Every March, when Women’s History Month rolls around, the energy just feels different and this year, EMPIRE Records made sure to match that vibe with something special! Their 2nd Annual “Steeped in Power” event wasn’t just another industry gathering it was a whole vibe!
Picture this: a room full of women who really move the culture, dressed to impress, tea cups in hand, but this wasn’t just about aesthetics. This was about power, strategy, and pouring knowledge into one another. Designed as an elevated, high-tea-style experience, the event created space for real conversations, not just surface-level networking.
At the center of it all was EMPRIE’s president, Tina Davis, who continues to show what beauty and leadership looks like when it’s rooted in authenticity and purpose. She didn’t just speak at the women in the room, she spoke with them, keeping it honest about what it takes to last in this industry and stay true to yourself while doing it.
And the guest list? Solid. Voices like Inayah added even realnesss to the conversations, bringing personal stories that clearly hit home.
The heart of “Steeped in Power” lives in mentorship and connection. Whether it was during the fireside chats or those side conversations that turn into real opportunities, the focus stayed on lifting each other up and making sure nobody’s walking this path alone.
Now of course, Hollywood Unlocked was there to take in this great moment and even got to chat with some of Empire’s best.
By the time the event wrapped, one thing was undeniable: this wasn’t just a moment, it’s becoming a movement. “Steeped in Power” is carving out a space where women in music and entertainment can show up fully, learn from each other, and leave stronger than they came. And honestly? That kind of energy is exactly what the industry needs more of.
