I had an incredible experience in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics recording and hosting the second season of "Meet The AFROBALLERS" podcast. This season featured true legends like Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Stephon Marbury, members of the Nigerian Women's National Basketball Team, TJ Adeshola, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Cassandre Prosper, Todd Ramasar, and Ian Mahinmi. It was an absolute honor to connect with these legends, rising athletes, and business executives from the African Diaspora. Through candid conversations, we showcased their remarkable achievements and the inspiring stories that are shaping the future of sports, entertainment, and culture on a global scale. I’m proud to be part of a platform that amplifies these voices and narratives. I’m excited to bring these powerful conversations to life for brands at upcoming sports and entertainment tentpole events like the US Open, New York and Milan Fashion Week, and beyond.
