Executive Director of the foundation, Karla Redding-Andrews was recently awarded by the Women's International Music Network's, She Rocks Award. Redding-Andrews was saluted with Champion Award.
Dedicated to celebrating women working in the music industry, the sixth annual She Rocks Awards was held on January 26. This year, the event carried even more of an urgent tone in the wake of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements.
Redding-Andrews was recognized for her skill-building programs and life-transforming opportunities that she has help made available through the Otis Redding Foundation.
The proud daughter of Otis Redding, Redding-Andrews is always focused on her father’s philanthropic efforts by overseeing a number of the foundation’s programs that offer young people music education opportunities. These programs include the Otis Music Camp and the DREAM Choir.
