We ( @laurenhindman + @ajhanaikeaton) wrote an @SBJ article praising the W’s culture for the way they use fashion to express their diversity. In turn, the #WNBADraft provides the most inclusive, anti-troll, online space in sport. Click the link in my bio for the full article!

Jackie Keller, VP, Hospitality at #TeamWass, once considered a career as a choreographer. Now she does the delicate dance of ensuring our hospitality events go off without a hitch. After working hard behind-the-scenes, she takes center stage, sharing career advice, how the warmth of family gatherings growing up made her want to bring that energy to others in her current role, and her family’s influence on her favorite sports moments.

Eden Andu, Director, HR Employee Relations and DEI at #TeamWass, discusses the quality of leadership needed in the advertising industry to ensure there is continued progress in the diversity, equity and inclusion space with @TheDrumNetwork.
“To me, true leadership is recognizing when we need to step aside, listen, and allow others to take up space, especially when that person [the leader] should not or can’t. It’s about letting go and truly cultivating the space.”

If you’re an educator, a parent, a #Floridian an American - we need YOU! This new academic curriculum requiring teachers to instruct middle school students that enslaved people "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” is reckless.

Alanna Hernandez, EVP, Business Affairs and Operations, Team Sports at #TeamWass, never imagined being in the position she’s in today. In a role where relationships are key, Alanna has been able to excel at making connections along her journey. Now, as a mother of two little girls, she sees the sports world moving closer and closer to becoming more equitable - and her work is helping to bridge that gap.

One of the most brilliant ads & ways to promote women’s sports I’ve ever seen.
Even if you don’t like soccer, stay till the end.
They did an incredible job revealing biases that exist around men & women athletes. xitter.cf/838_carlisle/status/16…

"Keaton hopes that more Black-owned, Black-women-featured companies, as well as other companies and products really think about how Black women athletes are so unique to a niche area of sports." @MNSpokesman

and today’s incident is a clear reminder of that.
We cannot celebrate these women and their leadership without also protecting them.
It’s past time for charters and enhanced security measures for all players.

Brittney Griner and the @WNBA players are leaders who inspire hope for a better, more inclusive and less divided America. They are celebrated for the ways their activism inspires positive change. In doing that, they also become targets for hate, threats and violence [1/2]
