I’m CEO/Founder of Sports & Entertainment Today—SET, a women’s sports lifestyle platform. Faith and commitment got me where I am today. What’s one trend in media or marketing that you’re buying or selling? One trend in marketing that I’m buying is leveraging social media. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all provide amazing opportunities to push content and activations. How do you define creativity? Creativity is implemented innovation. What’s the project or campaign that you’re proudest of? Why? From films, events and the magazine, this is like asking me to choose my favorite child. More recently, the inaugural SET An Example Conference for the Women of the NFL, which welcomed 100 NFL wives and girlfriends for a weekend of empowerment, inspiration, healing and community. What are you working on right now? Any exciting future plans that you’re able to share? I’m looking forward to our next SET An Example Conference in Miami, as well as Players Paradise Weekend in the Bahamas, June 2019. As a connected fan, what’s the best piece of sports content that you have recently consumed? The best piece of sports content that I recently consumed was an E:60 piece on ESPN about Baltimore St. Francis. What’s been the biggest high and low of working in sports? The biggest high is the reaction/feedback from female fans as it relates to the content in SET Magazine. The biggest low has been watching the division in sports and our nation regarding Colin Kaepernick, the other athletes that peacefully protest and the plight of black men and women in sports.
