About Woods + Bennett

Woods + Bennett was founded with a clear mission: to elevate Black and Brown women athletes, creators, and authors and ensure they receive the visibility, partnerships, and opportunities they deserve.

What began in sports has grown into a broader platform for representation and impact. Today, we manage and champion athletes while also partnering with select authors, documentarians, and creators whose work drives cultural conversations. Whether it’s securing a brand deal, launching a community initiative, or amplifying a book release, Woods + Bennett stands at the intersection of talent, storytelling, and social change.

Why We’re Different

With a doctorate in Interpersonal Communication, founder Dr. Joy Woods Bennett brings academic rigor and strategic expertise to relationship building, storytelling, and brand alignment. Combined with experience representing Olympians, collegiate standouts, authors, and history-makers, Woods + Bennett offers more than management — we offer a vision for legacy.
