The Winning Edge To Join Facebook's Playmakers Black Creative Network
Facebook Becomes Second Corporate Partner in Gigs for Game Changers Initiative
The Winning Edge Leadership Academy is excited to be one of three organizations to join Facebook’s Playmakers Black Creative Network, a brand-new initiative that will amplify black voices while putting their creative talents to the test. The partnership aims to tap into The Winning Edge’s network of Black creatives and provide these young professionals with paid, short-term projects with some of the world’s biggest teams, leagues, athletes and media entities.
In addition to funding these short-term projects, Facebook will host a series of masterclasses for Black creatives on a variety of topics including personal branding, content strategy, video editing, and best practices across both the Facebook app and Instagram.
“Seeing the commitment from Facebook to provide opportunities for Black creatives is game changing. The opportunity to build their portfolio and their network supports our values of engaging, empowering, and elevating the next generation of minority leaders in the industry.” said Corinne Milien, co-founder of The Winning Edge.
