Tomorrow, we're launching the ***A3C Open Letter Series*** to connect a network of hustlers and go-getters with a few of today's most influential names in Hip-hop! 

Both public and personal, the raw authenticity of an open letter has the power to inspire and enlighten. Featuring letters written by industry thought-leaders such as The Breakfast Club's [Angela Ye](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi9v-yS4dTVAhUG1CYKHZdXBsQQFggmMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.a3cfestival.com%2Flist%2Fa3c-celebrates-angela-yee-karen-civil-other-dynamic-women-in-hip-hop&usg=AFQjCNFzXdPPnh4Rtzj3cC1v6M4qd0g80Q), SRC Record's [Steve Rifkind](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwju8bq44dTVAhVC4SYKHXnkBSMQFggmMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.a3cfestival.com%2Flist%2Fcombat-jack-and-steve-rifkind-discuss-the-music-industry-at-a3c-2017&usg=AFQjCNFNJmrI0iUUh2YPnrSf3NoNu-s1MQ) and Twelve Music Group's [Dina Marto](https://www.a3cfestival.com/schedule/conference/mentorship-sessions-women-in-hip-hop), we’re excited to involve featured hosts and speakers from our conference line-up in a campaign that will provide an outlet of encouragement for anyone with their own music industry aspirations!
