“I like learning about other women in sports because I don’t feel like they always get highlighted as much,” said Amanda Oliver, executive vice president and chief legal officer for NASCAR, and a past Game Changers honoree. “Some do and that’s great, but I think for a lot of us who may be in roles that people don’t know about, it’s a great opportunity to put yourself forward.” Speakers and panelists reflected on networking and attendees made the most of it.

Dr. Tunisha Singleton, a media psychologist, professor, and inclusive media strategy and innovation consultant, appreciated the environment. “I feel there’s a lot of synergy in terms of what we all stand for and believe in — community, diversity, representation, empowering women to empower women. That’s important and unspoken a lot of times,” she said. A recurring theme was building confidence over the course of one’s career.

Philicia Douglas, director of partnership and spring training business development for the Minnesota Twins, said the conference provided a time to celebrate and come together. “I’m learning that every person has their challenges and things that they’re going through, but it doesn’t mean you can’t overcome and do great things,” said Douglas, who is also part of a 20-woman cohort chosen as future leaders by Wasserman, a sports marketing and talent management company.
