In a world where stadium lights shine brightly on athletes and billion-dollar deals are signed in boardrooms, the presence of young Black women is still too rare, but I plan to change that. As a Black woman passionate about the world of sports, I see a future where we are not just present, but also positioned as leaders and creators. I am determined to become a powerful, respected sports agent representing NFL and NBA players. I don’t just want a seat at the table; I want to reshape the room. Growing up, sports were a core part of my life; with close friends and family actively playing sports, I was constantly at a game. In high school I wasn’t on the court, but I was in the gym, managing both the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams. That early experience gave me a front-row seat to the intensity and commitment athletes bring to their game, and it sparked my interest in the business side of sports. As I began to pay more attention to player contracts, endorsements, and off-the-field careers, I realized how vital an agent's role is, not just in making deals, but in shaping futures. My goal as a sports agent is to be more than just a negotiator. I want to be an advocate, a strategist, and a protector of my clients’ long-term success. Too many Black athletes are exploited or unprepared for the complexities of their careers, and I believe it takes someone who understands their background and their value to represent them fully. I want to help my clients secure the contracts they deserve, build strong financial foundations, and grow their brands beyond the game. But more than anything, I want them to feel seen, heard, and respected. Representation matters, and it’s no secret that the world of sports agents is still dominated by white men. As a Black woman, I know I will face challenges, but I also bring something that many can’t: cultural understanding, personal investment, and a fresh perspective. To achieve my goals, I’m currently studying Sports and Entertainment Management at Temple University, building a strong foundation in business, marketing, law, and leadership. I plan to attend law school after I graduate so I can become a certified agent, well-versed in contract law and negotiation. I’m also currently working on gaining hands-on experience through internships, networking events, and mentorships with agents and leaders in sports who can help guide my path. Every opportunity I take is another step toward becoming the agent I envision: smart, driven, loyal, and impactful. But my vision doesn’t stop at personal success. I want to open doors for other young Black women who dream of working in sports, offering mentorship and opportunities that weren't easily accessible to me when I chose this career path. I want to create or grow a network of Black agents, advisors, and professionals who uplift and support one another, fostering a community within the sports industry to care for each other and our players. I want to change the way players view their careers, not just as athletes, but as entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders. Many young athletes (especially Black athletes) are not prepared for the business side of sports or life after their careers. I've seen this happen far too often with my peers. I want to create or guide athletes towards platforms that provide mentorship, financial literacy, mental health resources, and career development tools. Sports are not just a performance but a platform, and I want to help athletes harness their power with intention and purpose. Additionally, I want to shift how the industry views agents, not just as deal-makers, but as trusted partners in an athlete’s journey. This career path isn’t easy at all, but I’m ready for the challenge. I carry with me the strength of my background, the determination to succeed, the support system that I'm building, and the heart to lead with integrity. As a future agent for NFL and NBA players, I don’t just want to win big deals; I want to make a lasting and meaningful difference. The sports world is evolving, and the next generation of athletes needs agents who look like them, understand them, and are willing to fight for them. I intend to be that agent and more.
