About Woods + Bennett

Woods + Bennett was founded with a bold mission: to elevate and amplify Black and Brown women athletes, creators, and cultural changemakers — ensuring they receive the visibility, partnerships, and opportunities they deserve.

What began in sports has evolved into a platform at the intersection of talent, storytelling, and social impact. Today, we represent and advise professional and collegiate athletes across disciplines — from Olympians and world champions to rising NCAA stars — as well as select authors, documentarians, and creators whose work moves culture forward. Our reach extends beyond management into brand partnerships, event strategy, and philanthropic consulting, creating moments and movements that connect purpose with possibility.

Why We’re Different

Led by Dr. Joy Woods Bennett, whose Ph.D. in Interpersonal Communication informs every relationship, narrative, and negotiation, Woods + Bennett blends academic rigor with industry intuition. We bring a scholar’s depth, a strategist’s precision, and a producer’s creativity to everything we do — from athlete brand development and event production to social-impact storytelling.

More than management, we build legacy.
