Janine Irons: The making of a modern musical impresario | Season 2 Episode 3 6j1a5z

In this episode of Race to the Top, I got to have a bit of a fanboy moment chatting to Janine Irons, who is the CEO and Co-founder Of Tomorrow's Warriors (TW). TW is the most incredible talent development agency with a focus on black and female talent and those facing socio economic barriers. Young artists developed by the organisation have gone on to be nominated for numerous awards and in 2023, The Ezra Collective, who emerged from TW, actually won the Mercury music Award. In this conversation we talk about growing up in London, the struggles Janine had getting promoted in the City, facing overt and systemic racism and the challenges of building a black led organisation. It's an inspirational conversation for anyone wanting to build a business and an object lesson in ambition and resilience. 5p6u5l
