Women of color have long faced a culture of exclusion in country music, even though its roots are linked with early Black American music. With an increasingly diverse audience and recent cultural reckonings over gender and race, change may be inevitable.

, the number of country music listeners has increased by 33 percent among Black Americans and 25 percent among Latino adults since 2005.

Several white artists, such as Carrie Underwood, Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris, as well as several record labels and country music organizations, have echoed those demands. And if country doesn't want to change, then female artists of color are going to move on without it. Marks recently returned to the studio to work on a project with Redtone Records, a nonprofit record company. She feels supported to create the music she's passionate about now, thanks both to her record company and to fellow female musicians.
