Lil C's Top Collectives
Ahead of International Women's Day, Prestige Pak mainstay Lil C compiles her top 5 current female-led collectives.
BBZ
Pxssy Palace
Where do I even begin? Pxssy Palace is a special one for me as it was one of the first LBGTQ parties I played at in London. Always putting on the best POC LBGTQ+ DJs & performers, Pxssy Palace has grown from being a house party to a monthly shindig that is a place of commune for the community. The policy that PP promote to protect the safe space they created says it all. The founders of PP are also the funniest, fiercest, most loyal people I know.
Gal-Dem
Online platform & annual print magazine run by WOC & Non Binary POC. Why do I love them? Proof that necessity is the mother of all invention. Liv Little & the conglomerate of amazing women who make up the team of editors and contributors created a platform for so many talented people to publish articles where mainstream media has a track record of not paying attention. Has a bit of everything, music, lifestyle, arts, news & opinion pieces.
Club Chai
Label, Radio show, & event Series out of Oakland, CA run by producers & DJs 8ULENTINA & Foozool. I love them because it is everything I aspire to do. They do it so well, and are fabulous people.
She Said.so
Global network for Women in music. Why I love them? Because when you work in the music industry and look around and see only a handful of women in high positions, or see a lack of representation evenly distributed in all sectors of the industry through companies, this place feels like a space to remind us there are more than just one woman in the room (which often feels like reality). It also has a ‘Job Portal’ which is great place to start searching for roles if you want to get into the industry.
