Hi everyone! ✨

For anyone new tuning in, my name is Sabrina and I'm an incoming final-year business student at the University of Toronto. I started this podcast last year to speak to people whose stories inspire me - and this week's guest is no exception.

Madilyne Nguyen-Acosta is a manager of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at Sony Music Group in New York City.

I personally took a lot away from this conversation - Madi not only has a lot of insight into DEI & the music industry, but she also provided actionable career advice that I hope resonates 🤍

I'd love to connect with any of you listening - my socials are below :)
