In response to the news of a boom of African-Americans being disproportionately harmed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BET has wasted no time and have stepped up to create initiatives to support communities of color affected by coronavirus.

BET teamed with the NAACP, United Way Worldwide, leaders in the African American creative, civil rights and business communities to provide financial, educational and community support directly to Black communities hit hardest by this crisis.

One of the initiatives includes the the “Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort” broadcast special which aired WED, April 22 at 8 PM ET. Many artists and entertainers joined forces to spread knowledge and joy during this rough time in our world.

As a response to the current stay-at-home orders throughout the country, which are severely impacting our music and entertainment industry, BBE Presents… The WOMEN HEAR Music Conference, focusing on women in music and the music business industry.

We have included a full conference schedule, including networking sessions and a Main Stage line-up of 6 women at the tops of different parts of the music industry, all on-line!

The worldwide pandemic and shut downs have impacted all of us. Some things will change for the better and some things may never be the same. Let’s bring together our knowledge, strength, and creativity as artists, musicians, business owners, managers, lawyers, writers and creatives, to create the post shut down world that we want to see.

We are all in this together! Women Hear!
