“I think it is important to celebrate black history, especially in our industry because of the immense impact that we have had on sports. While black people have often been celebrated and praised for our contributions on the court or field, I think the next frontier is highlighting black people that are behind the scenes shaping the industry. Very few of us are born with the genetics that professional athletes possess, but it is much more likely that we can design and market the products they wear, or become entrepreneurs and high ranking executives at sport brands. It’s hard to see yourself in these positions, if you don’t see yourself in these positions.”⁣⁣ -Reggie⁣⁣ ⁣
