020 Black History is Now campaign. After the list was finalized by the streaming company, Jewel wrote blurbs (about 250 words each) designed to honor each song and woman, highlighting the lasting impact each has had on black culture and mainstream music at large. These stories appeared throughout a 2-day pop-up in New York during the final weekend of Black History Month.

More than 7,000 people attended the exhibit.
