Sports Leadership Events Empower Women Students and Young Professionals Through Panels Workshops and Black History Month Programming

Programming example

My Q1 of 2026 was filled with connection, collaboration, and empowerment through sport — and I'm proud of the impact made alongside incredible people. Let's zoom in on my highlights and give flowers to the leaders making the impact!Speaking & Moderating Powerful Conversations -I joined Georgia State University Women's Basketball in celebrating women in leadership during this year's Women Lead Women Excel Brunch. It was so fun (and a little jarring haha) being a featured panelist as we discussed Personal Finance strategies for surviving your 20s! Thank you Bethany Fortson and congrats again to all of the amazing women leaders honored at this event!Diverse Representation hosted another amazing Sports Agent Bootcamp and it was an honor to moderate the conversation with Shetellia Riley Irving — highlighting her impact in entertainment marketing, her historic transition into athlete representation, and tips on mastering negotiation & brand building. Thank you Jaia Thomas, Esq.! This program is a must for Black young professionals pursuing careers as sports agents!Board Leadership & Collaborative Impact -As a Board Member for Black Sports Professionals (BSP) Atlanta, I am proud that we kicked off the year executing events designed to empower, inspire, and impact the next generation of leaders.Our collaboration with Morehouse College’s Sport Business Association launched a powerful night of panels & workshops on career development and the power of social capital. It was a pleasure moderating our conversation on career pivots and alternative pathways to broaden the students’ horizons. Shoutout to every panelist and workshop leader who participated — your time and continued involvement with BSP Atlanta is invaluable!We joined VET Training for their Black History Month Clinic — an event designed to both develop skills and inspire the next generation of girls in volleyball. League One Volleyball (LOVB) Atlanta athletes took the court to lead the skill clinic, while Dr. Chandra Harris, Ed.D, Sydnie Cooper, Sydney Price, and I led powerful life skills roundtables. Let's keep create more access & opportunity for young girls in sports!Taylor Snow and I were welcomed to Clark Atlanta University for SEMA Week, where we shared perspectives on career twists & turns, building transformational versus transactional relationships, and detailed our journeys in leadership and the power that women have in our industry! Go Taylor!The impact from Q1 is shaping how I'm thinking and planning for what's next in Q2 & beyond. Proud of the progress, proud of the people, and ready for what's ahead. Cheers to doing the work!
