April Breakfast Meeting
at the Doubletree Murfreesboro
In-Person with a Virtual Zoom Option

The Accidental Activist:
Finding the Power to Speak Up for Others

with
Beverly Keel

Beverly Keel will discuss how she evolved from covering the news to becoming a newsmaker as she transitioned from journalism to activism. She will discuss how she co-founded Change the Conversation, which fights for gender equality in country music, and Nashville Music Equality, which works to create an anti-racist environment in the music industry.

About the speaker

Beverly Keel is dean of MTSU’s College of Media and Entertainment and a music industry activist who works for gender and racial equality in the music industry. She was named a national “Change Agent” by Billboard for her efforts with Nashville Music Equality, which she co-founded in 2020 to create an anti-racist environment in the Nashville music industry. She is also an award-winning music journalist whose work has appeared in People, Parade, InStyle, New York, Rolling Stone, The Tennessean, and many other publications. In 2014, she joined forces with Tracy Gershon and Leslie Fram to create Change the Conversation, which has become an influential movement in the area of gender equality in country music. Forbes included her on its national list of “40 Women to Watch Over 40,” a group of innovative women recognized for disrupting industry and society. A Nashville native, she earned her bachelor’s degree from MTSU and her master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
