Nicole Lynn, President of Football for Klutch Sports Group and author of Agent You: Show Up, Do the Work and Succeed on Your Own Terms, will share her rise to success and empower you to overcome challenges and chase your dreams.
“The adversity I experienced as a child definitely shaped my mindset as an adult. I knew that I wanted to escape that life, and I had to work hard to do it. So, I have always done just that.”
— Nicole Lynn
In 2019, Lynn became the first Black woman to represent a Top 3 NFL draft pick (and only the second woman in history to solo represent an NFL first-rounder). The following year, Lynn again made history, representing back-to-back Top 10 NFL draft picks. Since then, she has gone on to represent top NFL clients such as Jalen Hurts, Myles Garrett, Quinnen Williams, Breece Hall, Ed Ingram, and many others. Named by Sports Illustrated as one of the most powerful women in sports, Lynn will empower you to create your own future while remaining true to yourself.
Be a Game Changer and support YWCA’s mission to eliminate racism and empower women!
Be part of our vision.
We envision a world of opportunity. We commit ourselves to the work of racial justice. We will get up and continue to do the work until injustice is rooted out, until institutions are transformed, until the world sees women, girls, and people of color the way we do.
Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.
Building a better community through partnership.
Our community is at a tipping point in history where dismantling systemic racism can provide the type of world we ALL deserve. As the leading agency providing key social determinants of health through housing, young adult services, and racial equity, YWCA is uniquely positioned to help change the landscape of poverty and oppression for our underserved community. Together, we can meet our community needs head-on as eviction moratoriums are lifted, post-pandemic employment and school trends change, rates of violence in our city skyrocket, and the psychological ramifications of post-pandemic isolation continue rising to the surface.
