Sisterhood of Sound: 10 Years of Saffron

Saffron, a non-profit organisation, has been pushing for gender equality in the music industry since its founding in Bristol in 2015.

After 10 years, the organisation's founder, Laura Lewis-Paul, and one of its alumni reflect on its successes and the work that still needs to be done to achieve equality.

When founder Laura Lewis-Paul first imagined Saffron, she wasn’t planning to start a movement.

Today, Saffron has become a significant cultural force in Bristol, providing a music tech initiative for women and non-binary people, redefining who gets to create, perform, and be heard.

A decade on, Saffron continues to work towards its goal, with its founder and alumni acknowledging the progress made and the challenges that still lie ahead.

Author's summary: Saffron marks 10 years of promoting gender equality in music.
