Allison Waymyers has had successful leadership experience with The NFL, NBA, and Augusta National Golf Club, Home of the Masters Golf Tournament. Allison discusses her career path as a Black woman in the sports industry. Despite her career success, she encountered unconscious bias, microaggressions, and the intersectionality of being both Black and female in a traditionally male-dominant industry. She also provides her insights into what we all can learn from college and pro athletes about racial justice advocacy and action.
