WE: What drew you to Winning Edge in the beginning?
Courtney: What drew me in to the WE was wanting to see African/Black students have the opportunity to win in the field of sports administration.
WE: How did you become part of the Advisory Committee?
Courtney: I became a part of the WE committee by listening and learning from Will Baggett and Kelly Brooks.
WE: Why is diversity important to you?
Courtney: Having Black people apart of sports business outside of competing on the field who understand and will speak up for the culture only makes sense.

WE: What's one tip you'd give to a company considering Gigs for Game Changers?
