On Saturday, January 20th, 2018 Lululemon is presenting an Intersessions DJ Workshop in Toronto, hosted by Chippy Nonstop, the co-founder of the initiative which aims to teach women, femme-identifying, and non-binary folks how to DJ.

In an interview with The Fader, Chippy explains why she started Intersessions with co-founder Rhi:

“I was in Vancouver and the scene was literally so terrible, but since we started there have been so many more creative women, femmes, and non-binary folks starting their own nights and parties. Not to say there weren’t amazing women, femmes, and non-binary folks doing this before, it is just really hard in Vancouver because there is a company in Vancouver that has a monopoly over bookings and venues, and they mostly don’t care about the youth and queer culture.”

The panel at the event includes local Toronto talent. Check them out below!
