Join us for an inspiring panel discussion that will delve into the transformative role of Black women in contemporary sneaker culture and basketball. Presented in partnership with Full Court 21 Canada, size?, The Collective, and Canada Basketball, Ladies First: Give & Glow will explore the challenges, triumphs, and journeys of four trailblazing women, from seeking inclusion at existing tables to building their own. Through candid conversation and shared experiences, panelists will illuminate how they’ve navigated male-dominated industries while carving out space for the next generation of leaders. This powerful dialogue promises to inspire anyone seeking to break barriers and redefine what’s possible in sports, business, and culture while offering ideas for growth, building meaningful connections, and leading the way toward more inclusive and equitable spaces.
