New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I have struck the first two hooks because they talk about family relationships, rather than the subject herself. ALT2 is ok, but we're not going to put a show name on the main page that isn't linked. And is this the most interesting thing you can say about her? You have a lot of detail to work with in the article. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 21:06, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Yoninah! Here are a few more alternate hooks:

ALT3... that the performer Lady Midnight teaches music production and performance to youth experiencing homelessness in Minnesota? Source: "Currently she is completing her third artist residency at Kulture Klub Collaborative, an arts non-profit for youth experiencing homelessness, where she teaches weekly sessions on public performance and album production" [2]
ALT4... that the performer Lady Midnight teaches music production and performance to youth experiencing homelessness in Minnesota and has contributed to nationwide research on the impact of the arts on youth? Source: "Currently she is completing her third artist residency at Kulture Klub Collaborative, an arts non-profit for youth experiencing homelessness, where she teaches weekly sessions on public performance and album production" [3], "...she has spoken across the country on panels relating to the impact of the arts on young people and has contributed to national research projects on the subject published in partnership with The Whitney Museum, The Walker Art Center..." [4]
ALT5... that the performer Lady Midnight is one of three women who announced plans to open a music venue called Auntie's, which will be the only professional music venue in Minneapolis owned by women of color? Source: "There's no professional music venue in Minneapolis that's currently owned and operated by womxn of color. But hopefully soon, that's about to change. The musicians Sophia Eris, Lady Midnight, and DJ Keezy have come together to launch a $5 million GoFundMe to start a new venue in town, called Auntie's." [5]
ALT6... that, ignited by the George Floyd protests in Minnesota, the performer Lady Midnight and two other women announced plans to open what will be the only professional music venue in Minneapolis owned by women of color? Source: "There's no professional music venue in Minneapolis that's currently owned and operated by womxn of color. But hopefully soon, that's about to change. The musicians Sophia Eris, Lady Midnight, and DJ Keezy have come together to launch a $5 million GoFundMe to start a new venue in town, called Auntie's... The artists say that the uprising sparked by the murder of George Floyd, and the recent accusations of abuse in the local music scene that have flooded social media, ignited the need for urgent change."

Approving Alt 3, though a trimmed version of Alt 5 might be acceptable. --evrik ^(talk) 18:33, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
