BIPOC Podcast Creators, has announced that Libsyn will be its presenting sponsor of the BPC initiative, a newly launched program designed to build a premier talent pipeline of multicultural creators and professionals in podcasting and beyond.
BIPOC Podcast Creators is an online community for creators and professionals that are Black, Indigenous, and people of color in podcasting. The group’s aim is to support and nurture these diverse voices by providing integral opportunities to learn, network, and grow. The initiative represents a renewed focus for BPC to amplify multicultural creators and professionals in the space, empowering them to build thriving careers and businesses.
“With the support of our sponsors like Libsyn, we can create a ladder for growth and opportunity that supports historically excluded creators and enables them to reach their full potential in the industry,” said BPC Co-Founder, Maribel Quezada Smith.
“We all know that building a successful career requires the support of a community to build connections, find mentorship, and access the opportunities one needs to level up,” commented BPC Co-Founder, Tangia Al-awaji Estrada. “We’re creating that community and that talent pipeline with the help of our sponsors.”
“Ensuring a diverse and inclusive pipeline of talent is key to the success of the podcasting industry. And we must embrace the meaningful change that will lead to a community of creators that is more representative of our podcast listeners and society,” said Elsie Escobar, Libsyn’s Director of Community and Content, Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame inductee, and co-founder of She Podcasts. “Whether it’s through our own grassroots efforts, the investment in important research on underrepresented communities, or through the sponsorship of likeminded groups like BIPOC Podcast Creators, Libsyn is committed to bringing more visibility and opportunity to diverse creators to foster a more inclusive podcasting ecosystem.”
“We’re thrilled to have the support of Libsyn as our Presenting Sponsor,” added Tangia Al-awaji Estrada. “Their partnership represents a joint commitment in creating a legacy of equity and opportunity in this industry.”
