Meet Cierra Jackson

Hi, my name is Cierra. I am a classically trained vocalist who has performed for the NBA, WNBA & even in the White House.  Yet, I spend the majority of my time as:
-  a music & entertainment correspondent,
- an entertainment event operations manager providing artist support, and
- a political-driven & community-based advocate in music & entertainment.

Throughout this webpage, you will see my efforts over the last 2 years supporting & encouraging:
-  the Atlanta Community,
- the National Recording Academy Community, and
- the International Community in: 
               - Media,
               - Community Service & Advocacy, and
               - Event Operations & Artist Support. 

Though I have be a part of the music community throughout my life and I have invested time supporting different chapters and members within the Recording Academy over the last decade, this page will primarily focus on my work and philanthropy in the music industry and my efforts of support and service in the past two years specific to the Atlanta Music and Recording Academy Community.  

First, you will see a log of highlighted events I have supported and attended over the past 2 years connecting to the Recording Academy.

Then, you will see 3 sections highlighting my work in:
- Media, 
- Community Service & Advocacy, and 
- Event Operations & Artist Support.

You can click the buttons below to access those sections directly.  Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the work I am achieving within the music industry & connected to the Recording Academy. I hope you enjoy it!

Sincerely, 
Cierra Jackson
