Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity & Representation

Modeling diversity matters.  Representation in media matters.  Guided by our Diversity Advisory Committee, we work to ensure that diversity and representation are not just buzzwords that are used to describe what our little viewers see on screen, but rather a dedication to the work of weaving diversity through the very fabric of everything we do. We do our research and work hard to ensure that the music and art of a culture is presented authentically and by someone with the authority to share it.  

Across the My Music Starts Here content and across each season of Songs and Stories, children will see people that look like them, sound like them, or come from a similar cultural background.  They will also see people that look very different from them, sound different from them, and come from very different cultural backgrounds.  They will see real people intentionally and lovingly finding connection with each other through the universal language of music and mutual respect.  They will hear and learn about music from all over the world, providing them with a deep connection to cultures different from their own that spans across time and distance. 

Music is a common language, no matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like, or who you love. Music is a universal human experience and the perfect setting to share a celebration of diversity with children.
