𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝔽𝕣𝕚𝕕𝕒𝕪 ✨ I’m still in awe about my time in Atlanta last week, with the 2023-2024 Torch cohort. Such an incredible group of young leaders, who are determined to make their mark in the sports industry. I am so thankful for all the support received from my USA Basketball family, April Taylor (CEO of the SVE Firm), our presenters, Adam Boliek, Laura Diaz, Gabrielle Reed, M.B.A., Orlando Arnold, MBA, Dawn Ellerbe, Maria Martin, Mia Berry, Tenitra Batiste, Markesha Henderson, Ed.D., Anton Goff, Kristene Kelly, Ed.D., Kery Davis, Felicia Martin, Nanna Rivers, CPC, ELI-MP and Marquetta Dickens. The wisdom shared was unmatched. Thank you for your commitment to empowering the next generation of BIPOC leaders in sports. And a huge shoutout to our sponsors: The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), Invisible Giants Legacy & Leadership Foundation, Tajah Muhammad, Wesley Stewart, Terrance Jones, Dr. JaQuinda Jackson, Chevonne Mansfield and Harry "Trae" Stinson III. I truly appreciate your support in assuring the students had an incredible experience. When I started at USA Basketball it was on my 30/60/90 day plan to create Torch…but I never would’ve imagined the magnitude and impact that this program would have on so many. As we head into the holidays and a new year, I’m excited about the growth potential and how many more lives will be positively impacted by TORCH. ❤️🤍💙 #linkedinSports #sportsbiz #smsports #leadershipdevelopment #mentorship #students #careermapping #HBCUs #MSIs #payitforward #USAbasketball #USABFoundation #Going4GoldinLife #growingthegame
