Jusnah Gadi, the Chair of WIM Tanzania, said
“There are many cultural barriers to overcome in Tanzania, but the challenge is accepted. I want women and girls to realise that a career in music is viable, I want to especially see more Tanzanian women participate at executive level in the industry. Through WIM I know we can affect real change”.

Co-Chair Natasha Stambuli echoed
“We hope the launch of this chapter will encourage more players in the industry to support and help women coming forward and play their parts: we cannot do this by ourselves -everybody has a role to play, more so men in driving equality and equity for women. We are merely driving the chapter, but the reality is EVERYONE has a role to play and we look forward to working closely with all of you to make this work a success.”
With the passion to create a more inclusive and equitable music industry, WIM Tanzania joins hands with global chapters that transcends borders—from New York to Los Angeles, Japan to South Africa, Nigeria, and beyond. Membership to the chapter is open invitation to all female music executives, artists, and allies with the common goal of nurturing equality and growth in the music realm in Tanzania.
