Leisa Washington, shares what it’s like to be a female agent in the male dominated world of professional basketball.  Leisa,  Canada’s first NBA/WNBA player agent talks about the adversity she faces and the fine line she walks, striving to be true to herself and prove she is an equal in a playing field dominated by men.  She shares her insights into what it takes to succeed in such an environment, the importance of authenticity and how the agency she serves as Vice President of, Serving Athletes with Integrity Sports Management, helps their clients reach their potential both on and off the court.    While Leisa entered into this journey to become a WNBA agent, because of her daughter Dakota’s talent on the court, she explores with host Wendy Sparks, how her goals have grown and evolved  and how she has become a champion for increased equality and equity for women in sports.

Leisa Washington “Pledge to God”

Leisa Washington is the first Canadian female WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) agent. This accomplishment is a monumental notch in the ‘legacy-in-progress’ of a woman who understands the importance of building and nurturing relationships, as well as fostering opportunities and growth for those who need it. Those who know and work with Leisa say that she is a woman of integrity who has a lot of compassion for people – especially kids and youth. In the last few years, Leisa has managed to transform her benevolent nature into founding Camda Sports Foundation Canada –– an organization dedicated to funding underprivileged children and their families in recreational sports, while also providing financial assistance so they can have the same opportunities and access to Education, Arts and Music programs that other kids/youth in mid to high income families and neighborhoods have. Leisa is very passionate about the principal mandates of Camda – Sports, Education, and Arts &amp; Music (S.E.A.M). Leisa was recently honored by NABFEME (National Association of Black Female Executives in Media &amp; Entertainment). The Toronto charter of NABFEME hosted an event to honor her accomplishment as Canada’s first female WNBA Agent. The event, She’s Got Game, featured a sit-down interview with Leisa about her inspirations, motivations, challenges and successes. During the interview, Leisa shed light on some of the projects she has in store including her first memoir which she is currently writing. In yet another addition to all her accomplishments, on January 23rd, 2014, Leisa became an NBA Agent. She is also the Manager, Member Services at the new state-of-the-art Abilities Centre in Whitby, Ontario where she manages the customer service and sales department. She works with the Abilities Centre to enrich the quality of life for individuals of all ages and abilities through an inclusive environment. Leisa was also Ontario Liberal Candidate, Whitby (2018) and launched her sports agency, the MPP Sports Group in August 2018. Recently, Ms. Washington was on our show.
