Women of Color An Intimate ConversationPlay episode
Show notes
What does it look like to release your art directly to the people who love it — no label, no gatekeeper, no middleman? In the concluding episode of the She Who Mothers: Redefining Legacy, Love & Lineage series, host Deneen L. Garrett reconnects with RIMIDI, M.Ed. — Miami-born independent recording artist, founder of Noom Recordings, and CEO of GEM CULTURE™ — for a conversation on ownership, sacred impact, and blooming on your own timeline.
RIMIDI recently released her latest project, JUNO: THE LATE BLOOMER, direct to fans via Bandcamp — a deliberate move away from streaming platforms that leave independent artists with pennies on the dollar. From building her own infrastructure as a label owner to raising her daughters into the mission behind GEM CULTURE™, this conversation traces what it means to mother a legacy fully and unapologetically, on your own terms.
