"Creators of Color and the summit were everything. Thank you for honoring and recognizing creators of color, like me, whose contributions within the industry often get overlooked. The connections that I made are ones that will last far beyond the summit."

"The Creators of Color program has opened so many doors for me, expanded my professional network, and fostered life-long friendships. I wouldn’t be where I am in my career as a creative director and business owner without Creators of Color."

“The Creators of Color program has helped shed light and amplify my name and brand as a professional creator in the sports and entertainment space by providing a platform for my work to be shared, celebrated, and utilized. I’ve had opportunities to stay connected to the program by photographing events, speaking on panels, sharing insight to continue improving the program as well as continuing to network with my fellow cohort members.”

"Over the past year, Creators of Color has helped me and my career by putting me in spaces with encouraging industry professionals, which has grown my confidence significantly. Confidence goes a long way, and as the imposter syndrome faded, I realized I also belonged in those spaces. I began to speak up more, allowing others to hear my ideas and understand my knowledge of our business, which led to me being requested on more projects. I even earned my first promotion at the NBA at the beginning of this year."
