Hunna Feedback from listening circles by Nadia Khan https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback Your voice matters and your input is incredibly valuable in shaping our future Hunna events and initiatives for women in the music industry. en-us 2023-09-19 16:23:41 UTC 2023-10-10 10:59:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Found out about Hunna through Instagram womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711174043 2023-09-19 16:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711174043 Expanding the availability of listening circles, workshops, and communal spaces would be beneficial. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711175867 2023-09-19 16:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711175867 I would love to see a diverse range of topics explored at future listening circles, some suggestions are creativity and artistry, technology and how women can excel in these fields, coping strategies to maintain mental health and emotional well-being, networking. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711176757 2023-09-19 16:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711176757 Suggestion: Establish secure environments for women and raise public awareness about personal boundaries and anti-harassment measures. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711178057 2023-09-19 16:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711178057 I found the listening circle experience to be incredibly enriching and valuable. It provided a safe and supportive space where I could connect with fellow women in the music industry, share my thoughts and experiences, and learn from others. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711178689 2023-09-19 16:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711178689 The opportunity to listen to diverse perspectives and stories from women with different backgrounds and musical journeys was inspiring. It made me feel like I was part of a strong and nurturing community of like-minded individuals who understand the unique challenges and opportunities we face in the music world. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711179095 2023-09-19 16:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711179095 I thought the facilitators did an excellent job in guiding the discussions and ensuring that everyone had a chance to speak and be heard. The atmosphere was welcoming and also empowering to hear from other women in the music industry. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711179598 2023-09-19 16:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711179598 Suggestion: Explore the intersection of gender with other identities such as race, ethnicity, and sexuality, and its impact on the experiences and opportunities of women in music. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711180205 2023-09-19 16:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711180205 I propose the establishment of online masterclasses and workshops led by accomplished female musicians and industry experts providing knowledge and expertise. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711180817 2023-09-19 16:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711180817 Creating safe spaces for women and educating the public on personal space, anti-harassment, and basic human rights of respect.. being a woman in the music scene is not an invitation for harassment. I hope we can find a way to illuminate this. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711182085 2023-09-19 16:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711182085 I always saw music as a space for personal growth and well-being, it is a space where there is placation but also contentment (plus I love to dance!). I believe there is a gap to provide hands-on workshops. womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711184663 2023-09-19 16:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711184663 Interested in funding resources to support artist accelerator programs across MENA womeninctrl https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711186651 2023-09-19 16:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2711186651 I propose that we vote on the subjects we want to discuss from amongst a list of "issues" that we pre identify during on of our calls - this will allow us to understand the topic and be prepared for a healthy discussion for our weekly calls. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2713321403 2023-09-20 18:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2713321403 Discuss idea's on how we can get tangible results from our discussions so it's just not just us talking without a clear mission. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2713323093 2023-09-20 18:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2713323093 Value of having women only spaces in Hunna: - Haven't felt completely comfortable in mixed spaces, feel like it’s a safer space. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739706019 2023-10-10 10:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739706019 A big chunk of our traumas are gender based and are a result of systemic and culturally programmed sexism and misogyny, as much as I do believe its important to include men in these conversations I think its important to create an environment of solidarity that minimizes triggers (both conscious and sub/unconscious) https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739706214 2023-10-10 10:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739706214 An example of why men are important is because there are still certain areas where women haven't made significant progress yet. Personally, I have encountered very few A&R people like myself in the MENA region, and I would love to meet more of them, as they are predominantly men. I am also interested in meeting various label founders to learn about their journeys. However, I'm unsure about the number of women who own labels in this industry. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739707322 2023-10-10 10:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739707322 Another important topic to discuss that we avoid is dealing with women in leadership roles who are intimidated by other women and shut you out. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739708115 2023-10-10 10:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739708115 I completely see the value of adding men to the conversation especially in the networking and knowledge sharing. If men are invited to mixed spaces, should it be on a recommendation basis so we can moderate it, particularly for online sessions so it remains a safe space. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739709458 2023-10-10 10:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739709458 Hunna should do in person workshops or seminars at international conferences eg. ADE. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739710761 2023-10-10 10:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739710761 Hunna 'ambassadors' could represent in different regions and at different conferences/ events. Hunna delegates could go to different areas and run sessions. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739712248 2023-10-10 10:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739712248 Its important to call men in and "try to" explain to them how their actions are harmful, in case they are not aware, and if that doesn't work then we need to start calling out because that means there is an awareness of the negative behavior and a conscious choice to engage in it https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739712483 2023-10-10 10:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739712483 There is so much value in having women only spaces: collaboration, space of not feeling alone with others who have shared experiences. Makes it less terrifying https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739717152 2023-10-10 10:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739717152 The reality is that very few women are still doing music and there are so many reasons why: whether it is resistance from family or not seeing other women doing it. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739719791 2023-10-10 10:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739719791 I see the support growing through spaces like these and the power of this cohort will get us closer to our personal goal and serve communities of like-minded women as well. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739725266 2023-10-10 10:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739725266 Keep the online listening circles online only for now. First mixed space should be at the XP gathering, and men should be invited to join Hunna as allies through recommendation only for future online sessions so they are trusted and known to the community. https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739729905 2023-10-10 10:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/womeninctrl/hunnafeedback/wish/2739729905
