Gritty In Pink debuted their February Bandmate of the Month MEGA, who will be making an appearance on the Black History Month special. The February cover star spoke about the challenges she faced in the music industry: “A lot of people underestimate you based on how you look in this industry. Personally, I love when people underestimate me because once I show them what I’m made of, it makes my output look even more impressive. Also, the industry likes to pit women against each other for some reason. I’ve been put in a lot of collaborative situations that gave off competitive energy. I’ve dealt with a lot more challenges due to my race rather than my gender though.”
Tune in on February 15th at 5 pm PT / 8 pm EST via Gritty In Pink’s Instagram for the pre-show event and February 18th at 5 PM PST/ 8 PM EST via Punk Black’s Twitch for
the second half of their Black History Month special; it’s a crossover you don’t want to
miss.
