Melva Thompson-Robinson, student-Athlete Parent (2022) Testimonial:
"My NILCOMBINE AHA Moment was when EJ. Cutliff spoke about Linkedin... I'm going to implement this knowledge today by adding the work that I do for my son's brand to my page and set up a page for him."
Holly Summers (2022) NIL Panel:
"Sivonnia said to be yourself and that she believes she is where she is because she was always true to herself. As a student, that is something I have been struggling with lately. I feel like I am an imposter or that I should change my personality to be seen more. I really appreciated that Sivonnia said that. "
Transformed Belief in Self: "I'm going to be unequivocally me and I say that to myself ever since I met [Sivonnia]."
REAL IMPACT to build confidence and create demand in the NIL space for your benefit.
Evin Norman (2022) Testimonial:

IRIS BAILEY
MAYOR & DEAN OF STUDENTS
"It [Athletes Making Moves event] was very awesome and I was very impressed."
SUNNITA BLOUNT
ATTORNEY
"I would say the biggest takeaway was that a lot of people don't have a team because they either don't know whom they need or are discouraged due to financial difficulties. However, if they want to succeed and protect their brand it is pertinent to invest in others to assist them. "
LYNN SPEER
STUDENT ATHLETE PARENT
"If we had not come into contact with this presentation...nine times out of ten, we would have met it, possibly on the back end on the wrong side."
DR. JAZMINE CALHOUN
STUDENT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
My biggest takeaway is "That education is the key to understand what NIL is and also understanding the disparities that some communities will face when having to deal with NIL.."
DAVID SHIELDS
"My biggest takeaway was the encouragement given to know yourself and your brand before taking up a partnership that may be in conflict your personal values and priorities. Sometimes we get in such a rush to make things happen that we create unhealthy business relationships simply because we haven't clearly articulated to ourselves what is important to us.
LAUREN KING
