'Femme House' (a nonprofit educational platform launched in
2019 by LP Giobbi & Lauren "HerMixALot" Spaulding, which aims to create more opportunities for women,
gender-expansive, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ creatives in the music industry) is a brilliant term and title, yet, 'femmedm' feels more inclusive of all genres represented by femme artists.

When partnering with other rising and established femmedm artists, we must consider how to expand our collective mission for inclusivity and
education. How can we give back to our own communities and inspire others to do the same?
