The “Legend” and CHAMPION FOR WOMEN’S MUSIC returns to the international stage for an inspiring interview with friend of the show, Saskhia Menendez!
Saskhia, a Global Multi-Award Winning Innovator, Activist, Podcast Host, and Artist, sits down with JonVA to discuss breaking barriers, championing diversity, and fostering inclusion—all while embracing love and community in the creative world.
She shares her personal journey of overcoming immense challenges—from growing up with two deaf parents, living in care, losing her grandmother at 21, to becoming a young parent at 18—and how these experiences fueled her mission to make a difference in the music industry and beyond.
As a multi-racial trans woman, Saskhia brings a unique perspective to her advocacy. With over a decade of experience, she has served as an Innovator at Keychange, a Board Member at The F List Music, and a LiVE Diversity Expert Panel Member, focusing on representation, equity, and inclusion in the music industry. She holds an MA in Music Marketing (2021) and is actively developing a trans charter for the music and creative industries worldwide.
Saskhia’s work as a creator, activist, and role model has been recognized globally:
Voting Member for the Brit Awards
Inductee, Roll of Honour Women in Music 2023
LGBTQIA+ Role Model & recipient of Global Diversity and Inclusion honours
YouTube channel with over 320k views, amplifying underrepresented voices
Currently, she is preparing new tracks for release in 2024 and hosting the podcast “Music Industry Insights Worldwide.” Her dedication to allyship, diversity, and equity continues to inspire change across the global music and entertainment landscape.
✨ This is a must-listen interview for anyone seeking inspiration, empowerment, and a blueprint for fostering inclusion in their own life and creative journey.
