What was one of your professional highlights of 2020?

Launching our sports division to focus on helping athletes that attend historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) get their shot at becoming professional athletes.

What advice would you give yourself 5 years ago?

Keep pushing forward and don't stop believing in what you are doing.

What is one thing that can be done differently to promote more diversity in the sports and entertainment industries?

Focus on the individual stories. There are a lot of African-American professionals in the sports and entertainment industry that are doing great things behind the scenes. Highlighting those who may not work at the big agencies but are working just as hard is important to show others they can get into the industry and make a difference.

What is one thing you've learned about yourself during the pandemic?

I've learned that I’m a lot more patient than I thought I was. With things slowing down we've had to even more persistent.

What is your theme word for 2021?

Leadership.
