A sonic bloom is a term used to describe a phenomenon of intense and harmonious sound waves that bloom like a flower in the air. It is characterized by its vibrant and melodic qualities, often accompanied by a visual display of light and color. It can be experienced in nature, through music or art, or even in the form of collective human voices. It is believed to have a powerful impact on the human mind and body, inducing feelings of joy, euphoria, and even healing.

In order to understand why we chose to do an awards show, one must first contemplate, “Why is diversity important?” Diversity is important because it leads to a MUCH wider range of perspectives and ideas, which can improve overall problem-solving and decision-making in a community. When we learned that over 70% of podcasters in the US are men….and an even larger percent are white, we knew we had to do something to encourage new people and perspectives into the industry as well as recognize those who are currently working to achieve this same goal.

We don’t need to wait for anyone to recognize and celebrate us – we’re happy to provide that for each other.
