The HipStory Creator Partnership Program is a collaboration between HipStory and selected Creators who represent, amplify, and exemplify our mission to center marginalized identities in media through music and film and other forms of digital media. We recognize the immense beauty, power, and potential in every Creator collaboration by providing creative support, recording studio access, and marketing amplification through its communication channels. This experimental partnership allows for Creators to maintain creative control of their art, ownership of their intellectual property, and receive the needed support to execute their artistic vision. The overall goal of this program is to create space and more opportunity for synergy and synthesis!
