\t\tBecky G Opens Up About Identity and Mental Health at Project Healthy Minds Event\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBecky G brought Project Healthy Minds\u2019 World Mental Health Day Festival to a powerful close on Saturday (Oct. 10) in New York with an intimate conversation on identity, creativity and mental health. Moderated by NBC News correspondent Morgan Radford, the panel gave the Mexican American star space to reflect on growing up in the public eye, protecting her peace and learning to tell her story on her own terms.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe whole concept of being a role model is to model this idea of perfection, and I don\u2019t think that is real at all,\u201d Becky G said. \u201cInstead of being a role model, I\u2019ve always felt the responsibility to be a real model, which means I\u2019m not going to have all the answers. I\u2019m not going to get it right every single time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also spoke candidly about therapy, family and her healing journey, saying: \u201cI had to become the person that I needed most, and that\u2019s when Becky G came to be.\u201d The conversation arrives just days before she is scheduled to join Billboard\u2019s Latin Music Week for a Superstar Q&A this Wednesday<\/a> (Oct. 21).<\/p>\n

\t\tBMI Creates Space for Women Songwriters in M\u00fasica Mexicana\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cM\u00fasica mexicana has historically been a male-dominated field, making it more important than ever to champion the women creatives who are shaping its future,\u201d said Lilibeth Patron, BMI\u2019s associate director of creative for Latin, in a statement. \u201cLas Compositoras+ is about fostering community and creating space for connection and collaboration.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tLed by singer-songwriter Erika Vidrio, the camp began at the Fender offices before moving to a Bel Air house, where the participants spent several days developing new music together. Held in Los Angeles earlier this month and announced Sept. 30, the four-day retreat brought together Damaris Bojor, Lorena Cabral, Tania Dominguez, Poe Leos, MXKA, Mari\u00e1n Oviedo, Jacqie Rivera and Adriana R\u00edos to collaborate and write new songs for potential placements.<\/p>\n
