Summary

When you think of the modern playlist, there are a few people who should be thanked. Mjeema Pickett (@ladyjeems), Spotify’s Head of R&B Programming is one of them. Not only has she revolutionized the way we listen to music but she just LOVES it so damn much! Amidst all the social unrest and a global pandemic, we were so glad to sit down and talk about good music with Mjeema and her incredible career story. We got to ask her some dope questions including “How would you describe yourself in 5 songs?” Do you have your answer? Yes? Well share it with us on social sing #YesGirlPodcast!
