Episode: The Black Madonna seeks to diversify electronic music community with her world-renown dance parties
Description: Marea Stamper is better known as The DJ Black Madonna. She’s come a long way since the 90s warehouse parties, and now she reaches global audiences with her blend of Chicago House, Disco and Techno music. The internationally touring DJ continues to support more marginalized voices represented in the electronic music scene and isn’t afraid to voice her political and social views, ultimately working to help diversify the community. The Black Madonna spoke with Jill Hopkins about her beginnings at Chicago's Smart Bar and the "We Still Believe" parties that now sell out all over the world.
