Women in Sports Initiative
BESLA’s Women in Sports Initiative is dedicated to championing gender equity and creating impactful opportunities for women across all areas of the sports industry. As a core part of our mission, this initiative aims to uplift women, amplify their voices, and advocate for their rightful place in leadership, representation, and influence within sports business, media, law, and management.
Through mentorship programs, strategic partnerships, educational panels, and networking events, BESLA empowers women to thrive in what has traditionally been a male-dominated field.
By supporting this initiative, you’re advancing BESLA’s mission and helping build a more inclusive and dynamic future for sports.
Join us in this movement. Contact us today to learn how you can contribute, partner, or participate in shaping the next generation of women leaders in sports.
Annual Film Festival Initiative
BESLA’s Annual Film Festivals celebrates filmmakers all around the globe and celebrates African American storytelling. Filmmakers are invited to submit their short films every fall for a chance to showcase their work at BESLA’s Annual Conference. Finalists compete for the chance to be featured on major media platforms. Contact us today to learn how you can showcase your filmmaking talents to some of the leading executives in entertainment and sports law industries.
